Shockwave
Riding the Shockwave: Life's Turbulence and the Battle Within
Lyrics
What happens when the world stops spinning?
Contemplation of the consequences when the world stops its usual motion.
Is it the crash? Is it the fall?
Questioning whether the cessation is marked by a crash or a fall.
Heard about it since the beginning
Awareness of this phenomenon from the very beginning.
Before the now, before it all
Before the current moment, before everything.
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Expressing resilience and survival despite challenges.
Still breathin’, still breathin’
-Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
-Still breathin’
-Dead and alive at the same time
Existence in a state of paradox—simultaneously dead and alive.
I need a heartbeat, give me your heartbeat
Desire for a connection, a heartbeat symbolizing life.
I should’ve saw it comin’
Regret for not foreseeing a certain event.
I heard the sirens pulsing
Awareness of impending danger through sirens and physical sensations.
And felt the ground shakin’
-Shockwave
Introduction of the concept of a shockwave.
Ohh, yeah
Confirmation and emphasis on the shockwave's presence.
Can you feel it?
Invitation to sense the shockwave.
Wake up, get up
Command to awaken and respond to the shockwave.
Can you feel the shockwave?
Reiteration of feeling the shockwave.
Only the strong survive
Survival of the fittest, emphasizing strength in adversity.
Rise above it
Encouragement to rise above challenges and persevere.
Keep holdin’ on, holdin’ on
-Keep holdin’ on, holdin’
Continued emphasis on holding on despite difficulties.
If life is short am I living?
Reflection on the brevity of life and questioning the quality of one's existence.
Masking the pain a masquerade
Concealing emotional pain through a facade or disguise.
A prisoner with a one track mind
Feeling trapped with a narrow focus or perspective.
Up in the night fading away
Nighttime symbolism of fading away or losing significance.
Fade to black
Imagery of fading to darkness and a sense of impending decline.
The lights all vanish
-Hold on
-It’s all down from here
-Dead and alive at the same time
Reiteration of the paradox of simultaneous life and death.
I need a heartbeat, give me your heartbeat
Desire for a lifeline or connection, emphasizing the need for support.
I should’ve saw it comin’
Regret for not anticipating a situation.
I heard the sirens pulsing
Acknowledgment of danger through auditory and physical signals.
And felt the ground shakin’
-Shockwave
Reiteration of the central concept of a shockwave.
Can you feel it?
Asking if the listener can perceive the shockwave.
Wake up, get up
Encouragement to wake up and feel the impact of the shockwave.
Can you feel the shockwave?
-Only the strong survive
Emphasizing the survival of the strong in the face of challenges.
Rise above it
Encouragement to overcome difficulties and maintain resilience.
Keep holdin’ on, holdin’ on
-Keep holdin’ on
-Shockwave, yeah
Repetition and reinforcement of the concept of the shockwave.
Shockwave, yeah
-Shockwave, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Shockwave, yeah
-Shockwave, yeah
-Shockwave
Final mention of the shockwave.
