Paralyzed
Sharon Doorson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As you start to make your way to me
No science can explain
The still kind of state I’m in
(Pre-)
Paralyzed, paralyzed
I think he’s got me paralyzed, paralyzed
I think he’s got me paralyzed, paralyzed
I’m way too thunderstruck
You haunted me on heart before
You’re taking me away
You’re walking by my side
You want it now I’m paralyzed, paralyzed
I’ve never had a feeling so strong
But I barely even know who you are
I’m so used to running
But I don’t think I’ll get there first
(Pre-)
Paralyzed, paralyzed
I think he’s got me paralyzed, paralyzed
Paralyzed, paralyzed
I think he’s got me paralyzed, paralyzed
I’m way too thunderstruck
You haunted me on heart before
You’re taking me away
You’re walking by my side
You want it now I’m paralyzed, paralyzed
Paralyzed, paralyzed
Paralyzed, paralyzed
Paralyzed, paralyzed
I’m way too thunderstruck
You haunted me on heart before
You’re taking me away
You’re walking by my side
You want it now I’m paralyzed, paralyzed
I’m way too thunderstruck
You want it now I’m paralyzed, paralyzed
The first verse of Sharon Doorson's song "Paralyzed" describes the feeling of being completely captivated by someone's presence. The singer's attraction to this person is palpable, and she describes feeling entranced by them, as if in a sort of trance. The use of the word "glowing" suggests that this person has a sort of aura around them, further emphasizing the idea of being under their spell. The line "no science can explain the still kind of state I'm in" indicates that the singer is unable to explain her own feelings and that she is overcome by them.
The chorus repeats the word "paralyzed" as a way of emphasizing the extent to which this person has affected the singer. She feels like she cannot move, as if all of her senses have been locked in the presence of this person. Despite barely knowing who this person is, the singer is completely taken by them, indicating that sometimes love and attraction don't need an explanation.
Overall, "Paralyzed" is a song about the inexplicable power of attraction, how it can render a person helpless and confused, and how sometimes we can't help who we fall for.

Does someone know what she sings in the chorus?
All these lyrics websites want me to believe she sings:
(Chorus x2)
