1) Sasha, … Read Full Bio ↴There are currently several artists using the name Sasha:
1) Sasha, born Alexander Coe (born September 4, 1969), is a Welsh DJ and record producer. Late Night Tales Presents Sasha: Scene Delete was released in April 2016. He is also known for partnering with English DJ, John Digweed, as Sasha + Digweed. The pair released several mix albums together, including the Northern Exposure series (released between 1996 and 2001). They also released one of the all time best selling mix albums, The Renaissance Mix Collection part 1, in 1994. Sasha also released two Global Underground solo mix CDs, San Francisco (GU009) and Ibiza (GU013), which are considered classics of the progressive house genre.
In 2002 he released his first solo LP, Airdrawndagger, a result of collaboration with Charlie May and Junkie XL, the album also featured a guest appearance from James Holden. The album enjoyed excellent reviews upon its release, and recently a wave of quality remixes by various producers has re-kindled interest in Sasha's production work. 2004 saw the release of Involver, his third in the Global Underground series. This mix album differed from previous albums in that each track was completely reproduced in the studio, as opposed to simply being blended together.
More recently, in 2005, Sasha began moving away from mixing with records and CDs in favor of a new approach with computer software and a dedicated controller for his live sets. With the sequencing/mixing software Ableton Live and a custom controller that Sasha helped to design, he is able to use mixing techniques that are difficult or impossible with conventional methods, including mixing together many sources at once, adjusting pitch and tempo of sources independently, and cutting up and rearranging songs. His most recent mixed CD, Fundacion, was recorded using the Ableton Live software and the album bears the name of his monthly residency nights in both New York and Los Angeles.

Paralyzed
Sasha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to do everything I wanted to
I don't know when, I don't know why
But somewhere I must have lost that guy I knew
With a drink or two
Any bad excuse would do
I would like to quit my job, take a trip around the world
I would do so many things if I just could break the ice
But I'm paralyzed
Where will I be in twenty years
If I cannot change, I just don't wanna know
The days go by, I don't know why
But it's kinda hard to rearrange your life
When your fear's your gloom
Any bad excuse will do
I would like to dive for pearls, but the water's way too deep
I would like to live my dream, but I cannot even sleep
I would like to taste the rain somewhere close to Paradise
But I'm paralyzed
I would like to play guitar, but it's always out of tune
I would like to write a song, but I cannot find a rhyme
I would do so many things; I just have to break the ice
But I'm paralyzed
I used to laugh, I used to cry
I don't know when, I don't know why
Where will I be in twenty years
I don't know, I don't know
