Adam (featuring Amy) Lyrics

Another head hangs lowly
The beginning of a tragic event has occurred, and someone is experiencing a loss.

Child is slowly taken
A child has been taken, indicating a loss of innocence and vulnerability.

And the violence caused such silence
The brutality and horror of the situation has left those involved in a state of shock and quietness.

Who are we mistaken
Those responsible for the violence are questioned, as their actions have caused immense harm and suffering.

But you see it's not me
The artist distances themselves from the violence and the situation at hand.

It's not my family
The singer confirms that they are not directly involved in the conflict and its consequences.

In your head, in your head, they are fighting
The violence that is witnessed or experienced has a lasting emotional impact and may continue to haunt the person's thoughts and memories.

With their tanks, and their bombs
The weaponry used in the violence is described, emphasizing the destructive nature and power of the weapons.

And their bombs and their guns
The various forms of weaponry are reiterated to emphasize the sheer magnitude of the conflict.

In your head, in your head they are crying
The emotional impact of the violence is conveyed, highlighting the suffering and pain experienced by those involved.

In your head, in your head
The repetition of this phrase emphasizes that the events and emotions being described are internal and subjective.

Zombie, zombie, zombie
The repeated use of the word 'zombie' could be interpreted to mean that the person feels numb, disconnected or disconnected from reality.

Another mother's breaking head is taking over
Another individual is experiencing a deep sense of loss, and the weight of the situation is overwhelming.

When the violence causes silence
The brutal nature of the conflict can lead to a sense of shock and numbness that suppresses the ability to speak out or take action.

We must be mistaken
The continuation of violence and conflict calls into question the moral and ethical judgment of those who perpetuate it.

It's the same old theme since 1916
The song refers to the ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland, which has been a source of violence and suffering for generations.

In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
The conflict is ongoing and has persisted for generations, even as society around it has moved forward.

With their tanks, and their bombs
The destructive power of weaponry is emphasized again, highlighting the ongoing destruction and harm caused by the conflict.

And their bombs and their guns
The weaponry used in the conflict is reiterated, emphasizing its continued use and destructive power.

In your head, in your head they are dying
The violence continues to take lives and cause immense suffering and harm.
