Transmission
Tina Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the sunshine from the radio
Disconnect my mind from traffic
Beaming through the London static
Shelter from the rain
Feel the sunshine from the radio
Feel the sunshine from the radio
Same old, same old, same old's all I hear
Hear the punch line on the radio
Hear the punch line on the radio
Voices weaving, smokescreen dreaming
Cold, deceiving, cloud my hearing
Shelter from the rain
Shelter from the rain
Sell the same line through the radio
Sell the same line through the radio
Through the airwaves
Daylight breaking
Empty promise, living, faking
Is this all there is
Radio
In Tina Grace's song "Transmission," she portrays the power of radio and the impact it has on our daily lives. Grace aims to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the world and find solace in the radio's warm sunshine. She chooses to remove herself from the traffic and static of London and instead, immerse herself entirely in the radio's calming energy. It becomes her shelter from the rain, both literally and figuratively. She then compares the voices on the radio to sycophantic people in her life, whom she refers to as a smokescreen that clouds her hearing. She feels as though they are all telling her the same old thing, laughing in a manic manner.
Grace then explores the radio's impact on society. She talks about how the same lines are being sold through the radio, through the airwaves. It's an empty promise, and people are living by faking it. She questions whether this is all there is to life, to society. In one song, Grace manages to depict the good and the bad of the radio's impact on society and how it affects people's lives.
