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.

Thirst
Paralysed Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Melting on the coat
Like the first glass of whiskey
Burning in the throat
Like you

The lyrics to Paralysed Age's song Thirst are both poetic and introspective. The opening lines, "like the first snow in winter melting on the coat," set the tone for the theme of change and transformation. Winter symbolizes a time of dormancy and stillness, the arrival of the first snow signifies novelty and transformation. As the snow melts and seeps into the fabric of one's coat, one is unable to resist the changes surrounding them.
The second set of lines, "like the first glass of whiskey burning in the throat," are metaphorical and add to the emotional depth of the lyrics. This line can either depict the numbing of pain through an alcoholic response or the burning neediness for something or someone new. The feelings evoked by the whiskey burning in the throat are similar to the intensity of an infatuation that can't be quenched. The song ends with the repetition of the title, "like you." This repetition leaves the message ambiguous, allowing the listener to interpret the words depending on their experiences.
Line by Line Meaning
Like the first snow in winter
Just as the first snowfall of winter melts and disappears on reaching the coat
Melting on the coat
The feelings of thirst are intense and overwhelming, just as the snow melts on the coat
Like the first glass of whiskey
The thirst is compared to the first glass of whiskey that stings and burns the throat
Burning in the throat
The throbbing and craving for something desired are compared to the burning sensation in a dry throat.
Like you
The thirst is compared to the longing and desire one feels for another person

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