Paranoid
Eisenfunk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't exist, you believe in me
I'm with you, only you can see me
Do you feel me right behind you?
My breath touches you silently
I'm smelling the andrenaline deep in your blood
I'm your new contemporary and making you lose your courage
One two three four now I'm standing right behind you
Five six seven eight I've got something for you
A cold hand on your sholder I make you shiver
Be afraid, that turns me on
Your fear, it's your life!
One two three four now I'm standing right behind you
Five six seven eight I've got something for you
A cold hand on your sholder I make you shiver
Be afraid, that turns me on
Your fear, it's paranoid!
Paranoid!
My existence is pure fear, I'm taking your air
I'm your creation, the fantasy, the evil that you fear
I'm smelling the adrenaline deep in your blood
I'm your new contemporary and making you lose your courage
The song "Paranoid" by Eisenfunk is a dark and eerie track that embodies the feeling of fear and paranoia that someone may experience when feeling like they are being watched or pursued. In the first verse, the lyrics describe an entity that doesn't exist in reality but only in the imagination of the person it's stalking. The lyrics suggest that the entity is right behind them, and they only they can feel its presence. The entity smells the adrenaline in their blood and is making them lose their courage. The verses are repetitive and hypnotic, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the song.
The chorus is a repeated chant of the word "paranoid," which emphasizes the theme of fear and paranoia. The repetition gives the impression of being trapped in a sort of loop, and the implication is that the fear and paranoia will not go away. The second verse continues the same themes of fear and stalking but adds that the existence of the entity is nothing but fear. It's a creation of the imagination, a fantasy, and the embodiment of the evil that the person fears.
Overall, the song's lyrics are suggestive of being stalked, pursued, and trapped in a cycle of fear and paranoia. The lyrics capture the feeling of being paranoid and experiencing the fear that comes with being pursued by something unknown.

why did i not realize they were a german band -_- im an idiot. but these guys are amazing!
@Krobeles
Well, i wouldn't say that they dont say it at all. There is SOME partically decent music comming out of the states every now and again. I do agree that it might have something to do with the country not having an aweful lot of history on which to draw. Germany has a rich history of conquest and polical shit, both for the good and bad. I think thats what enables them to make such amazing music these days.
