Radioactive
Dual Sessions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
I raise my flags, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We'll paint it red to fit right in
Whoa
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age




Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dual Sessions’ song “Radioactive” describe the singer’s sense of being in the midst of an apocalypse. The opening lines suggest a world that has been destroyed and is now nothing but “ash and dust.” The image of the singer wiping his brow and sweating rust suggests someone who has been through a great deal of hardship – perhaps even a survivor of a nuclear disaster. He’s “breathing in the chemicals,” perhaps suggesting that the air is toxic or that the singer is wearing a mask for protection. There is a sense of rebellion to the singer’s lines about “breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus.” This could suggest a prisoner who has decided to escape, or a person who is rejecting society’s rules and expectations. Either way, it seems clear that the singer is ready for radical change: “This is it, the apocalypse.”


The chorus of the song invites the listener to “Welcome to the new age.” This could suggest that the apocalypse has created a new world – either for better or for worse. The repeated phrase “I’m radioactive” suggests that the singer feels changed or altered by whatever has happened to the world around him. In the second verse, the singer describes raising flags and preparing for revolution. The line “It’s a revolution, I suppose” suggests a certain sense of ambiguity or uncertainty. The singer is ready to take action, but he’s not entirely sure what the outcome will be. The final lines of the song suggest that the sun is still shining and that the radiation has not destroyed everything. It’s a message of hope, but one that still leaves open the possibility that the apocalypse will continue.
