Radioactive
Kings of Leon West Angeles Mass Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope you see me there
It's in the water, it's where you came from
It's in the water, it's where you came from
And the crowd begins to wander
And they cry to see your face
Your sons and daughters in all their glory it's gonna shape 'em
And when they pledge and come together, and start a rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from
So the road it was carved from nothing
Never sold yourself away
It's in the water, it's in the story of where you came from
Your sons and daughters in all their glory its gonna shape 'em
And when they dance and come together, and start a rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from
And when they pledge and come together and start a rising
Just drink the water where you came from where you came from
The lyrics to "Radioactive" by Kings of Leon West Angeles Mass Choir are interesting and thought-provoking. The opening lines mention a road that is carved up yonder and an ultimate hope to be seen there. This seems to speak to a sense of longing or a desire to be remembered, possibly after death. The line "It's in the water, it's where you came from" suggests that the singer is connecting their own identity and legacy with something elemental and fundamental, like water itself. This idea is repeated throughout the song and seems to be a central theme.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the crowd and their reaction to an unnamed figure. The line "And they cry to see your face" suggests that this person is well-known, possibly famous, and has a loyal following. However, the emphasis remains on the importance of where this person comes from and the ways in which their origin story has shaped them and those around them. The lines "Your sons and daughters in all their glory it's gonna shape 'em / And when they pledge and come together, and start a rising / Just drink the water where you came from" suggest that the people who come from this place will carry on the legacy of this figure and contribute to their continued influence and impact.
The final lines of the song return to the idea of the road being carved from nothing and the importance of staying true to oneself. "Never sold yourself away" suggests that the singer is urging listeners to remain authentic and not compromise their values or identity. The repetition of the phrase "where you came from" throughout the song reinforces this message and highlights the central importance of one's roots and origins.
