Zombie
✖The Pretty Reckless Lyrics

I'm not listening to you
I'm not paying attention to your words or commands

I am wandering right through existence
I'm aimlessly moving through life without a clear purpose

With no purpose and no drive
I lack ambition and motivation in life

'Cause in the end we're all alive, alive
No matter what, we're all living beings in this world

Two thousand years I've been awake
I've been consciously aware for a long time, perhaps in reference to feeling emotionally drained for centuries

Waiting for the day to shake
Anticipating an event or moment of significance that will cause a shift or change

To all of you who've wronged me
Referring to those who have caused harm or hurt

I am, I am a zombie
Feeling lifeless and empty due to emotional exhaustion or trauma

Again, again you want me to fall on my head
You repeatedly want me to suffer or fail

How low, how low, how low will you push me
How much more can you hurt or harm me?

To go, to go, to go, before I lie down dead
To keep pushing until I'm completely broken or defeated

Blow the smoke right off the tube
Moving away from something toxic, harmful, or unpleasant

Kiss my gentle burning bruise
Soothe my emotional pain and scars with kindness and compassion

I'm lost in time
Feeling disconnected or out of place in the current moment

And to all the people left behind
Addressing those who have moved on or progressed while others remain stagnant

You are walking dumb and blind, blind
You're unaware of your surroundings and not able to perceive what's happening

Dear all of you who've wronged me
Continuing to address those who have caused hurt or harm

Oh dead, Oh dead, Oh dead
Echoing a sense of finality or emotional emptiness
