Radioactive Cover
Pentatonix & Lindsey Stirling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust,
I'm breathing in, the chemicals.
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse, woah.
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.
Woah, woah, I'm radioactive, radioactive.
Woah, woah, I'm radioactive, radioactive.
I'm breaking in, shaping up,
Then checking out on the prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse, woah.
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.
Woah, woah, I'm radioactive, radioactive.
Woah, woah, I'm radioactive, radioactive.
All systems go, sun hasn't died.
Deep in my bones, straight from inside.
I'm waking up, I'm waking up, 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.
Woah, woah, I'm radioactive, radioactive.
Woah, woah, I'm radioactive, radioactive.
The lyrics to Pentatonix & Lindsey Stirling's song "Radioactive Cover" talk about a post-apocalyptic world that is ridden with ash, dust, and chemicals, as the singer wakes up to this new reality. He feels a sense of unease and tries to adapt to this new environment, breaking in and shaping up. Then, he decides to check out on the prison bus, which could suggest that he is trying to escape from the current state of the world. The chorus emphasizes the feelings of being radioactive and waking up to a new age, suggesting that the apocalypse has caused a significant change in the world.
The second and third verses repeat the same ideas, but the singer emphasizes the feeling of "waking up." He feels the apocalypse in his bones, and it is enough to make his systems blow. The last verse talks about all systems going, suggesting that the singer is adapting to the new world and that he is still alive. The song finishes with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the theme of waking up to a new age and the feeling of being radioactive.
