Radioactive
Madilyn 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, ooh

I'm breaking in, I'm shaping up
And 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, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, I don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We'll paint it red to fit right in, whoa

I'm breaking in, I'm shaping up
And checking out of 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, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, 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, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Je me réveille en lambeaux
Je essuie mon front et je suce ma rouille
Je respire les produits chimiques

Je m'interromps, je suis en forme, puis je sors du bus de la prison
C'est l'apocalypse
Whoa

Je me réveille, je le sens dans mes os
Assez pour faire sauter mes systèmes
Bienvenue dans le nouvel âge, au nouvel âge
Bienvenue dans le nouvel âge, au nouvel âge
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, je suis radioactif, radioactif
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, je suis radioactif, radioactif

Lève mon drapeau, je mets mes vêtements
C'est une révolution, je suppose
Nous le peignons en rouge pour s'adapter
Whoa



Je m'interromps, je suis en forme, puis je sors du bus de la prison
C'est l'apocalypse
Whoa

Je me réveille, je le sens dans mes os
Assez pour faire sauter mes systèmes
Bienvenue dans le nouvel âge, au nouvel âge
Bienvenue dans le nouvel âge, au nouvel âge
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, je suis radioactif, radioactif
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, je suis radioactif, radioactif

Tous les systèmes vont, le soleil n'est pas mort
Au fond de mes os, directement de l'intérieur

Je me réveille, je le sens dans mes os
Assez pour faire sauter mes systèmes
Bienvenue dans le nouvel âge, au nouvel âge
Bienvenue dans le nouvel âge, au nouvel âge
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, je suis radioactif, radioactif
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, je suis radioactif, radioactif
