Built around The tremors that continue long after something earth-shattering has happened. Live Wire's voltage-cranked guitars carries the concept through hard-rock that rewards repeat listens. "But I'm the aftershock that won't calm down" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs seismic, powerful. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
The ground opened up and swallowed everything
Left me standing on the edge of the ring
The dust is settling but the walls still shake
Every foundation's got a fault that'll break
You hit me like a magnitude unknown
Shook me down to the marrow of my bones
[chorus]
Aftershock, I'm still shaking
Aftershock, still breaking ground
You were the earthquake
But I'm the aftershock that won't calm down
After, aftershock
I won't calm down
[verse 2]
They measured it on every scale they've got
Said the epicenter was my parking lot
Where you stood and said we're done for good
Split the asphalt right where I stood
Now every little tremor feels like you
A reminder of what the ground can do
[chorus]
Aftershock, I'm still shaking
Aftershock, still breaking ground
You were the earthquake
But I'm the aftershock that won't calm down
After, aftershock
I won't calm down
[bridge]
But earthquakes build new mountains
And the cracks let in new light
So shake me to the core again
I'll stand up every time
I am the thing that trembles
But I am still on my feet
[chorus]
Aftershock, I'm still shaking
Aftershock, still breaking ground
You were the earthquake
But I'm the aftershock that won't calm down
Aftershock, aftershock
I will not calm down
I won't calm down
