Imagine Dragon's Song "Radioactive" a Doomsday song?

[bubbadreier]

I was just listening to a new song that my wife is obsessed with and the whole time I was thinking this is all about a government take over or a world war with us losing. Here take a look at the lyrics while you take a listen... Thoughts?



"Radioactive"

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, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, don 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

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, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

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, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Oh hell... my 13 year old son plays that song about 30 hundred thousand times a day. They are coming to town and my son wants to go.

Well, at least its not Rap. :rocket:

I kind of like this, it's catchy. But eerily prophetic for our time, isn't it?

 

[Bravery]

Sorry Bubba, if I came across as a dick about the song.... I was just focusing on how often my son will play the song. Even when he's not playing the song I have it running though my mind... damn, now it's there "I'm radioactive, radioactive" and it will be there all day!!! lol

It does have an apocalyptic theme to it.

Oh no your cool Brave! Ever since I actually listened to the words I kinda like it, but I was in the same boat as you man. The wife listens to it non stop and I couldn't stand it!

Have you seen the video? Its Fight Club with stuffed animals and Lou Diamond Phillips! Seriously pink fuzzy bear with laser eyes kills people. That kinda ruined the whole apocalyptic vibe for me.
