Paralysis
Sara Noxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Psychic desolution for paralysing crowd
Plastic education - invialable proud
Psychic violation to paralyse the crowd
Fragile liberation - like deadly hide-and-seek
Useless meditation - we`re only nature`s freak
Go down by desolation, go down by prejudice
Simple toleration - all what I ever miss
Go to pieces everytime like a bottle of champagne
Everything you think to love - so noxxious for your brain
Go to pieces everytime like a bottle of champagne
Coldness of world is awaken my face
With endearing love and a frigid kiss
If I need you sometime to publish the end of my days
To compel my devotion now
To blur the shining of my soul
Caustic evolution - like deadly hide-and-seek
Psychic desolution - we`re only nature`s freak
If I need you sometime to publish the end of my days
To compel my devotion now
To blur the shining of my soul
The lyrics of the song “Paralysis” by Sara Noxx depicts the internal struggle of an individual dealing with disillusionment, isolation, and a lack of purpose. The usage of imageries such as “caustic elocution”, “psychic violation”, and “fragile liberation” illustrates the extent of the singer’s emotional turmoil. The distortion of reality is amplified by the toxic environment which serves to suppress the singer’s sense of individuality, leading to feelings of entrapment and an inability to fulfil one’s desires. The line “Useless meditation - we`re only nature`s freak” is also indicative of the nihilism expressed in the song.
The chorus of the song serves to emphasise the idea of emotional disintegration and the futility of one’s aspirations. The metaphorical comparison of an individual to a bottle of champagne serves to highlight their inherent fragility and susceptibility to being broken by the harsh realities of the world. The line “Coldness of world is awaken my face” reveals the bitter nature of the world that the singer inhabits, contrasting the idea of endearing love with a frigid kiss.
Overall, the song explores themes of disillusionment, isolation, and existential nihilism, with the singer’s voice serving as a plea for a sense of meaning and purpose in their life.
