“The fear of man brings a snare…” [Proverbs 29:25]. My dad taught me this verse when I was 14, and it’s stuck with me ever since. Fathers can be pillars of respect to their sons, but sometimes the line between respect and fear can seem blurred. We learn from our fathers, but we are not them. We’re guided by our fathers, but the journey is ours. ’Paralyzed’ is about seeing the person you wish to be in your journey, but fearing how that person will be accepted. This video is a journey of being paralyzed by that fear to confronting it head on ___________ The journey continues with Mr. Billy Boyd Cape (dir). Thank you to the whole team 🙏🏿🌞

hit me right in the guts this morning, first time hearing it and of course it had to be right now 4:02 am not sleeping because youre still awake in my.mind
This song helped me make peace with letting go my ex. He was very toxic to me and the relationship was very abusive from both sides. It left me emotionally paralyzed and that is why I love this song so much because in my own context, it talks to me.☺️
I thought exactly this of the black community's break up with white supremacy. What that might look like, How the community would have to rely on and support one another. Where we had breakdowns we caught each other and breathed life
Hello, I am a South Korean fan of kwaye. I was so sad that this song disappeared from an app called Melon. I will come to TH-cam and listen a lot. I hope you keep singing good songs.
I figured a lot of depression comes in times of growth (mental and spiritual growing aches), the growth happens when we can let the changes and transformation happen, you are about to level up and hit a new high in your life that makes you wiser.
..the neighbors must think i'm mad for screaming about KWAYE putting out another song....BUT I DON'T CARE!! This legend gave me goosebumps with this song 😍😂
2:34 its so strong it electrified my brain every time i heard that triple voice part.. it breaks my body is so beautiful and strong song, I used to listening this song with my now deceased girlfriend, she used to sing this, loved you so so so much where ever you are now ,,, rest in peace my sweet love.
i love you. you never disappoint. when you make it big i hope you stay true to yourself and your vision, don't let the industry change you! it's a beautiful song. the lyrics just cut deep. this journey is a tough one and sometimes the fear is blinding... but it's true.. the stars belong to us. i sincerely thank you for this one.
I'm constantly impressed by the sheer quality in the work you make, be it the musicality, the video direction and aesthetics, to your pure vocal talent! Thank you so much, such an inspiration, can't wait to hear more!
This taunting melody.... Coupled w words that have seemingly been lifted from within my heart which I've unsuccessfully searched my mind and soul for.... And the tears fall.
just saw this song now on Trace Africa. listen my sweetheart I feel your pain and struggle. I was so moved by the lyrics. my word the vidoe is something else. wow well done. U have a new follower and and fan. i love yahhhh
I'm absolutely in love. My #1 favorite song. God, the universe, the eternal throb of life.. Is sobbing for your beautiful manifestation of soul. Thank you so much for this beautiful creation.
i don't even understand why i am finding now .t this is such a beautiful piece i am literally in tears right now because the message that is conveyed by this song is so Powerful. Kwaye mere mortals aren't even deserving of you. I can finally say i have found a song i am going to play at my wedding.
OMG!!! Kwaye...dang man...like where have you been all my life.. this song...come on...man...you did your thing..your emotions are so raw and pure....I heart your music!
As soon as I heard the little piece of this song, from love and hip-hop ,I grabbed my phone and started to find it on TH-cam, it was that tingling feeling I got, and that was all I needed, the song is beautiful
I usually have a very short attention span but I watched this whole thing from start to end and I was blown away. Every detail was impeccable. The visuals, the lyrics, the dance....perfection.
I just heard this song this morning and played it about 20 times today. The words hit me and not just that after watching the video I felt the pain. Pain that wanted to break out but to stuck to choose what road to go on. "PARALYZED" is a perfect word for it. Never heard of Kwaye, but believe me people will start now. Ill pass your name around and try to get the world to hear your voice. Now my favorite song.
The visual, the lyrics, the choreo, the location. Everything about this works seamlessly well together. This is art of the highest form, man. I can’t wait for Kwaye’s 2019 takeover 🙌🏾
My chest heaves with admiration. I cannot wrack my brain for the right words to express how amazing this song is. I’ll stick with gorgeous, but it doesn’t even come close.

❤
"It's not hard to play the victim, ooh
When these scars belong to you
I'm a walking contradiction
To practice what I preach would be a heavy load to bare
Novelty you and I
Have been unfamiliar
And I don't know when
But I can't believe we've run dry
I let you steal my thunder
No reprieve for my mind
Paralyzed, paralyzed
I'm caught in the middle of voices
Pulling me far from where I'm able
To stand in the light and walk without you
Paralyzed, paralyzed
I'm caught in the middle of choices
Pushing me far from where I'm stable, capsized
Paralyzed
Venture into dreams we hope for
But live in fear of truths we hide
To let them show would leave me open
And I could not conceive a harder load to share
Novelty, you and I
Have been unfamiliar
And I don't know when
But I can't believe we've run dry
I let you steal my thunder
No reprieve for my mind
I'm paralyzed, paralyzed
I'm caught in the middle of voices
Pulling me far from where I'm able
To stand in the light and walk without you
I'm paralyzed, paralyzed
I'm caught in the middle of choices
Pushing me far from where I'm stable, capsized
Fallen like darkness at night
Feel it cloud over my eyes
You and I
Have been unfamiliar
And I don't know when
I'm paralyzed, paralyzed
I'm caught in the middle of voices
Pulling me far from where I'm able
To stand in the light and walk without you
I'm paralyzed, paralyzed
I'm caught in the middle of choices
Pushing me far from where I'm stable, capsized
Paralyzed"
