In January 2022 it was revealed that the band had gotten back together with the original She Watched the Sky line-up, minus Kyle Simmons. The current band's line up is: Jordan Blake (lead vocals), Nick Miller (guitar), Joey Wilson (guitar), Brian White (bass & backup vocals), and Cory La Quay (drums).
However, on February 16, 2022, a new song, Dead Serious, was released by former vocalist Michael "Jag" Jagmin under the A Skylit Drive name, thus creating two separate versions of the band. One being the original lineup, and the other led by Jag.
Michael "Jag" Jagmin filed a lawsuit against the original members of the band for infringement on the name on March 15, 2022, and on April 3, 2022 Jagmin announced two new members joining him and Jon Kintz in his ASD lineup: drummer Casey "KC" Marotta and guitarist/vocalist Louie Caycoya.
On April 23, 2022, the original lineup announced that moving forward, they would preform as "ASD" for the foreseeable future, with Jag's lineup holding the rights to the "A Skylit Drive" name.
on May 1st, 2023, original ASD vocalist Jordan Blake would pass away
Shock My Heart
A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It follows you to your grave
All I hear is the silence
Of my heartbeat
It's like I'm falling from a rooftop waiting till the doctors arrive
Shock to my heart
I'm on the edge of my last breath. Reaching for the stars in the sky
Shock to my heart
Shock to my heart
It's biochemical defense
Coursing all through my veins
All I hear is the silence
of my heartbeat
It's like I'm falling from a rooftop waiting till the doctors arrive
Shock to my heart
I'm on the edge of my last breath. Reaching for the stars in the sky
Give me a reason to try
Shock to my heart
Shock to my heart
Shock to my heart
Shock to my heart
Shock to my heart
It's like I'm falling from a rooftop waiting till the doctors arrive
I'm on the edge of my last breath. Reaching for the stars in the sky
Give me a reason to try
Falling from a rooftop. Falling from a rooftop
Shock my heart
It's like I'm falling from a rooftop waiting till the doctors arrive
Shock to my heart
I'm on the edge of my last breath. Reaching for the stars in the sky
Give me a reason to try
It's like I'm falling from a rooftop waiting till the doctors arrive
Shock to my heart
I'm on the edge of my last breath. Reaching for the stars in the sky
Give me a reason to try
Shock to my heart
Shock to my heart
Shock to my heart
At a surface level, the lyrics to A Skylit Drive's "Shock My Heart" convey a sense of violence, silence, and desperation. The first two lines, "All I see is the violence, it follows you to your grave. All I hear is the silence, of my heartbeat," suggest a world filled with chaos and aggression. The violence in this context could be both literal and metaphorical, representing the struggles and conflicts one faces throughout their life. The silence of the heartbeat reflects a sense of isolation and disconnection from oneself and others.
The repeated phrase "Shock to my heart" throughout the song signifies a sudden and intense jolt that disrupts the singer's emotional and physical state. It implies a significant event or revelation that prompts a profound reaction. Falling from a rooftop waiting for the doctors to arrive represents a situation of imminent danger and a desperate need for help. It symbolizes a feeling of being on the edge, at the brink of collapse or even death. The mention of reaching for the stars in the sky reflects a desire for something greater, for hope and purpose amidst the chaos.
The lines "It's biochemical defense, coursing all through my veins" can be interpreted as the instinctual survival mechanisms that kick in when faced with stress or threatening situations. This defense mechanism can manifest in various ways, such as heightened adrenaline or the release of other chemicals in the body. The emphasis on the silence of the heartbeat suggests a numbing effect, where one feels detached from their emotions in order to protect themselves.
The overall theme of the song seems to revolve around the struggle to find meaning and motivation in a world filled with violence and silence. The singer is experiencing a shock to their heart, a transformative event that forces them to confront their existence and search for reasons to continue trying. It's a plea for something to awaken their spirit and give them the strength to persevere. "Shock to my heart, shock to my heart" serves as a cathartic expression of the intense emotions and the desire to break free from the numbness and despair.
In summary, "Shock My Heart" delves into the unsettling nature of a violent and silent world, and the singer's desperate quest for meaning and purpose. It portrays the struggle to find hope and the desire for a transformative event to awaken their spirit. The lyrics capture the intensity of emotions, invoking imagery of falling from a rooftop and the reliance on doctors for help. Ultimately, it's a plea for something to break through the numbness and give the singer a reason to keep trying.
