Angels & Airwaves - Paralyzed Lyrics






I wake to a fire in the realm
Little lion safe and sound
It's a wild life, so wild crazy
Can not tame the crowd

White feast in the hole your an MIA
A little hell, you gonna pay
You're a whore at home, the telephone
A king that's here to stay

Sleep
And awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep
And awaken to life, with your hands at your side-
Paralyzed

Out cold and regenerate the start
Little lion set your fire
Push away and go, in stereo
A tear will death depart

Nineteen with a wicked M-R-E
What a waste, a memory
Better study hard, and play the part
Another victim to the scene

Sleep
And awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep
And awaken to life, with your hands at your side-
Paralyzed

Its more of the same
A silly old shame
A dimmly lit grove
It will whither and go
I climb the light post
Illumanate the road
For miles away
So safely I lay

    I bet it would be really awkward if a disabled person loved this band and finally got to see the concert and tom says

    "I'd like to dedicate this one to that guy in the wheelchair:

    I would laugh really hard

  6. M.... A....

    The only complaints I have about dream walker album are the vocals are harder to hear.. the music is fuckin awesome though

  7. p.... ....

    The beginning of this song is amazing. Been playing this on repeat for months.

  8. R.... E....

    Cant wait to see this LIVE this Sept! Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. B.... S....

    You know what, if I went into a coma in 2004 and woke up now and someone put this song on with no info on who it was by and told me it was the new blink 182 single, I wouldn’t doubt them. Sounds more like blink 182 then blink does nowadays

  10. J.... C....

    Sounds like box car racer.... I'm here after hearing All System Go

  11. w.... ....

    I wake to a fire in the day
    A little lion safe and sound
    It's a wild life, so wild, crazy
    Cannot tame the crowd
    Like beast in the hole, you're MIA
    A little hell, you're gonna pay
    You're whole at home, the telephone
    The king that's here to say
    Sleep and awaking to life, for a hell of a ride
    Sleep and awaking to life,
    With your hands at your side, paralyzed
    Paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed
    Out cold and regenerate the start
    Little lion set your fire
    Push away and go, in stereo
    A tear will death depart
    Nineteen with a wicked M-R-E
    What a waste, a memory
    Better study hard, and play the part
    Be a victim to the scene
    Sleep and awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
    Sleep and awaken to life,
    With your hands at your side
    It's more the same, a silly old shame
    A dimly lit road, it will wither and go
    I climb the light post, illuminate the road
    For miles away, so safely on your way
    Sleep and awaking to life, for a hell of a ride
    Sleep and awaking to life, with your hands at your side
    Sleep and awaking to life, for a hell of a ride
    Sleep and awaking to life,
    With your hands at your side, paralyzed
    Paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed.

    0:34 MY EAR IS BANGING

  24. C.... w....

    I remember riding my bike freshman year hearing this song :) memories

  25. D.... ....

    The mastering is awful, but I still love this song. His lyrics should be a lot clearer, hell, everything should be clearer, but it's still a good song.

  26. T.... ....

    Always loved what ever these guys put out keep it coming !

  27. I.... R....

    How few we truly understand and feel you and all the work you do Tom.

  28. T.... W....

    2017!!!

  30. A.... L....

    This riff sound like ghost on the dance floor to me which is not a bad thing

  31. D.... G....

    that one 'LETS GO' in the beginning makes me wanna conquer planets

  32. M.... K....

    AVA > blink

  33. J.... L....

    so aint noboby gonna talk about the "i climb the light post" lyric...out of all the things he could've put in a song

  34. D.... G....

    This song was always on the radio as the backsound on Hail Rock charts, so I couldn't catch the lyrics😞 But they played this song too a few times, and the only lyrics that I got was "I wake to a fire..." (well, that's the only lyrics you got cz you're so dumb in English 😂😂) and googled it, but nothing came up like I was looking for. But today I just found out that it's Paralyzed by Angels & Airwaves and that makes me VERY VERY VERY HAPPY even though I'm too late 😊😊😊

    D.... G....

