Zombies
Tara Perdida Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mais dia menos dia
Todos os mortos se vão erguer
Todos eles se vão vingar
De quem os andou a foder

Vêm com raiva na mente
Todos eles querem mudança
Está na hora da vingança
Está na hora da matança

Quero ver dilacerar
E arder em fogo lento
Ver o povo a gemer, gritar
Sentir o tormento

Zombies

Andando pela rua
Devorando carne crua
Espalhando o terror
Derramando sangue e dor

Muito tempo se passou
Mas nada se esqueceu
A ferida não sarou
A ferida que abriu

Quero ver dilacerar
E arder em fogo lento
Ver o povo a gemer, gritar
Sentir o tormento





Zombies

Overall Meaning

The song "Zombies" by Tara Perdida portrays a dystopian world where the dead rise from their graves seeking revenge against those who mistreated them in life. The lyrics are powerful and intense, conveying a sense of anger and frustration towards the injustices and inequalities of society. The opening line of the song, "Mais dia menos dia / Todos os mortos se vão erguer" ("Sooner or later / All the dead will rise"), sets the mood for what's to come, as the song describes the zombies' violent rampage through the streets, devouring raw meat and spreading terror and bloodshed.


The lyrics are a metaphor for social and political oppression, with the zombies representing the downtrodden and the marginalized, who have been pushed to the brink and have no other way to express their rage but through violence. The lines "Vêm com raiva na mente / Todos eles querem mudança" ("They come with anger in their minds / They all want change") are a clear indication of this, as the zombies seek to overthrow the established order and create a new world where justice and equality prevail.


Despite the bleakness of the song's message, it is also a call to action, urging listeners to stand up and fight against tyranny and oppression. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "Zombies", serves as a unifying rallying cry, urging people to join together and resist the forces that seek to maintain the status quo.
