Radioactive
Mix Factor Lyrics

The lyrics to Mix Factor's song Radioactive are a commentary on the decay and destruction of modern society. The opening lines "I'm waking up to ash and dust, I wipe my brow and sweat my rust, I'm breathing in the chemicals" paint a picture of a post-apocalyptic world where the air is polluted and everything is dirty and decaying. The singer then goes on to describe a personal journey of breaking out of conformity and joining a revolution, "I'm breaking in and shaping up, Then checking out on the prison bus, This is it the apocalypse". The chorus with the repetitive "Welcome to the new age, To the new age" gives the listener a sense of the new beginnings that come with destruction as we see the old ways die and the new ways take root.

The hook of the song is "I'm radioactive, radioactive" which is the singer admitting to the world that they themselves have been affected by the destruction and chaos of the new world. The last lines of the song "All systems go, Sun hasn't died, Deep in my bones, Straight from inside" highlight the fact that while everything around them may be decaying, the singer is still alive and strong, with the strength to continue fighting.