    Haha that's awesome! Glad you found it finally. Been trying to remember this song for a while now and I kept thinking it was from blink-182 and then I realized all along, its been AvA!

  35. G.... D....

    Day off still can't get enough this music...LOVE IT!! 😉🎶🎶🎧🎶🎶💖💖

  36. S.... A....

    fuckin awesome

  37. G.... ....

    Solid ass riff.

  38. P.... ....

    Sound a loooooooooooooot like Snake Charmer (Blink182)

    P.... ....

    Ghost on the Dance Floor riff at 1:20

  39. R.... ....

    is the full album out yet ?

    R.... ....

    just search it on youtube or buy it on the website

  40. E.... D....

    "Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet eeee moooooooo tioooon" anybody ? Just me? Aerosmith ? Nah ?

    E.... D....

    I could see that. Dab on!

    E.... D....

    haha true ! :D

  41. D.... F....

    I wish this band would become more popular. I as a major Blink fan love Tom Delonge and every stage of his musical career. The reason why AVA is not more popular is because they're not signed to a major label and want to stay indie.

  42. j.... ....

    box car racer style riff fuck yeah

    j.... ....

    if you play at 1.25x yes!

  43. R.... M....

    Best AVA song, IMO. Can't get enough of it!

  44. A.... L....

    I have been listening to this band since 2006!!

    A.... L....

    +Amanda “Mandy” LY Same! They're tattooed on my body for life <3

    A.... L....

    good for you.

    A.... L....

    me too from 05 baby.. when all the other kids listening fob or patd, i got ava for my high school anthem

    A.... L....

    It all started when my buddy found WDNTW on his ipod he bought used. iEmpire was one of the first albums I ever purchased new at full price I loved it so much

    A.... L....

    Amanda, I am late bloomer, since 2012 for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Always been a Tom fan though, since 1998!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  45. R.... O....

    let's go on 2016

  46. b.... m....

    why aren't these awesome dudes more popular?

    b.... m....

    They will be. Music is like archaeology. The next round will dig it up and feel something.

  47. R.... ....

    Kinda sounds like Pretty Little Girl, damn I really should stop thinking about blink and just appreciate the new music Tom is producing

    R.... ....

    RandomAssGuy why not appreciate them both? It's still tom's music no matter what (except for new blink, of course)
    All of toms songs are great so don't feel bad :)

  48. M.... -....

    0:33 Am I the only one who hears "Let's go!!" at that part?

    M.... -....

    +Marty McFly nope.. I heard it too, you are right :D

    M.... -....

    +Marty McFly 1:03 Am i the only one who hears "sound" at that part?

    M.... -....

    +Daniel Ashmore yeah he says "safe and sound"

  49. d.... ....

    It is so sad, that everything has scattered :/ so quickly, AVA is my best band ever, hope they do some reunion or whatever to make gig one time.

  50. W.... A....

    Find ich toll

  51. G.... I....

    Check out my group chat on kik. Join #angelsandairwaves2 if you like AVA or blink

  52. C.... K....

    The song is AWESOME

  53. H.... B....

    I personally love the way this song sounds. It makes me feel like I'm on a dream or I'm extremely tired. That's the point of the way it sounds actually so shut up about it

  54. c.... ....

    I felt a stutter and a waiver
    Cutting like a razor
    Like fire through the snow
    Then straight down to the bone

  55. a.... ....

    Controversial opinion perhaps but I like the AVA stuff a lot more than some of the newer Blink 182 material.

  56. J.... S....

    I'm obsessed with this entire album. Brilliant.

  57. E.... W....

    he just slowed down the riff for snake charmer and played it a little lower

  58. t.... i....

    Oh God I fucking love this.
    AVA imo have no bad tracks, some are better than other but all is pure fucking gold.

  59. m.... ....

    Please check out the guitar cover I made for this song !

  60. m.... b....

