Radioactive Rain
Smith & Thell Lyrics

Hands in the air towards the heavens
We raised our hands to the sky in a gesture of awe and wonder.

And our eyes were ever blue
Our eyes were constantly bright and clear with optimism and hope.

Oh, we promised us forever
We made an eternal commitment to each other.

But forever came too soon
Unfortunately, our time together was cut short unexpectedly.

You stuck your tongue out catchin' snowflakes
You were enjoying the small, happy moments of life by playfully catching snowflakes on your tongue.

And didn't notice it was dust
But amid the beauty and fun, you didn't realize the harmful reality that was settling all around us.

There is poison in the ashes
The remnants of destruction contain toxic substances that are harmful to our health.

But we never thought that it was us
Despite the obvious danger, we never considered that we ourselves could be affected.

And now I jump without a parachute again
I am taking another risky and reckless leap of faith with no safety net.

(In the radioactive rain)
In an environment contaminated by hazardous materials.

Typical me to never think 'bout where I land
I have a habit of acting without considering the consequences or preparing for the aftermath.

I land, I land, I land
I take a chance and hope for the best, repeatedly.

And we danced, danced, danced
Despite the dangers and consequences, we chose to celebrate life and dance joyfully.

Before we ever knew about pain
Before we experienced the devastating effects of our actions or environment.

There was somethin' about this fame that made you
The allure of attention and success led you to become someone different.

Change, change, change
You transformed into a new version of yourself in pursuit of fame and fortune.

But we blamed it all on the game
We excused our actions and choices by blaming the industry or society that encouraged them.

Wanna have a last dance with me
Do you want to spend our final moments together doing something meaningful and memorable?

There's a moment before dyin'
Right before death, there is a brief moment of weightlessness and freedom.

Where you're weightless in the air
You feel unencumbered by the physical world and all its limitations.

We saw the smoke on the horizon
We witnessed the warning signs of danger but did not act quickly enough to avoid it.

Without a thought of bein' scared
We were numb to fear, or perhaps didn't fully understand the consequences of our situation.

And let's pretend that we don't know where this will end
We may be aware of the inevitable outcome, but choose to ignore it and live in denial.

Will end, will end, will end
The conclusion we are avoiding will come whether we acknowledge it or not.

While we dance, dance, dance
Even in the face of danger and death, we continue to move and revel in the moment.

In the radioactive rain
Amid an environment full of hazardous and potentially deadly substances.

Dance, dance, dance
A repetitive encouragement to celebrate and enjoy our final moments.

Yeah, we danced, danced, danced
Affirmation of the joy and energy of our celebration.

In the radioactive, radioactive rain
Repetition of the danger of our environment and the ongoing potential for harm.
