Imagine Dragons - Radioactive Video, Review & Lyrics

Meet the Band

Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds' mind is fully blown. After years of grinding it out in half-empty Leno and Kimmel, and a single, "Radioactive," that's the biggest rock hit of the year.

clubs, the Las Vegas band is facing a sold-out world tour, appearances on

"I'm just trying to keep my head from spinning too much," says the frontman. "Everything has been crazy."

The group, who sound like a mixture of Mumford & Sons and Coldplay, have spent the last year and a half on a grueling world tour. "There's not much glamour to it," Reynolds says. "We're on a bus where every bunk is full with a bunch of stinky dudes. You wake up, go straight to to an interview, do interviews all day and then do the show at night. You repeat that in every city. It's hard to keep it fresh sometimes."

Lyrics

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
(inhale) (exhale)

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