    I use to fucking hate this song, but its growing on mee

  61. M.... C....

    I've fallen out of interest with AVA, not entirely because of his recent actions and so forth. The music just doesn't have that power that it seem he's looking for in that band. Honestly though, this is a decent track. He really is super musically inclined, but his visions are clouding his judgment so hard.

  62. J.... D....

    ''The Dream Walker'' is so much better than Neighborhoods, Love 1 & Love 2. it sounds fresh, new and honest again. also...spring is around the corner here in the netherlands and these songs sound so much better while you feel the warmth of the bright sun....love it. i don't care what anyone says, this is the best AVA record yet. it's less produced and glad they ditched the dotted 8th delay (i love that but it was getting boring). alot of new electronic sounds that blend in well with the whole ''space/dreamy/uplifting'' thing. the vocals were intentional, it's an idea tom had while making ''Diary'' and he kept it....the lyrics often sound more mysterious that way. i actually like the production a lot more :)

  63. D.... A....

    The intro of this song is similar to Snake Charmer - blink 182!!

    D.... A....

    aaaand ghosts on the dancefloor

  64. G.... ....

    "Why is it chasing us?"

    "It's not chasing us, kid! It's chasing *you*! It's your Night Terror! Not mine!"

  65. n.... ....

    It sounds like snake charmer of blink 182, but I still thinking that this album is the best of ava.
    The 2 are good bands, shut up the ass.

  66. A.... W....

    damn this is AVA masterpiece...

  67. B.... ....

    I mean, yeah, it's not Blink. Did anyone say this song was by Blink-182? No. It's sort of obvious his new interest as an artist is Angels and Airwaves. Will he do more Blink? I'm sure he will, but it doesn't seem that's his top priority at the moment.

  68. C.... S....

    This.. is really Good! 

  69. A.... ....

    Wow that intro was sick

  70. E.... P....

    This sounds almost way to similar to snake charmer...

  71. m.... ....

    It's funny how people use "it's funny" ironally

  72. K.... C....

    AWESOME SONG. So interesting and unpredictable. I love it.

  73. M.... R....

    Heres the thing about angels and airwaves that in my opinion makes them much better than blink 182...AvA is not just a band, they are an art project and each album is dedicated to something that is of significance to Tom...Love pt. 1 and 2...was an album about human connection and hows its the most important thing and is so fragile and needs to be cherished...this song in particular "paralyzed" is about not letting your fears "paralyze" you, this band is soooo incredibly deep and underrated...if anyone wants to see just how deep they really are watch the movie "Love"...it makes you think, super deep and profound

    M.... R....

    I like Blink 182 better because of the music. Just because something is personal and means stuff, and considers itself as just "art" instead of "music", doesn't make it better than anything. I like the ideas, but a lot of the music is just mediocre to me. A lot of Tom trying to make every moment seem more epic than it is (and his voice doesn't help any). Blink 182 was poppy, fun and also serious, and didn't include Tom Delonge talking up the band like they were the second coming of christ to gain attention.

    M.... R....

    I would disagree, I think that tom is a true artistic genius and I dont think Tom thinks his band is the best ever but even if he did think it was "the second coming" then good for him because he is expressing his own artistic abilities and if he hated his art then there is no point in all of what hes doing. If you really read into things, its as epic as he makes it. I just dont think everyone fully understands it

  74. B.... D....

    Little lion safe and sound.

  75. G.... ....

    I miss Atom

  76. A.... S....

    Oh good. They strayed from the U2 sound.

  77. M.... W....

    WTF happened to Atom ?! I'm Pissed !!

  78. T.... E....

    Sounds like a slower version of (and similar to) Snake Charmer by Blink-182.

  79. R.... M....

    FREE CHOCOLATE! Not really sorry :/ But I do have some really good music influenced by bands like Angels & Airwaves and Owl City.

