Parallel Worlds – What Does This Song Mean?

Lyrics Have Been Taken From An Online Site And Have Not Been Checked Thoroughly

My Minds Playing Up Again,
And Someone’s There,
The Room Is Getting Colder Now,
The Light Swings Again,
And I’m Scared,
Cos Someone’s There,
Stop Messing With My Mind Cos Now I’m...

Trapped In Your World Where You’re Burning In My Eyes,
You're Like A Shadow That Never Hides...!

I’m Stuck In Parallel Worlds,
With Something Supernatural,
It Won’t Let Me Go,
It’s Paranormal,
And No One Else Believes Me,
I Feel So Alone Again.
Go..O..O
It Won’t Let Me
Go..O..O
It Won’t Let Me

I’m Stuck Against The Wall,
I Can’t Make A Move,
My Heart Beat Stops,
I’m Scared Of This Time Cos I Cant Make A Line,
Once Again It Just Proves To Be Difficult,
I’m Feeling Nervous But There's Nothing That I Cannot Do,
I’m Stuck In A Dimension Where Its Hard To Breath,
And It’s Still True,
I’m Loosing My Mind,
I’m Falling,
Someone Help Me,
What Can I Do!

Trapped In Your World Where You’re Burning In My Eyes,
You're Like A Shadow That Never Hides...!

I’m Stuck In Parallel Worlds,
With Something Supernatural,
It Won’t Let Me Go,
It’s Paranormal,
And No One Else Believes Me,
I Feel So Alone Again

I’m Stuck In Parallel Worlds,
With Something Supernatural,
It Won’t Let Me Go,
It’s Paranormal,
And No One Else Believes Me,
I Feel So Alone Again

I’m Stuck In Parallel Worlds,
With Something Supernatural,
It Won’t Let Me Go,
It’s Paranormal,
And No One Else Believes Me,
I Feel So Alone Again

Surprisingly, this song isn’t about love. During their student years, before Elliot Minor became the band they are today, Alex stayed in a small flat, where creepy stuff kept happening. Later, Alex found out that a chef had killed himself in the same room where all the terrible stuff was happening. “Parallel Worlds” comes from the fact that it was like nowhere on earth when you were in this room. Also the lack of specific wording of what this things in makes it seem a little eerie, for example if “Something supernatural” became “a big scary chef ghost”, it would lose all the effect of the song, which personally I believe is that it’s a weird place, scary and encourages us to think more. And if we think about the song more, we are more likely to remember it. Also we can see some paranoia among the song, like the place is affecting his life on a drastic basis.

People first assumed this song was about some form of love, but during one of the Webisodes they made, they true meaning was revealed. Like with Jessica, you have to get close to the song to know what it means, but when you get there it all becomes cleared.

This meaning is strongly linked to the video. It’s set in an old room, where draws shoot open, and paper is flying about. The set appears quite old, to give the illusion of a haunting; the theme of the song.

Yet again, this is an amazing song from Elliot Minor. They are an awesome band and I’d recommend listening to them, and if you get the chance: see them live!
