Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i get lost sometimes
and i don't know what to do
then i turn it on

the radio

then we hear from them
on the radio
through the deathening home
of the radio

well the most it's done
an obsessive tune
but it flezzed just once
i could hear from you




and get response
on the radio

Overall Meaning

The song "Radio" by Bakers at Dawn depicts the power of music, specifically the radio, in providing solace and comfort during times of confusion and uncertainty. The opening line, "i get lost sometimes and i don't know what to do," highlights a feeling of disorientation and confusion. However, the subsequent line, "then i turn it on / the radio," suggests that the singer turns to music as a way to navigate their emotions and find clarity.


The chorus, "then we hear from them / on the radio / through the deathening home / of the radio," reinforces the idea that music is a powerful force that can break through even the most difficult of situations. The use of the word "deathening" to describe the home in which the radio is playing adds a layer of complexity to the song, suggesting that music has the ability to breathe life into even the most lifeless of spaces.


Overall, "Radio" is a powerful meditation on the role of music and the radio in providing comfort and clarity during times of confusion and despair. It highlights the importance of turning to music as a way to connect with others, find solace, and navigate through difficult emotions.
