The Walking Dead
Berserkr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alive among the walking dead, in a world that became hell
Ignore the sights you see, through jaded, lifeless eyes
Ignore reality - and everything looks fine
LIFE AMONG THE WALKING DEAD (x4)
Trust and honor - bought and sold - even freedom's up for sale
Insects are what we've become - in a panic-stricken daze
Faceless - nameless swarms with a singe mindless gaze
LIFE AMONG THE WALKING DEAD (x4)
Do right - and fear no one
Do right - and fear no one
Do right - and fear no one
Do right - and fear no one
The lyrics of Berserkr's song The Walking Dead speak about a world that has become corrupted, cold and hellish, where survival is the ultimate goal among the walking dead. The poignant opening lines of the song highlights the struggles and challenges that the people in this world face. The lyrics suggest that to survive among the walking dead, one must learn to ignore the atrocities and injustices that surround them, even if it means succumbing to lifeless eyes and ignoring the truth of the reality.
The next verse describes how trust and honor are no longer virtues in this world. They have been replaced by greed and corruption, where even freedom can be bought and sold. The idea of how good men rot in jail in this corrupt world further emphasizes the state of despair that the world is in. The lyrics compare the people to insects who are panicking, aimlessly wandering in hordes with lifeless, expressionless faces.
The chorus repeats the phrase 'Life Among The Walking Dead' four times, driving home the central theme of the song. The final verse of the song ends with a message of hope, urging the listeners to 'Do right - and fear no one'. The lyrics suggest that even in a world filled with darkness, there is always a way to overcome adversity through doing the right thing.
