You have to play this one out loud to feel the base. Play it through one time at maximum volume and listen...IIyplayII
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
Woah
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
What goes through your mind when you wake up? You wake up thinking the world is gonna defeat you today or you wake up thinking about defeating the world, world domination, success. Money, cars, clothes or whatever your motivation to waking up everyday is. That's what Radioactive feels like to me. Leaving yesterdays let-downs to yesterday and looking forward to today's highs, Feeling radioactive everyday is almost the only way i know how to not wither away with stress. How much closer to euphoria i will be by the end of the day is my motivation.
I raise my flags, dye my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa
waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
There are those that wake up with suicide in their brains, the ones trapped by the "prison bus effect" wake up in routine and perform their citizen duties the exact same way till their time runs out, no dreams, or their dreams were killed and destroyed beyond repair.There are people that are painted red...to fit right in...fitting in is far from who they are. Suppressing the dopeness and dumbing down for society is suicide too. It makes no difference from people that actually cut their own journeys short by ending their lives, their dreams are always gonna be just dreams, empty dreams, dreams never seen through. llplayll (0:46) Its a jam session!
Its like it's almost impossible to be part of a revolution and fit in. If you wake up feeling like you're painted red everyday why not use it to paint a new town, create something admirable and drool all over worthy. Those that don't understand the "new age", paint em a picture, give them visuals so they don't think you're loony.
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
I don't think anyone really cares how you get to the point when you're satisfied as long as you get there and you're absolutely happy with yourself and your choices. I can only hope i wake up feeling radioactive to infinity and beyond without making decisions that will come back to bite me and such. And it kinda feels good to wake up on top of the world with no real worries or troubles; just motivation to do better and continue to paint the 'new age' for those that cant comprehend it.
