Zombie
Whoshafee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head
They are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head
They are crying

In your head
In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head
In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie, oh

Another mother's breaking heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head
They are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head
In your head




Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

Whoshafee's song, "Zombie," is a powerful statement about violence and its impact on innocents, particularly children. The opening verse sets the somber tone, as "another head hangs lowly" and "a child is slowly taken." The singer then questions, "Who are we mistaken?" implying that the violence is unnecessary and born out of some kind of misunderstanding.


The chorus of the song is hauntingly simple, repeating "In your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie" over and over again. The word "zombie" is presented as a representation of those who perpetrate senseless acts of violence, seemingly oblivious to the suffering they cause.


The second verse brings up the idea of generational conflict, referencing the Easter Rising of 1916 in Ireland. The cycle of violence continues, with people still fighting and dying. The final repetition of the chorus suggests that this cycle is perpetual, and that perhaps we are all zombies, trapped in a cycle of violence that we cannot escape.


Overall, "Zombie" is a powerful critique of violence and its impact, presented in a poignant and memorable way.
