AViVA - PARALYZED

Copied!

{verse 1}
Dark or light don't matter when you’re feeling like me
I could be on stage or hiding under the sheets
Come a little closer let you catch my disease
Sick of wanting to scream, hold on!
Feeling kinda freaked out, is this called insecure?
I had all the pieces, all my ducks in row
Now i'm looking out i don't know where i should go
What is there left to do

{pre-chorus 1}
I don’t really get
Why i'm holding on when i really want to let go
But my brain rejects
To the things i want to forget i cannot say no
I don't understand, this seems underhand
Hell, who's side am i even on?
But my brain rejects
And i can't forget, even though i want to let go

{pre-chorus}
Are you even listening?
I'm sick of these feelings
They‘re wrapping and trapping me
They're dragging me
And i can't get free
Are you even listening?
I’m sick of these feelings
They‘re grabbing and stabbing me
Changing reality

{chorus}
Paralyzed
Fight or flight
I’m paralyzed
And out of time
And nothings right
But did i try?
When i'm paralyzed

{post-chorus}
Paralyzed
Da-da-da-da-dada
Paralyzed
Da-da-da-da-dada
Paralyzed
Da-da-da-da-dada
Paralyzed

{verse 2}
I am always trying
But the pieces are wrong
Never click together never coming in strong
Stared into the mirror left me feeling alone
I just want to go home
Hold on!

{pre-chorus 1}
I don’t really get
Why i'm holding on when i really want to let go
But my brain rejects
To the things i want to forget i cannot say no
I don't understand, this seems underhand
Hell, who's side am i even on?
But my brain rejects
And i can’t forget, even though i want to let go

{chorus}
Paralyzed
Fight or flight
I'm paralyzed
And out of time
And nothings right
But did i try?
When i'm paralyzed

{chorus}
Paralyzed
Fight or flight
I'm paralyzed
And out of time
And nothings right
But did i try?
When i'm paralyzed

{post-chorus}
Paralyzed
Da-da-da-da-dada
Paralyzed
Da-da-da-da-dada
Paralyzed
Da-da-da-da-dada
Paralyzed

Biography

edit bio

Moving to LA in early 2019, Australian artist AViVA isn’t afraid of baring all in her music as she continues to explore the themes of control and isolation. AViVA describes her songs as being about the “Outsider experience” something clearly expressed in both her lyrics and the sonic palate of her catalogue. AViVA and her unique alt pop-rock emo sound has created a growing groundswell online, building a strong community of fans- her ‘Outsiders’. Since her debut single ‘GRRRLS’ in late 2017 her distinct sound and message has garnered the support of tastemakers globally on YouTube and Spotify. Since then AViVA has amassed over 700 million global streams. AViVA spent 2019 writing new music and touring with the likes of UK’s Yungblud and Youtube’s Poppy. After unveiling her emotional new single ‘Psycho’ AViVA has decided to take her captivating live performance on the road for her first US headline tour.
AViVA and her fearless approach to lyric writing and fusion of hip-hop, pop and rock elements in production make her music a catchy and unique sonic pleasure.

AViVA wanted to create music that would connect with her audience in the same way she has always found music based on its ability to connect and feel. “So long as people find a connection, I will keep being cryptic. Sometimes not having all the facts helps people to find more meaning.” Says AViVA, herself no stranger to the feelings of exclusion and disillusionment.
She wants her music to inspire girls, boys, men and women everywhere to stand proud of who you are, forget what others think and fight for the right to be you.
