Paralyzed Lyrics

The anger, the pressure
You're choking down your words again
Feel the nerves set in
Unspoken frustration
They see right through you
Paper thin, like the ghost within

A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Breaking beneath the strain
I am paralyzed

The stare of a stranger
Is like a wound that bleeds again
Silent as the dead
The victim, the martyr
Like Daniel in the lion's den
Time and time again

A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Breaking beneath the strain
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed

A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Relentless mental trait?
What do you stand to gain?
Viewing life through such a narrow, fractured lens
We'll ensure you end up on the losing end
Breaking beneath the string
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed

What is the Meaning of Paralyzed?

Dream Theater explores the intense emotional and psychological struggles faced by individuals under immense pressure. The lyrics depict a person overwhelmed by anger, stress, and unspoken frustrations, feeling as if they are "paralyzed" and unable to escape their mental turmoil. The recurring imagery of pain, addiction to a relentless cycle, and the sense of being scrutinized or judged by others convey a deep sense of vulnerability and helplessness. The metaphor of viewing life through a "narrow, fractured lens" suggests a distorted perception that leads to inevitable defeat. This powerful narrative resonates with anyone who has felt trapped by their own emotions or circumstances. 🌀 #EmotionalStruggle #MentalHealth
