JUICY
Radiation City Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pay your
payment to me
Give it up
There's nothing left to see
You're giving
Away
your time
Come play with me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
La la la la la
la la la la la
Play here with me
Pick your eyes in lasting lick
From a soothing song
In a dry, dry desert
Could cough and its occasion
Couldn't conjure up the statement




Cover up the prints we came in
Not enough, o lucky lemon, Juicy!

Overall Meaning

The song "Juicy" by Radiation City is a complex mix of cryptic lyrics and dreamy melodies. At surface level, the lyrics seem to be about a plea for attention - the singer demands payment and begs the listener to come play with them. The mention of picking eyes in the lasting lick could be interpreted as a reference to the alluring quality of the music or an invitation for the listener to let themselves be consumed by the song. The dry, dry desert and the coughing reference create an atmosphere of unease, as if the singer is asking the listener to escape reality and immerse themselves in the fantasy of the song. The final line, "Not enough, o lucky lemon, Juicy!" is a puzzling one, as its meaning is unclear - perhaps it's a reference to something specific or just a stream-of-consciousness phrase.


Interestingly, the song doesn't follow a traditional verse-chorus structure, instead opting for a more experimental approach. The melody carries the song forward while the lyrics weave in and out, adding layers of depth to the overall feeling of the track. "Juicy" is a great example of how Radiation City created a distinctive sound by blending elements of indie pop, dream pop, and experimental genres.
