Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not unattracted
Turn me on tonight
'Cause I'm radioactive
Radioactive
There's not a fight
And I'm not your captive
'Cause I'm radioactive
Radioactive
I want to stay with you
I want to play with you baby
I want to lay with you
And I want you to know
Got to concentrate
Don't be distractive
Turn me on tonight
'Cause I'm radioactive
Radioactive
Radioactive
Radioactive
I want to stay with you
I don't want to play with you
I want just to lay with you
And I want you to know
Got to concentrate
Don't be distractive
Turn me on tonight
'Cause I'm radioactive oh yeah
Oh yeah radioactive
Don't you stand, stand too close
You might catch it
The lyrics to "Radioactive" by The Firm appear to be about sexual attraction and desire. The singer declares that they are not uptight or unattracted to their lover and that they are "radioactive" and want to be turned on. They ask their lover not to be distracting and to concentrate on them, so that they can be fully turned on and enjoy their time together. The repetition of the word "radioactive" throughout the song reinforces the idea that the attraction between them is intense and powerful.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I want to stay with you, I want to play with you baby, I want to lay with you" which reinforces the idea of sexual desire, but also implies a deeper emotional connection between the two individuals. The use of the phrase "turn me on tonight" also serves as a double entendre, reinforcing the sexual themes while also alluding to the idea of being emotionally and intellectually stimulated.
