I´m watching shadows in front of me...
In Skypho's song "Paranoid," these opening lyrics set the tone for a haunting and eerie atmosphere. The singer is seemingly alone, yet is feeling watched and pursued by unknown forces. The mention of shadows adds to the unsettling nature of the situation, as shadows are often associated with darkness and the unknown. The line "I close the door, nobody's there" could also be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's own mind - they are shutting out the outside world, yet their thoughts and fears are still present and overwhelming.
As the song progresses, the paranoia intensifies, with lyrics like "Every little noise gets me paralyzed" and "I feel like they're watching my every move." The singer's fear is palpable and relatable, as many people have experienced moments of intense paranoia and anxiety. The repetition of the phrase "I'm paranoid" further emphasizes the all-consuming nature of the singer's fear.
