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.

Waiting For You
Paralysed Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So lonely and scared
I'm torturing my mind
All contours are blurred
I'm searching for my melody
In the days of the rain
I'm living in this elegy
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
Perceiving your ghost
The stillness my friend
The darkness my host
I'm searching for my melody
In the days of the rain
I'm living in this elegy
And in my wailing refrain
I'm waiting for you
The lyrics to Paralysed Age's "Waiting for You" express a profound sense of loneliness and desperation, as the singer waits for someone who may never come. The opening lines set the tone for the entire song, as we are given a glimpse into the singer's emotional state. They are lonely and scared, tortured by their own thoughts and unable to see things clearly.
The second verse continues in this vein, as the singer speaks of searching for their melody in the days of the rain. This poetic language suggests that they are struggling to find meaning or inspiration in their life, and that they are surrounded by darkness and despair. The elegy they are living in may refer to the mournful tone of the song itself, which is slow and mournful.
Throughout the song, the singer's refrain is that they are waiting for someone, but it is unclear who this person is or why they are so important. Perhaps they are waiting for a lover who has left them, or waiting for a friend who has betrayed them. Regardless, the sense of longing and hopelessness is palpable in these lyrics, and they capture the universal experience of waiting for something that may never come.

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