Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zombie, zombie, zombie, zombie nation(x4)
Ohhohhohhohh, oh, ohhohhohhohhohhohh, ohhoh, ohhoh(x10)
Zombie, zombie, zombie, zombie nation(x4)
Ohhohhohhohh, oh, ohhohhohhohhohhohh, ohhoh, ohhoh(x6)
The lyrics to Ferry Corsten's song "Kernkraft 400" are repetitive and simplistic, consisting primarily of the phrase "zombie nation" repeated over and over again. These lyrics seem to suggest a sense of uniformity or mass conformity, as if the people of this "zombie nation" are all the same and lack individuality. The repetition of the phrase creates a kind of hypnotic quality, as if the listener is being drawn into this mass conformity themselves.
At the same time, the lyrics are also somewhat ominous and foreboding. The idea of a "zombie nation" suggests an apocalyptic scenario in which the population has been reduced to mindless zombies, capable only of following orders and perpetuating some kind of bleak agenda. The repeated "ohhohhhohh" chants reinforce this sense of dread and unease, evoking the feeling of a kind of cult-like ritual that has taken over this society.
Overall, the lyrics to "Kernkraft 400" are evocative and powerful, conveying a sense of dystopian horror through their repetition and simplicity. While they may not be particularly profound or poetic, they are effective in their ability to create a mood and reinforce the overall theme of the song.
