Zombie
The Divine Young Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Child is slowly taken
And if islands cause the silence
Who are we mistaking
But you see it′s not me
It's not my family
In your head in your head
They are fighting
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are crying...
In your head...
In your head...
Zombie zombie zombie ei ei
What′s in your head...
In your head...
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh... do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Another mother's breaking heart is taking over ... the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
Its the same old thing since 1916
In your head in your head
Their still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are dying...
The Divine Young Stars's song "Zombie" is a stirring commentary on the senseless violence and conflict that plagues our world. The song's opening lyrics "Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken" paint a picture of a world where innocent lives are lost due to war and conflict. The line "And if islands cause the silence, who are we mistaking" is a powerful indictment of the futility of war and the need for unity and mutual understanding.
The chorus "In your head, in your head, they are fighting with their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns" highlights the devastating impact of war on both sides, as people lose their loved ones and are forced to endure unimaginable trauma. The repetition of the word "Zombie" throughout the song emphasizes the loss of humanity that occurs during times of war and conflict.
Overall, "Zombie" serves as a poignant reminder of the need for peace and understanding in our world, and a call to action to work towards a future where violence and conflict are no longer the norm.
