Paralyzed & Powerless by Shani Ace published on 2020-06-06T02:02:29Z The beat(https://soundcloud.com/shani_ace/github) for this song evolved through 2016-2020 until it got that rock-y vibe I was looking for. It's a song about resisting oppression when you're feeling paralyzed and powerless against all kinds of authorities. Be that politicians, police, parents or generally the old generation holding back the young generation when it comes to climate change, the pandemic, discrimination and even people fighting for friggin toiletpaper! Some have pointed out a Linkin Park vibe that I previously wasn't aware of but it makes total sense, they're one of my favourite bands! --------- Lyrics: Paralyzed & Powerless Verse: This goes out to all the people in power The “authority” keeping us in a chokehold The old guard tryna take control Of the young generation as a whole To all the overbearing parents and grandparents You didn’t exactly leave us the best inheritance The planet’s dying, as are many ill and sick people But you focus on money not the will of the people Instead of fostering a sense of community You divide us with fear and with stupid greed Get peepz fighting over toilet paper in the store With some support/ we could do so much more Instead of riding the waves like a Jetski You keep us down, you don’t want us to get free I can’t deny, how much it affects me I feel paralyzed, ‘cause you won’t let me: Hook (2x): Feel/ I belong Think/ nothing’s wrong Know/ that I’m strong Live / how I want Try/ to succeed Aim/ For my shot Get / what I need Give/ all I got Bridge: All the times I wanted something from you But never got anything All the times I needed something from you You weren’t there to help me, nooo All the times I wanted something from you I never got anything, anything All the times I wanted something from you I just got shit Verse: You won’t give me what I want, what I need Sometimes I’d just want you to see/ How you’re endlessly ... hampering/ chances of others And how you’re pretending/ to stand above others Instead of lending/ a hand you just smother Anyone who needs cover/ you abandon your brothers Which is evidently/ not very friendly But I’m not expecting you to understand me Cause you and I, we live in different worlds You got the power to help/ I got neither power nor help You won’t let me fullfil my potential But tell me everything I do is inconsequential I could do so much good, be so much more But now I can’t even pick myself up from the floor Instead of making my own thing like Etsy I feel powerless, ‘cause you won’t let me: Hook (2x) Canto : All the times I wanted something from you You just didn’t care But every time you needed help from me I was there, I was thehehere Paralyzed & Powerless Paralyzed & Powerless Paralyzed & Powerless Paralyzed & Powerless I feel Paralyzed & Powerless Paralyzed & Powerless I feel Paralyzed & Powerless Paralyzed & Powerless Paralyzed & Powerless I feel Paralyzed & Powerless Powerless Powerless I feel Paralyzed & Powerless Paralyzed, so paralyzed Outro: Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu-Fuck you-ou-ou-ou Fuckyouuuu Fuck, Fuck, Youououou Genre Electronic Rock Comment by sINGLE hANDED Amazing ending!! <3 <3 2021-04-26T21:59:42Z Comment by sINGLE hANDED Man this is a great tune!
