Marina And The Diamonds – Radioactive lyrics

Marina And The Diamonds – Radioactive lyrics

Lying on a fake beach,
You'll never get a tan.
Baby, I'm gonna leave you drowing,
Until you reach for my hand.

In the night your heart is full
And by the morning empty.
But baby, I'm the one who left you,
You're not the one who left me.

When you're around me I'm radioactive.
My blood is burning, radioactive.
I'm turning radioactive.
My blood is radioactive.

My heart is nuclear.
Love is all that I fear.
I'm turning radioactive.
My blood is radioactive.

Waiting for the nightfall,
For my heart to light up.
Oh baby, I want you to die for,
For you to die for my love.

In the night your heart is full
And by the morning empty.
But baby, I'm the one who left you,
You're not the one who left me.

When you're around me I'm radioactive.
My blood is burning, radioactive.
I'm turning radioactive.
My blood is radioactive.

My heart is nuclear.
Love is all that I fear.
Ready to be let down.
And now I'm heading for a meltdown.

Tonight I feel like neon gold.
I take one look at you and I grow cold.
And I grow cold.
And I grow cold.

When you're around me I'm radioactive.
My blood is burning, radioactive.
I'm turning radioactive.
My blood is radioactive.

[X2]
My heart is nuclear.
Love is all that I fear.
Ready to be let down.
And now I'm heading for a meltdown.

I think that this song is about a girl who wasn't ready for love but it found her anyway. I think that she has a fear of falling in love because she is afraid the guy will leave her at any moment (thus the my heart is nuclear, love is all I fear) I think sometimes she acts very affectionate, warm and loving towards him and other times she is cold and distant from him because she is falling fast for him but doesn't want to get attached (thus the line in the night your heart is full and by the morning empty) I think her head spins, her heart pounds and her stomach is full of butterflies around him and she is not her normal self (thus the line when your around me I'm radio active my blood is burning radio active) I feel that she can't handle her feelings about the relationship (thus the line I'm heading for a meltdown).

Why do you think it means anything? And if it does, isn't that up to the artist (or listener) ? Beside if I knew it (bothered to), I would keep it to myself; D. Btw: the lyrics are as vague and not so clear like a teenagers-styled cues (even after viewing the clip) (maybe that was the whole idea - getting to emo, brainlesss, weak and confused teenagers (the fans) !)

A story of twisted sense of possession. A tale of a hunter falling in love with his prey, his prized possession. Like a spider that paralyzes its victim, but unsure of what to do with it. It was not an easy catch, so he stores his find until he finds something to do with it. With all that time that has elapsed, he slowly but surely falls in love with this prisoner. The captor, a more intelligent being, is disgusted with himself falling for a lesser being. So he disguises his affection and continues tormenting his captive. He is in denial. This was a romance that was not supposed to happen. Our hunter is in chaos with himself. Torn between feeding his ego, heart or stomach. He is the true victim.
