Make a Wish
Radical Noise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who cares? My secrets, regret, mislead
You're the victim of your ownself; it's your mistake
I'll fight, to get my life, take it back
Work hard, save money, get married, buy your own grave

Make a wish; it's for your bliss
Enter the world of pink dreams, here are the keys
Enforced, classified, qualified, a robot mind
Die for your, pray for your, pay for your state, it's payback time
Can't feel, my heartbeats, like steel, I'm cold
Hate me, kick me, bomb me, feed me, are you that bold?

Make a wish; it's for your bliss
Enter the world of pink dreams, here are the keys





Won't make a wish, we've got the real keys

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Radical Noise's song "Make a Wish" are deep and thought-provoking. The song speaks to the societal pressures and expectations placed on individuals to follow a certain path in life, including getting a job, saving money, getting married, and ultimately buying their own grave. The opening lines, "Who cares? My secrets, regret, mislead, You're the victim of your ownself; it's your mistake," seem to reject this conformist mentality and suggests that it is up to the individual to take control of their life, rather than allowing societal pressures to govern them.


The chorus, "Make a wish; it's for your bliss, Enter the world of pink dreams, here are the keys," further emphasizes this point by suggesting that individuals should pursue their own dreams and desires, rather than conform to what society expects of them. The reference to "pink dreams" may imply a sense of innocence, purity, and freedom, which further emphasizes the idea of breaking free from societal expectations.


The second verse takes a more critical look at the pressure placed on individuals to conform to society's expectations, calling it "enforced, classified, qualified, a robot mind." It suggests that this mentality strips individuals of their ability to truly feel and express themselves, leading them to become cold and emotionless, "like steel." The line "Won't make a wish, we've got the real keys" seems to suggest that the true key to happiness and fulfillment is not in conforming to societal expectations, but in breaking free and pursuing one's own desires, leading to a more authentic and fulfilling life.
