Paralyzed
Mystery Skull Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're over
I feel so nervous
And when we kiss
I can't explain
It's superhuman
The truth is
Mmmmm
You got me hypnotized.

I'm feeling so obsessed with you.
You've left me paralyzed.
And now I'm stuck,
You've got me stuck.
Hmmm—uh
I never knew
Just what I wanted.
I still don't know,
it's all missing.
You're picking up
On what I started

And the truth is.
You've got me hypnotized,
I'm feeling so obsessed with you.
You left me paralyzed.
And now I'm stuck,
You've got me stuck.
You've got me hypnotized,
I'm feeling so obsessed with you
You left me paralyzed.
And now I'm stuck,
You've got me stuck

Hmmmm—ooooh.
Fuck it.
