Awakening to Apocalypse: Embracing Change in a Radioactive World
Lyrics
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I am waking up surrounded by remnants of destruction and debris.
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I wipe sweat from my forehead, symbolizing exertion and hardship.
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I am inhaling harmful chemicals, possibly reflecting a polluted or dangerous environment.
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
I am breaking into a new state, improving myself, and then departing from a confining situation, perhaps metaphorically represented as a prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse
This moment signifies a catastrophic event, possibly the end of the world.
Whoa
An expression of awe or surprise.
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
I am awakening, feeling a change at a fundamental level.
Enough to make my systems blow
Intense emotions or experiences are overwhelming my internal systems.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
A greeting or acknowledgment of a new era or significant change.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of a new era or significant change.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
An assertion of being radioactive, possibly symbolizing a powerful or transformative state.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Reiteration of the assertion of being radioactive.
I raise my flags, don my clothes
I am displaying symbols of identity and preparing for a revolution.
It's a revolution, I suppose
Characterizing the upcoming change as a revolution.
We'll paint it red to fit right in
The revolution involves a significant transformation, depicted metaphorically as painting everything red to blend in.
Whoa
Expression of awe or surprise, similar to line 6.
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
Reiteration of breaking into a new state and departing from a confining situation.
This is it, the apocalypse
Reiteration of a catastrophic event, possibly the end of the world.
Whoa
Expression of awe or surprise, similar to lines 6 and 16.
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Reiteration of awakening and feeling a change at a fundamental level.
Enough to make my systems blow
Intense emotions or experiences are overwhelming internal systems, echoing line 8.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
A greeting or acknowledgment of a new era or significant change, echoing lines 9 and 10.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of a new era or significant change.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Reiteration of being radioactive, symbolizing a powerful or transformative state.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Reiteration of the assertion of being radioactive.
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Confirming that all systems are functioning optimally, and hope or vitality persists.
Deep in my bones, straight from inside
Deep within me, there is a source of strength and resilience.
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Reiteration of awakening and feeling a change at a fundamental level.
Enough to make my systems blow
Intense emotions or experiences are overwhelming internal systems, echoing lines 8 and 21.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
A greeting or acknowledgment of a new era or significant change, echoing lines 9, 10, and 22.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of a new era or significant change.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Reiteration of being radioactive, symbolizing a powerful or transformative state.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Reiteration of the assertion of being radioactive.
