Built around Growing up in a city that suffocates you, breathing in exhaust and expectations and refusing to choke. Live Wire's voltage-cranked guitars carries the concept through punk-rock that rewards repeat listens. "Lungs full of concrete before I could exhale" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs gritty, angry. 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]
Born between the highway and the rail
Lungs full of concrete before I could exhale
The skyline was my crib, the traffic was my song
I learned to breathe the poison and stay strong
They paved the playground and they paved the park
Left us nothing but the after-dark
Alleyways and fire escapes for fun
Concrete kids beneath a concrete sun
[chorus]
Concrete lungs but I'm still breathing
Concrete lungs and I'm not leaving
You can choke the sky and block the view
But you can't stop me from coming through
Concrete lungs, I was built for this
[verse 2]
Every building is a monument to greed
Every corner is a mouth that wants to feed
On the ones too small to fight the rent
On the backs already broke and bent
But we are stubborn like the weeds that grow
Through the sidewalk cracks, row by row
You can pour the concrete thick and deep
But something underneath refuses sleep
[chorus]
Concrete lungs but I'm still breathing
Concrete lungs and I'm not leaving
You can choke the sky and block the view
But you can't stop me from coming through
Concrete lungs, I was built for this
[bridge]
I don't need clean air to have a voice
I don't need permission to make noise
Every exhaust-stained breath I take
Is proof that I refuse to break
You made us hard, you made us rough
Congratulations, we're tough enough
[chorus]
Concrete lungs but I'm still breathing
Concrete lungs and I'm not leaving
You can choke the sky and block the view
But you can't stop me from coming through
Concrete lungs, concrete lungs
I was built for this, I was built for this
