Radioactive

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wipe my brow and sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in and shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it the apocalypse
I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems grow
Welcome to the new age
To the new age
Welcome to the new age
To the new age
ohohohohohohoh

Radioactive
ohohohohohohohoh

Radioactive
I raise my flag and don my clothes
It's a revolution I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
whoa-oh
I'm breaking in and shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
whoa-oh
I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems grow
Welcome to the new age
To the new age
Welcome to the new age
To the new age
ohohohohohohohoh

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 grow
Welcome to the new age
To the new age
Welcome to the new age
To the new age
ohohohohohohohoh

Nicole Andersson's "Radioactive" is a song that describes the end of the world and the dawn of a new era. The song starts with the line "I'm waking up to ash and dust," which establishes the sense of destruction and ruin that permeates the entire track. The character in the song wipes her brow and swears, clearly suggesting that she is working hard to build something new amidst the chaos. The line "I'm breathing in the chemicals" is an obvious nod to the toxic environment the character is facing. The chorus is a declaration of the character's readiness to embrace the new age, with the repeated refrain "Welcome to the new age." The repetition of this line helps to reinforce the idea that the character is shifting from one era to the next, and is ready to embrace what is to come.
The song's lyrics also explore the idea of revolution, with the character raising a flag and donning her clothes in order to fit in. This suggests that the character is part of a movement, and that she is actively working to create change. The lines "We're painted red to fit right in" suggest that the character is part of a larger group of people who are all working towards a common goal. The prison bus line is a nod to the idea that society is oppressive and that the character is only able to break free through challenging the status quo.
Overall, "Radioactive" is a song that explores ideas of destruction, rebirth, and revolution. It is a powerful anthem that encourages listeners to embrace change and work towards a brighter future.
