Lyrics of Radioactive by Imagine Dragons
verse
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
pre-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
chorus
Whoa, oh, whoa, I'm
Radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, whoa, I′m
Radioactive, radioactive
verse
I raise my flag, dye my clothes
It′s a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in, whoa
I′m breaking in and shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse, whoa
pre-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
chorus
Whoa, oh, whoa, I′m
Radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, whoa, I'm
Radioactive, radioactive
bridge
All systems go
The sun hasn′t died
Deep in my bones
Straight from inside
pre-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
chorus
Whoa, oh, whoa, I'm
Radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, whoa, I′m
Radioactive, radioactive

Meaning
The song 'Radioactive' by Imagine Dragons paints a picture of a post-apocalyptic world where the narrator feels the changes in their surroundings and within themselves. The references to being 'radioactive' symbolize a transformation or awakening, while the 'new age' signifies a fresh start or a different era amidst chaos and revolution.
