44 Years by The Silken Serpent

[Verse 1]
They said video killed the radio star, but baby, you lit up every heart by far. From neon dreams to ripped-up jeans, you taught us what rebellion means. Late-night love and downtown fights, the world was ours in flashing lights. You were the spark, the static scream, the broken glass inside the dream.
[Pre-Chorus]
From the basement to the stage, every decade turned a page. We were wild, we were free, and we lived on your frequency.
[Chorus]
Raise your lighters high —For forty-four years we flew too high to die. Music, memories, and madness collide, MTV — you were the heartbeat of our ride. The screen fades to black, but we’ll never turn our volume down. You made the world loud, you made us proud.
[Verse 2]
From Madonna’s lace to Cobain’s pain, you painted fire in the pouring rain.TRL lines, confessions live, you made the awkward kids survive. Reality crashed, and fame got cheap, but the noise you cut six feet deep. You gave us faces, gave us names, then burned it all like rockstar flames.
[Pre-Chorus]
From vinyl dreams to streaming lies, we watched your halo digitise. But the spirit stayed, the pulse still played, in every mixtape ever made.
[Chorus]
Raise your lighters high —For forty-four years we flew too high to die. Music, memories, and madness collide, MTV — you were the heartbeat of our ride. Now the screen fades to black, but we’ll never turn our volume down. You made the world loud, you made us proud.
[Bridge]
You gave us shock, you gave us style, you made the sinners reconcile. From Headbanger’s Ball to Yo! MTV, you gave the lost kids somewhere to be. And when the world tuned out, you still played on —Now this last song’s yours, but the echo’s ours.
[Final Chorus]
Raise your lighters high —For forty-four years we kissed the sky. The madness ends, but the magic won’t die, MTV — forever amplified. Fade to static, fade to sound, but we’ll never turn the volume down. You were the noise, the youth, the crown —MTV, we’ll never shut you down.

ong live the vibe. Long live the wild. Long live MTV.
