Eyes wide shut, walking in the zombie world
You find a way, meet me ‘cause I’m having fun
Save my place, meet me in the morning sun

The lyrics of "Zombie World" by Gypsy & The Cat describe the feeling of being trapped in a lifeless and dreary existence, where individuals are only half-aware of their surroundings and have lost touch with their own emotions, essentially becoming zombies. The repetition of "eyes wide shut" suggests a willful ignorance or avoidance of reality, as though the characters are sleepwalking through their lives. The plea to "meet me in the morning sun" implies a desire to escape this world and find a more vibrant and meaningful existence. The repeated phrase "zombie world" serves as a haunting reminder of the pervasive sense of emptiness and apathy that permeates this society.
The song has a dreamy and hypnotic quality, enhanced by the repetitive lyrics and pulsing beats. The use of electronic and synth instrumentation creates a feeling of detachment and otherworldliness, while also reflecting the artificial and machine-like nature of the society being described. The use of the word "fun" in the chorus adds a layer of irony to the song, as though the only pleasure that can be found in this world is through a kind of numb enjoyment.
