“Paralysis” is the 13th and final track of Young the Giant’s sophomore album, Mind Over Matter.
The powerful, synth-driven song closes the album focused on one of the album’s recurring themes, mental paralysis.
[Verse 1]
Paralyzed, on the floor again
Lately I've been fiending
Cause it's over, I'm stupid
Living a lie on my own, so alone
You're calling consistently
But I'm paralyzed on the floor far from you
[Chorus]
And lately I've been thinking
I'm not feeling anything at all
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster, my disaster
[Verse 2]
Lay the lights down low
God only knows I give up to the fire
You didn't always come up from the water
I only thought you were crying from laughter
Saving myself from the mouth of a monster
Paralyzed on the floor again
Baby I've been fiending
[Chorus]
And lately I've been thinking
I'm not feeling anything at all
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster, my disaster
[Chorus 2]
Paralyzed on the floor
And lately I've been feeling
I'm not thinking anything at all
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster, my disaster
[Outro x2]
God only knows I give up to the fire
You didn't always come up from the water
I only thought you were crying from laughter
Saving myself from the mouth of a monster
