Grandma Became a Zombie
KRIILL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooooou
Speak to me
Show me that you care about a thing or two
Reach out to me
Now silence is your way to speak your mind
Get out your loop sometimes
You're getting old and fading out the things you do
We should take a walk someday
I hope you'll say a word before it ends
Oooooou
Give 'em a kiss sometime
Everyone is yelling out to speak to you
You became a zombie
Holding tight to integrate again
So you put on a smile today
Looking like you got the perfect word to say
But naturally
Silence is your way to speak your mind

Get out your loop sometimes
You became a zombie (tra tra)
Get out your loop sometimes
We should take a walk someday
You became a zombie
Speak to me
Get out your loop sometimes
Get out of your loop sometimes
You became a zombie




You became a
Oooooou

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Krill's song "Grandma Became a Zombie" reflect a struggle to connect with an aging loved one who has become increasingly distant and unresponsive. The opening lines, "Speak to me / Show me that you care about a thing or two / Reach out to me / Now silence is your way to speak your mind," express a desire for communication and emotional connection that seems to be lacking. The singer urges his grandmother to break out of her routine ("Get out your loop sometimes / You're getting old and fading out the things you do") and to take the initiative in their relationship ("We should take a walk someday / I hope you'll say a word before it ends"). The repeated line, "You became a zombie," suggests that the grandmother has become disconnected from her own emotions, and the use of the word "integrate" suggests a desire to reconnect with others.


The repeated refrain, "Get out your loop sometimes," can be interpreted as a call to break free from routine and stagnation, both on a personal level and in relationships with others. The line "But naturally / Silence is your way to speak your mind" is interesting because it suggests that the grandmother may have inner thoughts and feelings that she is unable to express verbally, perhaps due to a sense of isolation or depression. The line "Looking like you got the perfect word to say" highlights the discrepancy between outer appearance and inner reality, suggesting that the grandmother's attempts to appear "normal" may be masking deeper issues.


Overall, Krill's song "Grandma Became a Zombie" conveys a sense of frustration and sadness at the breakdown of a once-solid relationship, as well as a desire to reconnect and break free from routines and isolation.

Mia nonna ha appena compiuto novant'anni. Non cammina da tempo e spesso perde ogni contatto con la realtà. Non sa chi è, da dove viene; non riconosce i suoi figli e i suoi nipoti. Spesso resta immobile a fissare il vuoto.

Grazie, ragazzi, per aver cantato di una tematica tanto delicata quanto importante: la perdita di lucidità e la "zombieness" degli anziani, in generale.

No sé si puedan leer el comentario ya que está escrito en español pero, quiero decirles que desde la primera vez que los escuché despertaron en mi una admiración total. Un abrazo desde Colombia, espero algún día poder cantar algo con ustedes, cuando ya tenga más avanzada mi carrera musical.
Gracias por alegrarme con su música.
Con Cariño, Lu Pao
