Built around An absolute refusal to give in, give up, or back down no matter what stands in the way. Live Wire's voltage-cranked guitars carries the concept through hardcore-punk that rewards repeat listens. "You can beat me, bruise me, leave me flat" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs fierce, unyielding. 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]
They drew a line and said don't cross
I crossed it twice and wore the cost
They said sit down, I stood up tall
They built a wall, I climbed the wall
Every no became my fuel
Every rule became a rule to break
I am the thing that won't lie down
The fire that won't quit this town
[chorus]
No surrender, not today
No surrender, come what may
You can beat me, bruise me, leave me flat
I'll get up and I'll come right back
No surrender, hear me say
I will fight you every day
No surrender
[verse 2]
They tried to drown me in their doubt
But I learned to breathe with water in my mouth
They tried to bury me in dirt
But I'm the thing that grows from hurt
Every scar's a medal on my chest
Every wound just proves I'm blessed
With the stubbornness of a concrete wall
You can hit me but I will not fall
[chorus]
No surrender, not today
No surrender, come what may
You can beat me, bruise me, leave me flat
I'll get up and I'll come right back
No surrender, hear me say
I will fight you every day
No surrender
[bridge]
I was raised on refusal
Bred on the word no
But the no was always pointed out
Never in, so here I go
Again, again, again
Till the walls come tumbling down
[chorus]
No surrender, not today
No surrender, come what may
You can beat me, bruise me, leave me flat
I'll get up and I'll come right back
No surrender, no surrender
I will fight you every day
No surrender, no surrender
No surrender
