Zombies
Attak Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you see them, don't deceive them, when you're on the street.
When you see them, you cant beat them, cause they want some meat.
You can't fight them, when you sight them they will end your life.
They will eat you when they meet you, carve you with a knife.

They're the zombies
They're the zombies
And their eyes are red.

They're the zombies

They're the zombies
And you'll soon be dead.

The first two lines convey a sense of caution to those who see the zombies but warns them not to deceive them as it may lead to dangerous consequences. The third and fourth lines explain that fighting the zombies is not a viable option, as they will ultimately end your life and take pleasure in feasting on your corpse while carving you with a knife.

The chorus, "They're the zombies, and their eyes are red. They're the zombies, and you'll soon be dead." emphasizes the horror and terror that comes with the presence of these creatures.
