Radioattività
Mistonocivo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sentire viva unica
Forse questo seme
Sangue come miele
Qualcuno al vento scivola
Chi invece il tempo domina
Scelgo fra male e bene
Prendo quel che viene di più
Come una fiamma ossidrica
Tagli liberi l'anima
Strappi le catene
Di un cuore che trattiene
Corpi in balia di folgori
Piegati come alberi
Pregano tutti insieme
Credendo che sia bene
Ma poi reagisco
Agli scompensi che hai
Quando finisce
Sono al limite
E nn resisto
Alle cose che mi fai
Attratto dal tuo vertice
Alteri le mie cellule
Sento il tuo seme
Sangue come miele
Imtimamente unica
Giochi con la staticità
Abusi con piacere
Di chi ti può dare di più
Come il profumo di mondi lontani sei tu
Ma poi reagisco
Agli scompensi che hai
Quando finisce
Sono al limite.....
The song "Radioattività" by Mistonocivo talks about how the singer feels alive and unique when they engage with something that excites them, even if it's potentially dangerous, like radiation. They mention how some people go with the flow of time while others try to control it and choose between good and evil. The singer chooses to take what comes their way, perhaps symbolized by the blue of the painted seas (which could refer to the false beauty of man-made things). The second stanza employs the metaphor of a cutting flame that frees the soul and tears the chains of a heart that restrains. The imagery becomes dark as the idea of bodies at the mercy of lightning-like shocks bent like trees come up, praying together as if it's good. The singer, however, reacts to the imbalances caused by this way of being, and when it's all said and done, they're on the edge and cannot resist the attraction of the person that embodies a unique and intimate kind of radiation. This individual plays with the stability of others, using their power to take more, like the scent of distant worlds.
The song is about risk-taking, doing what excites you despite the potential danger. Radiation is just a symbol for this kind of engagement with life. The singer is aware of the risks of their behavior, but chooses to embrace it regardless. They want to be free of societal chains that limit their experiences, and are willing to take the consequences of their actions. The person they're attracted to seems to be a source of powerful energy that takes advantage of others' stability, but the singer cannot resist their allure, even if it puts them on the edge. The song has an overall message about living life to the fullest and taking risks, even if they come at a cost.
