Paranoia

A haunting gothic alternative metal song about the growing fear of being watched, where ordinary events become sinister and the line between reality and imagination begins to disappear. This song was written specifically for Pitch Black, an album by Decimus Iulius, released October 21, 2026. ⸻ Lyrics: Black car, lights are dim Silhouette watches me Feel the sting beneath my skin By what I think I see Suspicious grins from every side Don’t know why it’s this way Tracking my every step All throughout my day Heard a tap on my door but no one’s outside Then a voice called out my name I answered, no reply My keys aren’t where I left them Phone went dead again Someone’s been moving little things I know I didn’t move them They say I’m overthinking Say it’s all in my head But I know what I’ve heard and seen Too much to believe what they said They say I’m crazy That I’m losing my mind They say paranoia, paranoia As if it’s true this time They don’t believe me That the shadows watch me sleep Paranoia, paranoia I know they’re watching me I know they’re watching me Door was cracked when I got home Something didn’t feel the same Pictures shifted on the wall Things weren’t where they’d been Lights were out, phone went dead Keys were nowhere I could see Maybe I forgot again But I know that wasn’t me Same car, maybe not Same faces everywhere They’re always watching me ‘Til I turn and no one’s there Whispers follow when I pass Or maybe that’s not what I hear Don’t know who these people are I just know they’re getting near Maybe it’s all in my head Not sure how I feel Or maybe they are fooling me Into thinking none of it is real They say I’m crazy That I’m losing my mind They say paranoia, paranoia Maybe they’re right this time But I still hear them And I still see what I see Paranoia, paranoia I know they’re watching me Paranoia, that’s what they say Watch from the shadows as my mind decay Paranoia, that’s how I feel Left me thinking none of this is real They say I’m crazy Maybe I’ve lost my mind They say paranoia, paranoia I hear it all the time Can’t tell who is talking Can’t trust what I see Paranoia, paranoia I know they’re watching me Paranoia Paranoia Paranoia Paranoia Paranoia Paranoia ⸻ #Paranoia #DecimusIulius #GothicMetal #DarkAlternativeMetal #AlternativeMetal #GothicRock #PsychologicalHorror #DarkRock #OriginalMusic #NewMusic
