Zombieland
Megaherz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stumme Schatten, graue Diener
Die Welt zerbricht ins Nichts
Leere Straßen, wüstes Land
Niemand, der noch spricht
Die Hoffnung aufs gelobte Land
Entschwindet, längst verloren
Generation abgebrannt
Moral verfault und stinkt

Nichts ist mehr wie's früher einmal war

Willkommen im Zombieland
Vom Paradies verbannt
Mehr tot als wahr

Ferngelenkt und ausgelaugt
Der Himmel schwarz wie Teer
Selektiert und ausgetauscht
Die Hüllen menschenleer
Scheinbar tot, mehr tot als wahr
Die Augen stumpf und kalt
Infiltriertes Menschenheer
Die Zukunft aberkannt

Willkommen im Zombieland
Vom Paradies verbannt
Mehr tot als wahr
Dem Tod so nah

Willkommen im Zombieland
Die Zukunft aberkannt
Mehr tot als wahr
Mehr tot als wahr

Willkommen im Zombieland
Generationen abgebrannt

Mehr tot als wahr
Mehr tot als wahr

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Megaherz's song Zombieland describe a terrifying and nihilistic world that has been devastated by some sort of apocalypse. The imagery used in the lyrics is vivid and shocking, describing empty streets, a desolate landscape and a population that has been reduced to mindless, zombie-like creatures. The first verse describes the collapse of society, with "stumme Schatten," or silent shadows, and "graue Diener," or gray servants, representing the bleak emptiness that pervades this world. The second verse then goes on to describe the loss of hope for a better future, as the "gelobte Land," or promised land, is now nothing but a distant memory.

The chorus of the song further emphasizes the despair and hopelessness of this world. The repetition of the phrase "Willkommen im Zombieland," or "Welcome to Zombieland," serves to reinforce the idea that there is no escape from this reality. The lyrics also suggest that this is a world that has been abandoned by God, with mankind left to suffer the consequences of their own actions. The song ends with a final reminder that in this world, death is never far away and that life itself has been reduced to a kind of living death.
