Death SS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I finally see the light again
The light of my return
After too much time in darkness
I've had enough of being underground

By now it's all over
Forgotten from memory
And from the heart of the living

My sepulchre has become decrepit
Decaying as my mortal remains
They are corroded by time
By vice and worms

So many years now have passed
From the last time
That someone cried
Or even prayed for me

Oooh Zombie, what do you want from us?
Oooh Zombie, why have you come back to life?

Men don't care about their dead
Don't know that they've come back
Come back to kill them

Don't believe that it?S all over
At the moment of burial
There is something more important
That pushes us to come back

The living cry the dead but the dead kill the living
That is the greatest day for me
The day of resurrection

I don't know who I was
I don't remember my ancient name
But now I feel a new reason
I have no fear to kill





Oooh Zombie, what do you want from us?
Oooh Zombie, is this real life?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Death SS's "Zombie" describe the return of a dead person from the grave. The singer, who is a zombie, states that they have finally seen the light again- the light of their return from the grave. They are tired of being underground, in darkness, and forgotten. The sepulchre where they were buried has become decrepit and corroded by time, vice, and worms.


Despite being dead and forgotten, the zombie claims that there is something more important after burial that pushes them to come back. The living cry for the dead but it is the dead that kill the living. The zombie feels a new reason and has no fear of killing. The chorus of the song repeatedly asks the question, "Oooh Zombie, what do you want from us?" and "Oooh Zombie, is this real life?"


The lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on the cyclical nature of life and death, the inevitability of decay and mortality, and the idea that death is not the end. The zombie's return represents the idea that death is not conclusive and that there might be something more beyond it.

At the moment of burial

There is something more important
Death is not the end for some people, and there might be something more important after we die.

I don't remember my ancient name
I cannot recall my name from my former life, as it has been forgotten by everyone.


But now I feel a new reason
As a zombie, I have a new purpose and drive, different from what motivated me when I was alive.


I have no fear to kill
Zombies have no moral compass or sense of right and wrong, and are driven only by instinct and hunger.


Oooh Zombie, is this real life?
The living are in disbelief at the sight of zombies, and question whether this is real life or some sort of nightmare or hallucination.