    Give it a listen on my channel, thanks! :D

  80. A.... C....

    tom !!!...i was giddy to hear,
    this song mess

  81. M.... M....

    Tom is definitely at his peak right now! Not only has he produced two movies but also 5 cultivated albums with Angels & Airwaves. His blink182 career was great, there is absolutely no doubt about that! But we need to respect that he is growing as an artist and that growth will not always circulate around blink. Clearly, his heart is with Angels & Airwaves and that is visible in all the work and effort he has poured into it. That does not overshadow the fact that he can still create amazing work with blink 182, of course! I love and respect both bands and I am just grateful that both are alive and active!

  82. g.... ....

    That's some killer noise there. Loving the new sound

  83. T.... ....

    Ah-weeeeeeeeeeeeeee, we're boinking to loud
    Haha

  84. A.... A....

    Oh yeah this track is out of this world

  85. P.... d....

    god damn that "sleeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP......." is so fucking good.

  86. K.... I....

    For me , AvA albums quiet suck before Love pt.2 . whole things only ,i think, remind me U2 Guitar Effects and that was all.
    and all sounded like same. i thought best post blink 182 album was Neighborhoods 
    But This Album Is fking good !!!

  87. M.... K....

    I don't know why there are so many people disliking this song. I think it's one of the best on TDW.

  88. D.... F....

    Am I the only one who noticed how similiar is this song to Snake Charmer from Neighborhoods?

  89. C.... M....

    ⋀⋁⋀

  90. K.... D....

    "Clouds are marching along, singing a song, just like they do.
    If the clouds were singing a song, I'd sing along, wouldn't you too?" 

    Anybody else hear the chords during the verses? Cool song!

  91. K.... S....

    Ah there it is, good ol' A&A.

  92. L.... R....

    Best song from New album so far

  93. M.... ....

    What is with this mixing?

  94. R.... F....

    I don't really understand the hate for this. It was probably shock from how different it is. Personally, I think this song is epic!

    R.... F....

    Go back to blink

  95. D.... S....

    This band has been amplified by a great bass player: Eddie Breckenridge.

    D.... S....

    Eddie doesn't play on this album. All the instruments are played by Ilan Rubin!

  96. w.... ....

    why does it have to be one or the other ? blink and ava are both pretty fucking sick bands 

  97. K.... P....

    The people who are saying Blink 182 is better than AvA and all that smoke... 
     They are just casual listeners. Trolls.  They don't know music.  
      They are not musicians.   They wish they could be.  

    This song "Paralyzed" is some of the catchiest shit i've heard in I don't
     know how many years.... It's definitely my favorite of all the songs released so far.

     I pump this song in my Jeep.  LOud  O.o    LOUUUUUUUUD! 

    K.... P....

    @poeglives @keitaro21   It takes far more talent, care, hours, knowledge as an engineer, musicianship, dedication, skill of electronic production to make one AVA song than it does to make one simple Blink song.. 

    As far as your question I get bored usually 1:30 into every blink song compared to AVA.  I could listen to every AVA album on repeat.     

    Maybe you are just not an experienced musician who knows how much work it takes to create an space electronic rock song.  

    I dont know.. Just my perspective i guess.  

    K.... P....

    @KOZ PRODUCTIONS Look up Trebas Institute. I'm a PLC Tech because 4 daughters dictated $$$ rather than daddy has fun on his Soundcraftsmen.

    Hung up everything, sold my kit and my Rick 4001 (still that phantom limb itch) and went into full-on dad mode.

    K.... P....

    @keitaro21
    Of course not... AVA is too cerebral and intelligent for the mainstream and the poor souls who have been dumbed down by the majority of it.

    K.... P....

    @keitaro21 Pure BS. I listen to their whole discography at a time, all the time.

    K.... P....

    @Alan Hinton "in america our brand of humor is considered very cerebral and intelligent" - Mark Hoppus, blink-182 live at Big Day Out in Sydney year 2000. Lol you just made me think of that. But you're totally right. AVA is the kind of music that you either get or don't and if you do this whole new amazing world opens.

  98. P.... T....

    such a dirty ass riff i fucking love it

  99. m.... ....

    I like it:D

  100. z.... ....

    Love how it starts off soft and gets heavy, such a headband song
