Paralyse
Polarheart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me know if we're off
Let me know
I'm sitting here in the middle of the road,
With my clothes on my back, wondering where I'm gonna go
Thrown to the ground not a lover but a girl,
I've been thrown by the wayside,
Got dragged out by the riptide
Take me back to the daylight
I know now what it is to
Sink so low that you can't move,
I've been paralysed by you
I've been paralysed by you
Let me know what to do
Is it all gone for you
Let me know
Let me know what to do
Is it all gone for you
Let me know
I'm sitting here I got nothing but my name
Got a bag full of ash and a pocket full of shame
Head to the floor send a wish up to the sky but
I'm waking up to nothing and I have to wonder why
The song "Paralyse" by Polarheart is a song about feeling lost, alone and uncertain about the future. The repetition of "Let me know" throughout the song represents the singer's longing for guidance and direction. The opening lines of "Let me know if we're on, Let me know if we're off" shows the singer's desire for a clear path. She feels like she is standing in the middle of the road, with no idea which way to turn.
The second verse describes her as a girl who was tossed down, not by a lover but by the world. She has been left on the side of the road and is struggling to stand up again. She is struggling with the feeling of being thrown by the wayside and is looking for someone to save her.
The chorus talks about the sinking feeling of being so low that you can't move. The singer is paralyzed by someone, a situation or life in general, and she can't seem to find the strength to move forward. She longs for the daylight, a metaphor for hope and clarity. In the end, the singer is left with nothing but her name and a bag full of ash, wondering why she woke up to nothing.

I'm sitting here in the middle of the road,
Feeling lost and stranded
With my clothes on my back, wondering where I'm gonna go
Having nothing left and no direction in life
Thrown to the ground not a lover but a girl,
Feeling objectified and not valued as a person
Looking back at the days when I didn't know the world
Seeing how naive and innocent she was in the past
I've been thrown by the wayside,
Feeling abandoned and disregarded
Got dragged out by the riptide
Being pulled under by powerful emotions
Take me back to the daylight
Wishing for a return to happier times
I know now what it is to
Having gained knowledge and experience
Sink so low that you can't move,
Feeling depressed and helpless
I've been paralysed by you
Feeling unable to move on from the relationship or person
Let me know what to do
Seeking guidance and direction
Is it all gone for you
Wondering if the other person has truly moved on
I’m sitting here I got nothing but my name
Feeling stripped of everything else
Got a bag full of ash and a pocket full of shame
Feeling burdened by regret and guilt
Head to the floor send a wish up to the sky but
Praying for a better outcome
I’m waking up to nothing and I have to wonder why
Feeling empty and alone, questioning what went wrong
