In physics, radiation is a process in which energetic particles or energetic waves travel through a medium or space. Two types of radiation are commonly differentiated in the way they interact with normal chemical matter: ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The word radiation is often colloquially used in reference to ionizing radiation (i.e., radiation having sufficient energy to ionize an atom), but the term radiation may correctly also refer to non-ionizing radiation (e.g., radio waves, heat or visible light). The particles or waves radiate (i.e., travel outward in all directions) from a source. This aspect leads to a system of measurements and physical units that are applicable to all types of radiation.
Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation can be harmful to organisms and can result in changes to the natural environment. In general, however, ionizing radiation is far more harmful to living organisms per unit of energy deposited than non-ionizing radiation, since the ions that are produced by ionizing radiation, even at low radiation powers, have the potential to cause DNA damage. By contrast, most non-ionizing radiation is harmful to organisms only in proportion to the thermal energy deposited, and is conventionally considered harmless at low powers which do not produce significant temperature rise. Ultraviolet radiation in some aspects occupies a middle ground, in having some features of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Although nearly all of the ultraviolet spectrum of radiation is non-ionizing, at the same time ultraviolet radiation does far more damage to many molecules in biological systems than is accounted for by heating effects (an example is sunburn). These properties derive from ultraviolet's power to alter chemical bonds, even without having quite enough energy to ionize atoms.

Radiation
Gonna kill you, gonna kill you, yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah
You're sick, you're no one
You're nothing yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah
Burn 'em all one by one
Shoot them into planet sun
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
You're nothing, you're no one
You're nothing yeah
Nuke 'em all one by one
Shoot them into planet sun
You're sick
You're sick
You're sick
Radiation
Gonna kill you, gonna kill you, yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
You're sick, you're sick, you're sick, yeah!
Nuke 'em all one by one
The southeast wind is calling us to home
And the upper trail that's leading us along
A candle light, and a pound of dynamite
Is enough to ruin our sleep and keep us
Wakefull through the night
The radiation burns the skin
The radiation burns within
Time and time and time again
The northwest wind is bringing us the snow
A colder winter i have ever known
Bright white lights blind me when i close my eyes
And they won't leave me
They won't leave me
There's radiation in my tv set (it's realigning you)
I guess I know that but it hasn't got me yet
(How do you know?)
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
Disinformation on my tv set (it's reprogramming you)
They try, it's true but I can hear beyond the noise and see the truth
I know, I know, I know, I know
(How can you know?)
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know I know the difference somehow
If I was being rearranged
I'm sure if have been reprogrammed
Something somehow surely would seem strange
There's radiation
There's radiation in my tv set (it's realigning you)
I guess I know that but it hasn't got me yet
(You know it will)
Disinformation on my tv set (it's reprogramming you)

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know
(How do you know?)
I know, I know, I know, I know

The short wave matter
we can't see
those distant suns
what are they to me
the radiation
falling over me
we can't see
those distant suns
what are they to me
the radiation
falling over me
falling over me
The short wave matter
that we can't see
those distant suns
what are they to me
the radiation
falling over me
The short wave matter
we can't see
those distant suns
what are they to me
the radiation
The short wave matter

Everything we ever thought
we'd ever want, me and you
well it just came through
it just came true
Everything we ever thought
we'd ever want, me and you
well it just came through
it just came true
Everything we ever thought
we'd ever want, me and you
well it just came through
it just came true
It just came true
Everything we ever thought
we'd ever want, me and you
well it just came through
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
I'll lay it down
One time through
Gather round
Though this is a chore
So rich realize
I prefer poor advice
And showed her the door
This is your goodbye in case opportunity
Thought you were burning me down, but I'm finally free
(Chorus)
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
Oh the sun came up
Tell me, where'd I park?
We did it again
We had some fun, did some things, we got drunk
But I want it to end
'Cause I only give in when I get the need
I'm only coming around 'cause I get to leave
(Chorus)
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
Can't read, I can't see
Thinking 'bout the mess that you're in
Some things I couldn't see
What about the rest of you?
Well you're under my skin
But I can't let you in
Though you don't see scars
That's exactly what they are baby
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
Baby baby, you're never gonna hurt me
(Chorus)
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
Yes I am, I gotta get out
If you miss me, if you miss me, if you miss me

Pull back my skin,
Look Deep within,
Transparent grins,
The more you Kill Me.
Just see how it is,
Just see how it really is.
Theres radiation in my hands,
Can't you see im going mad,
See the colourof my skin,
Turning blue as i breathe in,
Theres radiation in my head.
Suffer for life,
My soul divides,
I'm reaching High,
But no-one see's me.
Just see how it is,
Just see how it really is.
Get it out, Get it out, Get it out.
Trapped in my shell,
My fingers melt,
All by myself,
I'm all by myself.
Just seehow it is,
Just see how it really is.
Radiation....Radiation.
You hear me breath a little more,
And see me walk into a storm,
The more you give yourself away,
Too much radiation
You know it gets in your mind
Too much information
You know that it´s undefined
Got no concentration
You know that your in your bed
Too much punctuation
You know that it´s in your head
You gotta get back to the place that you can believe in
You gotta get back to the place that you know you´re gonna see your friends again
You gotta get back to the place that you can be free in
You gotta get back to the place that you know you´re gonna see your friends again
Too many distractions
You know that you can´t stand still
Too many reactions
You know that you have no will
You gotta get back to the place that you can believe in
You gotta get back to the place that you know you´re gonna see your friends again
You gotta get back to the place that you can be free in
You gotta get back to the place that you know you´re gonna see your friends again
Reversed time climb up the side of mystery
holding tight the key to nowhereland the long time promise
at the beginning
the origin
aren't we supposed to be bound
aren't we prepared to re-cloned
the universe we imagine
the memory we left behind
the time we drain the time we kill
what's the need for a better life tell me
from where you are radiant star
light the way of those who search of those who stay
from where you are radiant star
light the way of those who search of those who pray here
spend a day to wonder
have a night to remember
beyond the pain that each day gives
rising the joy that you perceive
through blurry thoughts you do conceive
a strong passion that won't deceive
the force you own needs no shelter
nowhere should be the place that you fear
nowhere should be the place that you fear
from where you are radiant star
light the way of those who search of those who stay
from where you are radiant star
