Radioactive
Macy Kate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
whoao, oh, oh, oh
I'm breaking in
shaping up
then checking out on the prison bus
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
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
The song "Radioactive" by Macy Kate is about waking up to a post-apocalyptic world where the air is filled with chemicals, and people are struggling to survive. The first verse talks about waking up to ash and dust, wiping away sweat and rust, and breathing in chemicals. It conveys a sense of exhaustion and weariness, as the environment has taken a toll on the character.
The chorus of the song talks about the new age, the apocalypse, and being radioactive. It can be interpreted as a call to action, as the character realizes that they must adapt and evolve to survive in this new world. They raise their flag, don their clothes, and join the revolution, painting it red to fit right in. The line "I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus" can be seen as a metaphor for breaking free from the constraints of the old world and shaping oneself to fit into the new one.
The bridge of the song, "All systems go, sun hasn't died, deep in my bones, straight from inside" can be seen as an affirmation of life and survival. It expresses a sense of hope and resilience, even in the face of difficult circumstances.
Overall, "Radioactive" is a powerful anthem that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It encourages listeners to embrace change and evolve to survive, even in the direst of circumstances.

@Steinchen43
I can imagine a conversation like this:
"Guys, wanna cover Radioactive?"
"Hell yeah, but we'd need a Drum and somebody on the piano."
"Fu** it, I'll do both. No worries"

@blacklistnr1
+Steinchen drei von und zu vierzig I hope that you realize that it's just a music video, I highly doubt that the sound you hear came from that performace
@jas.dav1821
Can we just talk about the fact that the guy in the back is playing keyboard and staying on beat with the drum?
@dawn2659
That, my friend, is Kurt Hugo Schneider. He is very talented and you are watching his channel :)
@haoningzhang4640
That is the channel owner, and this is not a live cover
