zombie
Andrew Spencer/The Vamprockerz Lyrics

The lyrics "Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken" depict the aftermath of violence and tragedy. The phrase "Another head hangs lowly" suggests someone who is experiencing deep sorrow or shame, while "child is slowly taken" likely refers to the loss of innocence or the death of a child. The following lines "And the violence caused such silence, who are we mistaken?" question who is responsible for the violence and why it has been allowed to continue. The next lines "But you see, it's not me, it's not my family" suggest a sense of helplessness and distance from the violence in the world, but it is still affecting those who are witnessing it.

The repetition of the phrase "In your head, in your head" suggests that the violence and the "zombie" mentality associated with it is not just physical, but also mental. It is a state of mind that people can get trapped in and cannot escape from. The lines "With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns" suggest the military aspect of the violence, while "they are crying" humanizes those caught in the crossfires of the violence. The repeated chant of "zombie, zombie, zombie" seems to indicate that those participating in the violence and those witnessing it are all trapped in a cycle that has dehumanized them.
