The First Time I Ever Heard...
A teenage protagonist stumbles upon Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" in a record store, instantly captivated by its raw, energetic sound and Ozzy Osbourne's unique vocals. The experience is described as both terrifying and exhilarating, a gateway to a world of music the protagonist never knew existed. The song's themes of paranoia and confusion resonate with the protagonist's own feelings, leaving them in a daze of awe and existential pondering.
