Zombie
Andrew Spencer and The Vamprockerz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns

In your head, in your head, they are crying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Ey, ey. What's in your head
In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Ey, ey, ey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, eyaa
Ey ey zombie
Ey ey zombie
Ey ey zombie

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Ey, ey.
What's in your head
In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie

Ey, ey, ey, ey zombie ey ey ey
Zombieyee

Line by Line Meaning

Another head hangs lowly
One more life is lost and mourned

Child is slowly taken
An innocent person is being unjustly taken away

And the violence caused such silence
The brutality has left an eerie, unsettling quietness

Who are we mistaken?
Who exactly is responsible for this ongoing chaos?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
I am not to blame for this tragedy, nor are the people closest to me

In your head, in your head they are fighting
This is all happening inside your mind, a constant battle between good and evil

With their tanks and their bombs
The weaponry used in this conflict is destructive and deadly

And their bombs and their guns
More instruments of destruction used in this never-ending war

In your head, in your head, they are crying
Even in the midst of all the fighting and chaos, there is still sorrow and tears shed by those involved

Zombie, zombie, zombie
The people involved in this conflict are like zombies, going through the motions without truly living

Ey, ey. What's in your head
Hey, hey. What is causing all of these thoughts and emotions in your head?

In your head
All of these conflicts and battles are all taking place within your own thoughts

Zombie, zombie, zombie
The same phrase is repeated, symbolizing the ongoing cycle of violence that has become almost zombie-like

Ey, ey, ey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, eyaa
A chant, almost like a battle cry, used to rally fighters in this never-ending war

Ey ey zombie
Repeating the word 'zombie' again, emphasizing the idea of people being controlled, without truly living

Ey ey zombie
The same phrase again, hammering home the message of this song

Versão impecável de uma música fantástica, com teor político histórico. O grande legado de Dolores O'Riordan e CIA. Eternidade musical ao CRANBERRIES!
