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.

Get Faster Reach Devil
Paralysed Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Must be murder and love at the same time
I've been caged by the dead of night
I'm smelling blood and awake for the second time
The deepest glance upon your face
I'm spellbound by your kiss
Was never touched like this before
My blood runs faster into the cold
I'm nearly dead but I will rise again
The deepest glance upon your face
I'm spellbound by your kiss
Get faster
Reach devil
in 2-3:
The lyrics to Paralysed Age's song "Get Faster Reach Devil" speak of a love that is simultaneously exciting and dangerous. The singer dances with their lover's "darkened soul" and feels the thrill of "murder and love at the same time." But they also feel trapped by their passion, caged by the "dead of night." Despite this, they are aroused by the scent of blood and the prospect of rising again after what seems to be a near-death experience.
The chorus urges the listener to "Get faster/ Reach devil," suggesting that they should push themselves to the limit and embrace whatever risks come with pursuing their desires. The second verse repeats many of the same themes as the first, emphasizing the singer's enchantment with their lover's face and kiss.
Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of intense, almost obsessive infatuation, tempered by an awareness of the risks involved in giving in to such powerful emotions.

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.............
