- Radio Lyrics / with translationsIt came from nowhere
On the 38 Geary
A girl with a backpack of shrapnel and wire
Through spiderweb windows
Of blood stained glass
A pagoda's shadow and a cruel sunny sky
Oh the flash then the silence
Shouldn't there be screaming praying crying
Oh anything at all
Tell me where are the sirens
Fire's getting closer but I've got to stay calm
It's just the radio darling,
Just the radio and your runaway imagination
Just the radio darling
We can turn away to another station
Outside they're handing out
Fate to the wounded
Little tags in black red yellow, and green
It's now my twenty-fith hour
With a scalpel in hand
If I stop moving I will sleep on my feet
And the rumors are seething
Gunfire at freeway exits, bridges mid-barricades
I can feel the fog creeping
God where is the morphine, the sweet lidocaine
It's just the radio
Sing me a love song dear
What good has the news ever done me
Come on it'll never happen here, oh no
We are not some third world country
This is not some third world country
I'm sorry Mama
I held on for as long as I could
I'm sorry Papa
There was nothing more I could do
It's just the radio
On the 38 Geary
A girl with a backpack of shrapnel and wire
Through spiderweb windows
Of blood stained glass
A pagoda's shadow and a cruel sunny sky
Oh the flash then the silence
Shouldn't there be screaming praying crying
Oh anything at all
Tell me where are the sirens
Fire's getting closer but I've got to stay calm
It's just the radio darling,
Just the radio and your runaway imagination
Just the radio darling
We can turn away to another station
Outside they're handing out
Fate to the wounded
Little tags in black red yellow, and green
It's now my twenty-fith hour
If I stop moving I will sleep on my feet
And the rumors are seething
Gunfire at freeway exits, bridges mid-barricades
I can feel the fog creeping
God where is the morphine, the sweet lidocaine
It's just the radio
Sing me a love song dear
What good has the news ever done me
Come on it'll never happen here, oh no
We are not some third world country
This is not some third world country
I'm sorry Mama
I held on for as long as I could
I'm sorry Papa
There was nothing more I could do
It's just the radio

When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, 'Radio' by Vienna Teng is an excellent metaphor of a radio broadcast, where one can easily picture a chaotic and tragic event, perhaps that of a terrorist act. The lyrics portray the tumult, panic, and powerlessness people had to go through during the crisis, all of this contrasted with the very ordinary act of listening to the radio. The radio becomes an even more powerful symbol in the song as it constantly refers to the division between the horrible reality and the yearning for retreat or comfort in something as simple as music; thereby, making hard life and fight for sanity in adversity very apparent. The lyrics of 'Radio' encompass mainly despair, agony, social commentary, love, and reflection. On the other hand, the song's focus is on trauma and violence, disillusionment with media and desperation and helplessness. The words include the topics of brutality and suffering, which, among others, contain references to firing guns, wounding, and a medical setting that might not be appropriate for kids below 13 years old. The imagery along with the emotional weight points to the requirement of parental guidance.
