zombie
Family Force 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch me walk like a zombie
Walk, watch me walk, watch me walk,
Watch me walk like a zombie
Airborne, sound the air horn
It's a contagion, invasion, rampaging with no vaccination
Six feet down, coming out of the ground
It's a virus, apocalyptic,
You won't survive this
You can't predict it, hey!
Chaotic, psychotic
Death defying, lifeless logic
It's scary, supernatural
Knock me down, I'm so come-back-able
Not dead, undead, a new creation
Zombie regeneration
Fresh flesh, but I don't need a headshot
Still hot, still rock
Worldwide, infected
I'm back, resurrected
Whole life I remember it fondly
Watch me walk like a zombie
Zombie zombie zombie,
Zombie zombie zombie,
Re-re-reanimated,
Back-back-back-back from the dead
Walk, watch me walk, watch me walk,
Watch me walk like a zombie
Walk, watch me walk, watch me walk,
Watch me walk like a zombie
I'm a zombie, who I want to be
Not a wannabe but a zombie
I know, insanity, unattainable, unchainable
Zombie-ance is uncontainable
Run for your-ru-ru-run for your life, what
Bon-Appetite, I got a new appetite
Transformed, be-be-be-be-reborn, uh
Love bites and it's in rare form
In the Family Force 5 song "Zombie," which was released in 2011, the lyrics describe the transformation of the singer into a zombie. The song suggests that the transformation isn't a bad thing and that the singer is happy with their new life. The song includes references to apocalyptic and supernatural themes, making it seem as though the singer's transformation is a result of a larger event that affected the world. The lyrics describe the singer as being "fresh flesh," indicating that they are still new to their undead state. Throughout the song, the singer revels in their new life, enjoying their newfound strength and endurance.
One interesting aspect of "Zombie" is the way in which it takes a classic horror trope and subverts it. Rather than depicting zombies as mindless monsters, the lyrics suggest that being a zombie is something to aspire to. The song is also notable for its upbeat tempo and catchy melody, which contrasts with the darker themes of the lyrics.

Walk, watch me walk, watch me walk,
Watch me walk like a zombie
The singer commands the listener to watch them walk like a zombie, which they proceed to do.
Airborne, sound the air horn
It's a contagion, invasion, rampaging with no vaccination
Six feet down, coming out of the ground
Looks like it's getting around
It's a virus, apocalyptic,
You won't survive this
You can't predict it, hey!
There's a contagious virus that has been causing zombies to come out of graves and infect people, and it seems like no one can survive it. It's spreading wildly, and there's no vaccine for it.
Chaotic, psychotic
Death defying, lifeless logic
It's scary, supernatural
Knock me down, I'm so come-back-able
Not dead, undead, a new creation
Zombie regeneration
Fresh flesh, but I don't need a headshot
Still hot, still rock
The singer describes themselves as a zombie who is chaotic, psychotic, and has lifeless logic. They talk about being able to quickly recover after being knocked down, and how they've been reborn as an undead entity with fresh flesh. They mention that they don't need to be shot in the head to stop them as they are still alive and rocking out.
Worldwide, infected
I'm back, resurrected
Whole life I remember it fondly
Watch me walk like a zombie
The whole world is infected with this virus that has made people into zombies, and the artist is among those undead entities. They reminisce about their life before turning into a zombie, but they don't mind their current state. And once again, they tell people to watch them walk like a zombie.
Zombie zombie zombie,
Zombie zombie zombie,
Re-re-reanimated,
Back-back-back-back from the dead
Multiple repetitions of the word 'zombie' and 'reanimated' are used, driving home the point that the artist has been brought back to life as a member of the undead.
I'm a zombie, who I want to be
Not a wannabe but a zombie
I know, insanity, unattainable, unchainable
Zombie-ance is uncontainable
Run for your-ru-ru-run for your life, what
Bon-Appetite, I got a new appetite
Transformed, be-be-be-be-reborn, uh
Love bites and it's in rare form
The singer identifies as a zombie, happy with who they have become, and not a mere wannabe. They acknowledge that being a zombie is associated with madness, and it's impossible to chain them down. The 'zombie-ance' that has taken over them cannot be contained. They use a play on words with 'bon-appetite' to indicate their new appetite for human flesh. They also seem to be transformed but it's unclear how or to what extent.
Walk, watch me walk, watch me walk,
Watch me walk like a zombie
Walk, watch me walk, watch me walk,
Watch me walk like a zombie
The song ends much as it began, with the singer encouraging everybody to watch them walk like a zombie.
