Paranoia Shields Lyrics

You will never find anything
Like a forest in search of its trees
You will never gain anything
Take a bullet to kill a wet dream

I will always be everything
Like a shadow inside of the cave
I will never give anything
Break a sweat just to have some relief

You were always revolting me
Like an echo held up to my face
You were always in search of me
Take a second to find what you seek

I will never give anything
Break a sweat just to have some relief
I will always be everything
Like a shadow inside of the cave

I feel you close
Heating up my coals
But there isn't a hell that I would burden with you
Death brings us close
Isn't that morose
But there isn't a fire that I would waste to burn you

We are both just a fantasy
Won't you please keep imagining me

You've become such a piece of me
Always were but then I couldn't see

I will never give anything
Break a sweat just to have some relief
I will always be everything
Like a shadow inside of the cave

I feel you close
Heating up my coals
But there isn't a hell that I would burden with you
Death brings us close
Isn't that morose
But there isn't a fire that I would waste to burn you

I'll be with you when you die
Always by your side
Holding onto nights
How'd we let this go so far
Cause I don't know where we are
Bring it back to life

I'll be with you when you die
Always by your side
Holding onto nights we tried to hold the earth still
How'd we ever get this far
Cause I don't know where we are
Bring it back to my beginning
Your beginning

I could just go to sleep but how would I scream
I'd wake you up but then you'd see what I mean
I've manifested you in fever daydream

I feel you close
Heating up my coals
But there is a hell that I would burden with you
Death brings us close
Isn't that morose
But there is a fire that I would waste to burn you

*Paranoia shields

@krTog1 Good pick up. My brain completely read it correctly ... I have amended the title now (and kept Paranoid Shields as an alias for the song).

This song is about having the flu or being sick or something and when you get better, you get paranoid about germs. I like it.

My Interpretation

@captaincumrag I suppose that is one way to look at it ... I personally think it is talking about a personal relationship.

To me it sounds like they are struggling after a relationship. They are looking for the "perfect" partner, but are too bitter to believe that there is someone out there for them. Well at least not someone who won't hurt them (emotionally).
