Zombies
Mureau Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going back to sleep.
This world behind my eyes is what i seek.
Please stay away from me.
Leave all my troubles behind in the real world.
I'm gaining nothing from this hurting.
Don't cry when you find me rested.
I'll be lost in a dream where its painless.
I'll help you fight for your life while you got one.
Keep my memory among the good ones.
Don't cry when you find me rested.
I'll be lost in a dream where it's painless.




I'll help you fight for your life while you got one.
Keep my memory among the good ones.

The line "I'll help you fight for your life while you got one" shows that the singer is not completely giving up on reality, but instead choosing to temporarily retreat from it. The last lines, "Keep my memory among the good ones" further emphasize the idea of nostalgia and memory, and how important it is to hold onto good memories during difficult times.
