It's not about an apocalypse, it's about spiritual awakening. The spiritual awakening process sparks the activation of awareness and once someone have completed their spiritual awakening and they go and look back on their life before the awakening began they may see how much they were just existing in robot mode, a spiritual awakening brings them out of this robot mode and in to awareness mode which wakes them up and they start to exist with a new and positive lease of life.
December 21, 2012 marks Earth’s entrance into a new stage in the evolution of human consciousness. There is a mass of "awakenings" occurring seen in highly sensitive creative individuals. They can be very outspoken and tend to go against the grain of main society and have always felt like outcasts. They are unwilling to conform to societies standards if it isn’t congruent with the way they believe things should be done. While they may attempt to go with the flow, they cannot suppress how against the “system” they really are, and simply cannot and will not accept things that do not make sense to them.
Break down:
I'm waking up to ash and dust,
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust,
I'm breathing in, the chemicals.
(This is in regards to the fluoride, Monsanto, GMO's etc. in our bodies. Fluoride for example calcifies the pineal gland in our brain "our third eye", blocking our path to higher consciousness)
I'm breaking in, shaping up, checking out on the prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse, whoa.
(Not apocalypse end of world, but end of old world consciousness//beliefs. Starting to "wake up" entering a stage of higher consciousness, the "New Age")
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones.
Enough to make my systems blow.
(Symptoms of "awakening")
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
(New Age: A movement drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual and metaphysical traditions and infusing them with influences from self-help and motivational psychology, holistic health, parapsychology, consciousness research and quantum physics)
Whoa, whoa, radioactive, radioactive.
Whoa, whoa, radioactive, radioactive.
(Radioactivity has everything to do with energy.According to quantum physics, we are part of a vast, invisible field of energy, which contains all possible realities and responds to our thoughts and our feelings. Related to The Law of Attraction, The Law of Vibration, each frequency of vibration has a certain radiation )
I raise my flags, don my clothes,
It's a revolution I suppose.
We'll paint it red, to fit right in, whoa.
(Realizing all the awakenings lately, in songs, media, movies, joining the new age revolution)
I'm breaking in, shaping up, checking out on the prison bus.

Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Whoa, whoa, radioactive, radioactive.
Whoa, whoa, radioactive, radioactive.
All systems go, sun hasn't died.
Deep in my bones, straight from inside.
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones.
Enough to make my systems blow.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.

Hate to break it to you jenpen114, but this interpretation is based on unscientific dillusions that the members of Imagine Dragons don't subscribe to. It's actually about a communist revolution

I think your right about the awakening or spiritual emergence. Further I would add that term 'Radioactive' in the context of the song may refer a new consciousness about songs on the radio as opposed anything nuclear and/or being suddenly 'wired up' to the Universe. Also, the 'chemicals' he is breathing in may be drug related rather than pollutant as there is more of an eager spin and tone regarding these ' chemicals' and not negative (which may have been taken before the 'awakening'....or not, as you mentioned there can be chemicals triggered in the brain due to...

'Welcome to the New Age!" is an acknowledgement of this newly emergent state of being and a new order. There may be neo-Marxist aspects (we'll paint it red, to fit right in) - and I don't think he's necessarily that comfortable ( a sarcastic comment) or convinced about the political ramifications, but may be experiencing the awareness, consciousness and freedom but also find it 'apocalyptic'.
I originally agreed this song was about spiritual awakening, i.e. enlightenment. But I've just re-read it and now I'm not so sure. "I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust"... is it possible the narrator is actually a robot, and "the new age" refers to the singularity, or the replacement of biological creatures by silicon-based ones? What's more likely to survive a true apocalypse: flesh and blood, or mechanicals? "Enough to make my systems blow" makes a lot more sense for an android than for a human being.

@kathudson Your interpenetration truly sent chills throughout my entire body; chills of thankful and enlivened origin. This is because every single thing you said accurately described myself, in whole. It brings a feeling over me that says, "Someone else gets it." People like you (presumably) and I will be at the forefront of transitioning our civilization, as a whole, into this new, and frankly inevitable Age of Aquarius. Change is now, my fellow human beings. Welcome to the New Age.

@kathudson I agree. I never thought of it having something to do with the New Age, but I when I just listened to the song today, the thought of GMO's and chem trails (I'm breathing, the chemicals) was accurate. I like your interpretation because 2013 is the year I started to fall away from the christian faith and in 2014 I was questioning God and if God exists. 2015 came, and I have an understanding to life, the poetry of life, and such. Things I didn't know back when. I've learned not to believe everything I read unless I can...

This world is full of half truths.
Sorry, but that stuff about chemicals is complete nonsense. Chemtrails are a paranoid fantasy, GMO's have been proven in THOUSANDS of studies to be perfectly safe, and Fluoride does absolutely NOTHING to your pineal gland, which is no more a "third eye" than your big toe is. And quantum physics says NONE of the things you claim it says. Please, stop getting your philosophy from Deepak Chopra and YouTube.
