Backstory:
Shocking Lesson was born in the basements and garages of a small Midwestern town, where the loud echoes of their music practice sessions would disturb the quiet neighborhood. The band members, consisting of high school friends – Jaxon (vocalist), Benny (lead guitarist), Kenny (drummer), and Terry (bass guitarist) – combined their shared love for music and their rebellious spirits to establish a band that eventually won the hearts of many. Named after a peculiar incident in high school when the band members received an electric shock from touching their music instruments simultaneously, Shocking Lesson quickly became a local sensation. Their music journey started from a high school talent show, leading them to big stages and giant music festivals, leaving their audiences enthralled and wanting more.

[G]Underneath the [D]starry sky, [Em]we’re caught up in the [C]midnight ride
[G]Chasing shadows [D]in the dark, [Em]carrying the [C]wildfire spark
Chorus:
[Am]Shadows grow and [G]echoes fade, [D]but our dreams will never [C]abrade
[Am]Chasing midnight [G]shadows, we’ll [D]run till the dawn [C]breaks
Verse 2:
[G]Through city lights [D]and empty roads, [Em]carrying our [C]unspoken odes
[G]Lost in the rhythm, [D]found in the sound, [Em]we’re chasing shadows [C]that can’t be found
Chorus:
[Am]Shadows twist and [G]lights collide, [D]but our hope will never [C]subside
[Am]Chasing midnight [G]shadows, under the [D]moon’s silver [C]tide

[G]We’re chasing dreams and [D]shadows alike
[Em]In the melody of the [C]night, we’ll take flight
Chorus:
[Am]Chasing midnight [G]shadows, under the [D]star’s silver [C]light
[Am]In the shadow’s [G]dance, we’ll [D]find our respite [C]tonight
