Meaning Of The Song 'Radioactive'

In the song “Radioactive” by Imagine dragons is about a time in prison with hard physical labor. The song has more than just one meaning, one is the hard physical labor of a prisoner and the second one is an uprising getting back into reality from prison. At the beginning stanza of the song the lead vocalist Dan Reynolds sing “ I wipe my brow and sweat my rust” (Line 6) which means very hard physical labor and abuse from instructions or other personals. This line means a lot to people who have been in prison or had to do hard work before. Dan says in lines 9 and 22 “I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones” meaning that a person is coming back to reality from prison or have an illness that made a person leave reality. One reason why this line is
important is because, when people come back into reality to the real world again after a while. He also said one time talking to E! News the composer Paul Rodgers wrote the song for a friend they all had who went into prison for a crime that the friend did not commit. Lines 31-32 says “ All systems go, the sun hasn't died/ Deep in my bones, straight from inside” meaning that there's still hope in a person who went through a tragedy in their life. Not only does “Radioactive” make people feel better about themselves when they are feeling down, but it also makes me feel better about everything when I listen to the song. Finally the song is very good and might just cheer up a person's.
