I used to think the singer of this song was requesting that somebody stand by him/her in times of trouble, but it is the opposite. The singer is saying that in times of trouble, come "stand by me," and I will help you through it.

It's the female version of the Dion And The Belmonts song "Runaround Sue" because both songs have narrators who gave their ex-lovers appropriate nicknames for hurting them so, and they are telling future suitors how they were treated when they were together, and they don't want to see the future suitors hurt like they were.

This song means that sometimes, despite trying to express love or fix a situation, words fail to convey the depth of emotion or mend the damage. It also is about the realization that saying things isn't enough- that you need actions or a deeper connection to prevent the collapse of your relationship and the frustration of trying to reach someone who feels emotionally distant. They sing of the heartbreaking moment when you realize that no matter how perfectly you say how you feel, sometimes the words just aren't enough to make a difference in your relationship.

Oh man, last reaction 21 YEARS AGO! I guess this song, their music, her voice is timeless. This song cuts so unbelievably deep. I've experienced betrayal and loss in a extremely brutal way, and this resonates so hard.

Both the protagonist and Rosalie are dangerous to society, though one is significantly less violent, which is the Protagonist as his isn't locked up, still able to roam around town and hear where his "sweet" Rosalie went, in some lines he seems fearful but enthralled all the same by her, leading speculation if he is as insane as her or if he is playing along in survival or some sort of twisted fantasy. Another thing is how, in my head at least, it links to her being an animal with her biting him and such, leading me to think maybe...

Like the illusion made in that one cabaret song on the gorilla "If you could see through my eyes" type of way.
This, in my head, is Henry himself speaking to a new women, warning him about himself in a new alias, speaking in detail on what he did to his new woman he's courting, a sick pleasure he may get from explaining his exploits to his next unknowing victim, as the woman "Fed" to the sink (Stuffed in pieces to hide evidence maybe?) may be his of an addiction.

This links to the lore of their song "The Black Wagon", which makes me believe the main "Cain" )as in Cain and Able from the many religious books, such as the Bible and the Quran) also commits murders whilst singing about it, which also links to their newest song being "The American Murder Song"

I strongly believe this song "Radioactive" is about the singer's realization of the power within himself. "I'm waking up through ash and dust." to me says that he is shaking off all the preconceived notions that all the people in his life had for him. "Breathing in the chemicals" to me signifies the getting charged over the positivity of all that life has to offer. When he mentions the apocalypse, I feel he means that today he must make a decision to either change and succeed or do nothing and become like everyone else. "I'm...

"I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones, (enough) to make my systems go, welcome to the new age..." Yes he actually says "enough" but nonetheless I feel that he accepts he will change for the better and rejoices in that decision.
"I'm radioactive!" shows nothing will stop him from succeeding, nothing will get in his way and he will succeed.
The song's video with the little bear victoriously fighting off the monster further illustrates this point.
Furthermore, Imagine Dragons song "It's time" also talks about moving forward and bettering yourself.
