Earthquake
Showtek & Justin Prime ft. Matthew Koma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't even know if it's yours or mine,
Projected by your fear inside
But I could see the light
Yey, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake, quake
Show us what you got,
when the motherf-cking beat drops
Make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake, quake
You and I we're honesty
The day in Taipei intensity
It's me against you, and
It's you against me
It's so hard to breath
Yey, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake
Shake, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake
Rockin' an earthquake
Rockin' an earthquake
Show us what you got,
when the motherf-cking beat drops
We can make the ground shake
Rockin' an earthquake

Despite the difficulties they face, they seem determined to stay together and create a passionate, intense bond, which the earthquake referenced in the chorus symbolizes.
The song's chorus delivers an infectious hook, with the lyrics "We can make the ground shake, rockin' an earthquake," speaking to the explosive passion shared by the two lovers. The lyrics suggest that when they come together, their connection is so powerful that it has the potential to move mountains. The overall message of the song is one of perseverance in the face of emotional instability, with the two protagonists determined to weather the storm and remain together.
