Under the paralysis
Nu Metal / B Phrygian / 138 BPM / Brutal internalized rage. Instrumentation: low-end 7/8-string guitars with palm-muted chugs and slides; distorted melodic leads for solos; punchy and clicky drums with tom-led pushes; glitch and industrial FX sparingly to accentuate tension. Vocals: whispered intimacy in verses, doubled grit pre-chorus, blended scream + clean in chorus; subtle pitch-shifted doubles and delay effects for depth. Mix: wide stereo image, clear low-mid separation, headroom maintained for peaks; reverb on whispers, plate/short on screams; master for streaming with 6–8 dB headroom, preserving transients. Dynamics: intro sparse, chorus explosive, interlude/bridge provide breathable contrast; solo melodic but aggressive, bridging tension to final catharsis.

Lyrics
UNDER THE PARALYSIS
I can feel it crawling up my spine
A voice that used to sound like mine
I tried to fight it off, I tried to breathe
But the weight inside won’t let me leave
I break my teeth on every thought
Everything I am is what I’m not
It’s in my blood, it burns my skin
I’m losing shape from deep within
Pull me under, tear me apart
It’s getting colder inside my heart
Under the paralysis — I can’t escape
I’m still alive but not myself
Scream it out — it never fades
This is the hell that I create
I hear my name inside the pain
It calls me back to what remains
Every truth I tried to hide
Still bleeds through the other side
Pull me under, tear me apart
It’s getting colder inside my heart
Under the paralysis — I can’t escape
I’m still alive but not myself
Scream it out — it never fades
This is the hell that I create
It won’t go quiet
It won’t let go
The numb becomes the only home
Under the paralysis — I feel no pain
I found myself inside the strain
Scream it out — it never fades
This is the hell that I create
