Radio Lyrics

He's chosen my attic I feel it in the static He lives in my basement And I can hardly face it My performance is easy I am the god of romance And in my confusion I have the right to reign He's stolen my Oscars He trades on my jokes He makes all my engines go oh oh oh He put an "e" in the arsenal A comb in my 'fro Devine retribution And away we will go Hey hey hey hey Something's happening I can feel it Moving out of time you'll hear it Falling in the way you fear it Jumping thumping shout out something Jumping thumping shout out something Listen to the radio And you will hear the songs you know Make it effervescent here And you might have a job my dear I'm searching for something Beyond my understanding Looking for meaning Where nothing is demanding There are no surprises Where nothing is expected If you offer nothing Then everyone accepts He's stolen my Oscars He trades on my jokes He makes all my engines go oh oh oh He put an "e" in the arsenal A comb in my 'fro Devine retribution And away we will go Hey hey hey hey Something's happening I can feel it Moving out of time you'll hear it Falling in the way you fear it Jumping thumping shout out something Jumping thumping shout out something Listen to the radio And you will hear the songs you know Make it effervescent here And you might have a job my dear Ouch Ouch Ouch Radio Ouch Ouch ouch Ouch Radio He's stolen my Oscars He trades on my jokes He makes all my engines go oh oh oh He put an "e" in the arsenal A comb in my 'fro Devine retribution And away we will go Hey hey hey hey Something's happening I can feel it Moving out of time you'll hear it Falling in the way you fear it Jumping thumping shout out something Jumping thumping shout out something Listen to the radio And you will hear the songs you know Make it effervescent here And you might have a job my dear Listen to the Radio Listen to the Radio Listen to the Radio Listen to the Radio

Meaning of Radio

“Radio” by Robbie Williams is a chaotic and darkly humorous exploration of identity theft and the loss of control. The lyrics depict a surreal scenario where someone – “he” – has systematically dismantled Williams’ carefully constructed public persona, stealing his achievements ("stolen my Oscars") and twisting his image with absurd alterations like adding an "e" to "arsenal" or a comb to his hair. This invasion represents a deeper struggle for meaning and authenticity, as Williams searches for something beyond understanding, a place devoid of expectation. The frantic repetition of “Listen to the radio” suggests a desperate attempt to find solace in familiar sounds, ironically highlighting the disruption of his own narrative. Ultimately, the song conveys feelings of confusion, frustration, and perhaps even a touch of vengeful amusement at this complete takeover, urging listeners to embrace an existence free from demands and surprises.
