Funeral Pyre
Zombie Girl Lyrics

The lyrics to Zombie Girl's song Funeral Pyre depict a yearning to be engulfed by flames and used as a funeral pyre. The singer is unable to feel the fires that exist around them, but they can sense the burning desire of those around them. It's almost as if the singer is asking to be consumed by the flames in a bid to feel something real and raw. By being turned into a funeral pyre, the singer is transformed from a passive observer to an active participant in the scene, making death an extension of life.

The verses are emotionally charged, with the repetition of "I can't feel" highlighting a sense of detachment towards reality. The chorus, on the other hand, is uplifting and hopeful, where the singer asks to be transformed, to be taken to a higher level of being, where they can finally feel something real. It could be suggested that the song is exploring the idea that humans often have to experience pain and loss to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world they live in.
