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.

End Of The World
Paralysed Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spinning like the sun
I think my eyes go down
Drowning like the sun
Devoured by the wine-red sea
The dark blood
The lyrics to Paralysed Age's song End of the World are a reflection of the emotional state of the singer. The opening lines, "I think my eyes go round, spinning like the sun, I think my eyes go down, drowning like the sun" show the singer's disorientation and confusion. The comparison of the eyes to the sun implies that the singer is experiencing a catastrophic event that is as powerful as the sun itself.
The next lines, "Devoured by the wine-red sea, the dark blood" conveys a sense of doom and inevitable death. The wine-red sea symbolizes blood, which has devoured the singer, and the darkness is a metaphor for the end of the world. The singer's physical and mental state is consumed by the darkness and blood, which implies that they are facing the end of the world as they know it.
The phrase "the end of the world" is repeated throughout the song, underscoring the gravity of the situation. This phrase is further emphasized when placed in the context of the entire song, which portrays a sense of impending doom and a realization of one's own mortality. The overall tone of the song is introspective and nihilistic, as it grapples with the end of existence.
