The first song on Imagine Dragons' debut album Night Visions gives off a revolutionary vibe, but leaves what is being changed up to interpretation. Some argue it is about nuclear war, others say it is about Wall Street and similar protests, and some think it is really talking about the end of the wo...
Radioactive Lyrics
[Intro]
Woah, oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh
Woah
[Verse 1]
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
[Refrain]
I'm breaking in, shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Woah
[Chorus]
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, woah
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Woah-oh, woah
I'm radioactive, radioactive
[Verse 2]
I raise my flags, dye my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Woah
[Refrain]
I'm breaking in, shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Woah
[Chorus]
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, woah
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Woah-oh, woah
I'm radioactive, radioactive
[Bridge]
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside
[Chorus]
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, woah
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Woah-oh, woah
I'm radioactive, radioactive
