Zombie Apocalypse
Kirby Krackle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm walking in the mini mart there's food on the floor
There's carts everywhere, there's blood on the door
I just want to buy some snacks and get back home
But these ghouls are trying to eat my bones

When I finally get home I turn on the TV
The undead on the evening news is all I can see
So I pop in a movie and I try to relax
Listen to me while I tell you some facts

Fact

The Zombie Apocalypse is messing up my week
The internet is always down,
Can't update the Twitter stream
The Zombie Apocalypse,
It wouldn't be so bad
If these zombies hadn't bitten my mom & dad
I decapitated them and now they're buried in back

I called my friend to see if he could come by my place
By the time he reached my door he was missing his face
I feel kind of bad that I did not let him in
But without his lips he still had a grin

The Zombie Apocalypse is messing up my week
It's hard to watch the Daily Show
Over all the cries and screams
Zombie Apocalypse,
I'd rather fight a shark
I read in a book that you can punch 'em in the eye
But sharks aren't my problem, yeah, and zombies are

I've never seen so many girls outside without their clothes on
Normally I'd think that's awesome but it's actually a turn off
Cause I'm not in to necrophilia, that's a fact

Zombies moving slow, I feel like Jackie Joyner Kersey
Like the popular kid in school and everybody wants a piece of me
But they can't, cause I like my pieces intact

It's getting kinda lonely out here by myself
Food's running low, there's dust on the shelf




But at least I have the voices arguing in my head
Which is much better than being undead

Overall Meaning

Kirby Krackle's song "Zombie Apocalypse" describes the life of a protagonist who is trying to survive amidst a catastrophic scenario of a zombie outbreak. The song follows the singer through his journey as he tries to buy some snacks from a mini mart, watches the evening news, and tries to relax by watching movies. But his attempt to live a normal life is interrupted because of the zombie apocalypse. He finds out that his parents have been bitten by zombies and were decapitated, and his friend was turned into a zombie. The situation gets so bad that even girls outside without their clothes don't seem attractive anymore. The singer also mentions that he has to fight for his survival and keep his parts intact, as everyone wants a piece of him. The song ends with the singer admitting that he's alone, and although there are voices arguing in his head, it's better than being undead.


The song is an allegory for how people in society try to live a normal life despite the chaos and apocalyptic situations around them. The line "I just want to buy some snacks and get back home, but these ghouls are trying to eat my bones," represent how people still want to work, socialize, and run errands despite the difficulties, but are always under threat from external factors that interrupt their everyday life. The singer's decapitation of his zombie parents also highlights the theme of self-preservation, how people can do what is necessary for their survival, and save themselves from danger.

Carts are scattered about and there's blood smeared on the door


I just want to buy some snacks and get back home
I wish to purchase snacks and return home


But these ghouls are trying to eat my bones
Though, these ghouls hungrily aim to devour me whole


When I finally get home I turn on the TV
I've reached my dwelling and switch on the TV


The undead on the evening news is all I can see
Only sighted upon the news are the undead


So I pop in a movie and I try to relax
In attempts to unwind, I commence a film


Listen to me while I tell you some facts
Allow me to expound empirical evidence


The Zombie Apocalypse is messing up my week
The Zombie Apocalypse is negatively impacting my week


The internet is always down, Can't update the Twitter stream
Internet never functions properly and tweeting's not feasible


It wouldn't be so bad, If these zombies hadn't bitten my mom & dad
The situation would be practically tolerable if these zombies hadn't bitten mom and dad


I decapitated them and now they're buried in back
I beheaded them and they currently rest in backyards soil


I called my friend to see if he could come by my place
I called my friend to solicit his companionship


By the time he reached my door he was missing his face
Upon arrival, his face had been stripped from his visage


I feel kind of bad that I did not let him in
I remorsefully refused to permit him entry


But without his lips he still had a grin
Although his lips were absent, he still managed to smile


It's hard to watch the Daily Show, Over all the cries and screams
The Daily Show is difficult to watch among all the piercing shrieks


Zombie Apocalypse, I'd rather fight a shark
Fighting off sharks appears preferred rather than the Zombie Apocalypse


I read in a book that you can punch 'em in the eye
One publication suggested punching the zombie wicked in the eye


But sharks aren't my problem, yeah, and zombies are
Sharks aren't a concern of mine, but certainly zombies are


I've never seen so many girls outside without their clothes on
I've never once observed the pervasiveness of unclad females outdoors


Normally I'd think that's awesome but it's actually a turn off
Though generally, it's impressive, but currently, it's off-putting


Cause I'm not into necrophilia, that's a fact
As established knowledge, I needn't indulge in necrophilia


Zombies moving slow, I feel like Jackie Joyner Kersey
The zombies move leisurely essentially creating an easier scenario for me


Like the popular kid in school and everybody wants a piece of me
It's similar to being the popular student at school where everyone wants a piece of attention


But they can't, cause I like my pieces intact
Their desire remains unfulfilled as I prefer to keep my parts attached


It's getting kinda lonely out here by myself
It's increasingly lonely when alone outside


Food's running low, there's dust on the shelf
Scarcity of nourishment present, additionally, shelves are dusty


But at least I have the voices arguing in my head
However, inner dialogue provides company but not always positively


Which is much better than being undead
Recent companionship within my mind exceeds the bleak reality of being lifeless

I've watched this video a few times now, but this was the first time I've noticed that Jim's shirt changes from Green Lantern to Black Lantern. That is awesome.
