The music of Paralysed Age clearly has influences from the post-punk and the new wave era. Marked by this style, influenced by a lot of other genres, like folk and synthpop, Paralysed Age are searching for their own path to modern gothic wave, a sound with a morbid and melancholic character.
Their songs often deal with vampires, bats and other "creatures of the night". Descriptions of fears and nightmares, but also resumes of the night with dreams and hopes are the lyrical path of Paralysed Age. Also, the horror story-like songtexts contain sorrow with a touch of irony - as can also be seen with individuals such as Bram Stoker or Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar Allan Poe inspired much of the music by Paralysed Age.
On their album "Tragedia Nosferata" they were inspired by the Romanian symbolist poet, the "damned" George Bacovia, using one of his poems for one of their song-lyrics.

Paralysed Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And time to pray
Move close to me
And hear what I say
It's torture time
My little child
So follow me
Into the night
Let me drag you down
Let me kiss your neck
Please don't be afraid
I'll show you things you won't forget
No it's too late
I bite I suck I emptied you
There's no escape
You have to follow me in to
Into the empire of the vampire
Where dreams turn into fright
And to a land called Transylvania
Where life begins at night, begins at night
A flood of blood
Is rushing over
The dead are on
Their way to nowhere
You try to hide
You try to run
But this nightmare
Now has just begun!
The lyrics of Paralysed Age's song "Bloodsucker 2000" tell the story of a vampire who invites his victim to dance and pray with him. He convinces the victim to follow him into the night, promising to show them things they won't forget. As the vampire bites and sucks on the victim's neck, it's too late for the victim to escape. They are now part of the vampire's undead empire. The song vividly describes the horror of being trapped by the vampire and the realization that the victim's life has begun to ebb away.

on The Grave Shall Be Forever
The grave shall be forever, two fallen flames, still glow on and on,
illumination, and a strange desire, a blossoms for lovers, a lost and the gone,
The grave, shall be forever, The odor ,of heaven again,
The grave, shall be forever ,again, the fate is upon us, the undead has come,
Facing the love, just now or never, my love still glows, to be silent, forever~
The grave, shall be forever, again, hostile and warm, Farewell to the pain,
The grave, shall be forever, The odor, of heaven again,
The grave, shall be forever, again, the fate is upon us, the undead has come,
The grave, shall be forever, two fallen flames, still glow on and on,
illumination, and a strange desire, a blossoms for lovers, a lost and the gone,
A lost and the gone,
A lost and the gone,
A lost, and the gone.............
