Zebrahead spent summer 2006 on the Warped Tour while their new album Broadcast to the World was released in Europe on July 3 through the German based record company SPV. The album which had come out in February of the same year in Japan, went gold in just over a month's time.
Due to Zebrahead's growing popularity in Japan, Matty Lewis and Zebrahead bandmate Ali Tabatabaee were asked by SEGA to record vocals for a new theme song, entitled "His World", which appears in the game Sonic The Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The entire band later recorded an alternate version of the song for the vocal soundtrack.
The rest of 2006 was spent touring Europe and the US as part of the Broadcast To The World Tour.
In March 2007, the band took two months off to begin writing new material for their, currently as of yet, untitled new studio album. The band later returned to Europe in May on a co-healine tour with MxPx and a headline UK tour. From June - July of the same year, Zebrahead toured America, supporting Unwritten Law with the band Bullets and Octane. On completion of the tour, Zebrahead spent more time writing material for their new album which had a planned release date of February, 2008.
Recently, after several of the active users at MFZB.com made it apparent they were in need of update from the band during this 'quiet' period, Zebrahead responded by posting a video update to YouTube which was promised as "the first of many". The video talks about the writing/recording process and has an update on Zebrahead's official fanclub.
October 2007 saw the return of Zebrahead to the UK as part of the annual Get Happy Tour where they shared the stage with Army of Freshmen, The Bloodhound Gang and Bowling For Soup. Zebrahead will be returning to Download 2008 (UK) after their first appearance in 2006. For the rest of 2007 the band continued to write songs for the new album. Demos were recorded and received input from Jason Freese of Green Day fame.
In March 2008 Zebrahead entered the studio and recorded 18 songs for their new album. The first two songs, including "Art Of Breaking Up" were recorded with Howard Benson, while the remaining 16 were recorded with Cameron Webb. Zebrahead released clips giving an insight into the making of the album the same month.
June saw Zebrahead return to the UK and Europe to headline a tour and play certain festival dates including Download, Leeds Slam Dunk Festival and Greenfield Festival. Several new songs from the upcoming album are likely to make their debut appearance in live form.
On May 17th 2008, it was revealed via the band's MySpace tagline that the upcoming album would be entitled "Phoenix". A day later, Zebrahead's fan blog, Postcards From Hell, revealed that the first single from the album would be entitled "Mental Health" and its music video was be directed by Elliot Dillman of Pandaworks.
In August 2010, Zebrahead has confirmed through video updates on their website that they have begun writing a new studio album. In the video, Ali Tabatabaee said that the band intends on entering the studio to record before the end of the year, and it has been mentioned through Twitter that the projected release date is early 2011.

Zebrahead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can bury my heart with your box of lies
Cut me down to size, it's no surprise
You can stab me in the back and then cut all ties
Gimme an "F", gimme a "U"
Gimme a "CK YOU"
Read between the lines, I guess love is blind
I hate long goodbyes, fuck off and die
You can bury my heart with your box of lies
Come on, pose with me in this sick machine
It looks like I'm going down in this murder scene
Try and try to bend and break me
I won't feel anything
Try and try to suffocate me
No pleasure like the pain
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, Down, Down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
I can't wait to bring you
Down, down, down, down
Gimme a "U", gimme an "R"
Gimme "A Bitch" yeah you are
Don't pretend to cry, kiss your ass, goodbye
I got 99 reasons why
Cut me down to size, it's no surprise
You can stab me in the back and then cut all ties
Come on, punish me if it's what you need
Tie me up, break me down, you can watch me bleed
Try and try to bend and break me
I won't feel anything
Try and try to suffocate me
No pleasure like the pain
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, Down, Down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
I can't wait to bring you
Down, down, down, down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, down, down, down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, down, down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
I can't wait to bring you
Down, down, down, down
The lyrics of Zebrahead's song "Sirens" are about a relationship that has gone bad. The singer expresses his anger and frustration towards his partner who has betrayed him. He uses profanity and sarcasm to express his feelings towards the person. He sings about how he hates long goodbyes and doesn't want to go through that with his partner. He wants his partner to leave him alone and not bother him anymore. The line "Gimme an 'F', gimme a 'U', gimme a 'CK YOU'" is a direct message to his ex-partner, telling them to leave him alone. He talks about how he won't let his partner break him, and he won't feel anything even if they try to hurt him.
The rest of the song talks about the idea of war and how everything is fair in love and war. The lyrics to "Down, down, down" give the impression of impending doom, like everything is going to end badly. The sirens he talks about could be interpreted as warning sounds of potential danger. It's a metaphorical representation of the problems he's been experiencing in his relationship. Overall, the song captures the essence of how painful relationships can end up being.
Line by Line Meaning
I hate long goodbyes, fuck off and die
I dislike lengthy farewells, so just leave and perish
You can bury my heart with your box of lies
Your deceitful behavior can bury my feelings
Cut me down to size, it's no surprise
You're trying to humiliate me, but I'm not shocked
You can stab me in the back and then cut all ties
You can betray me and sever our relationship
Gimme an "F", gimme a "U"
Gimme a "CK YOU"
I want you to know that I don't have any positive emotions towards you
Read between the lines, I guess love is blind
You need to understand that love makes people ignorant
Want me to spell it out for you?
Do you need me to explain it to you more clearly?
Come on, pose with me in this sick machine
It looks like I'm going down in this murder scene
Join me in this risky situation that seems like a violent crime might occur
Try and try to bend and break me
I won't feel anything
You can keep trying to harm me, but it won't affect me emotionally
Try and try to suffocate me
No pleasure like the pain
You may attempt to choke me, but I find gratification in hurting
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, Down, Down
I'm hearing emergency alarms, and there is no distinction between what's fair in romance and conflict, and words can have a powerful impact
I can't wait to bring you
Down, down, down, down
I'm excited about taking you down and ruining you
Gimme a "U", gimme an "R"
Gimme "A Bitch" yeah you are
Don't pretend to cry, kiss your ass, goodbye
I got 99 reasons why
I'm asking for the letters that form the word 'you are' a female dog, so don't act like you're sad, accept your fate, and leave because there are plenty of reasons for me to dislike you
Come on, punish me if it's what you need
Tie me up, break me down, you can watch me bleed
If tormenting me satisfies you, then go ahead and restrain me, harm me, and observe my suffering
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, down, down
Emergency alarms are ringing, all's fair in love and conflict, and there is damage being caused by hurtful words
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
I can't wait to bring you
Down, down, down, down
I'm eager to harm you because everything is justifiable in love and warfare, as more sirens sound in the background
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, down, down, down
Police, ambulance, and fire alarms are blaring, indicating chaos and destruction in both love and war
I can't wait to bring you
Down, down, down, down
I'm excited to put you in your place and ruin you

I hate long goodbyes, fuck off and die
You could bury my heart with your box of lies
Cut me down to size, it's no surprise
You could stab me in the back and cut all ties
Gimme an F, gimme a U, gimme C, K, Y, O, U

Want me to spell it out for you?
I hate long goodbyes, fuck off and die
You could bury my heart with your box of lies
C'mon, move with me, you're a sick machine
Looks like I'm going down in this murder scene
They try and try to bend and break me
I won't feel anything
Try and try to suffocate me
No pleasure like the pain
Sirens are calling, all's fair in love and war
and words like bombs are falling down, down, down, down
Sirens are calling, all's fair in love and war
and I can't wait to bring you down, down, down, down, down
Gimme a U, gimme an R, gimme yup, it's yeah, you are
Don't pretend to cry, kiss your ass goodbye
I've got ninety nine reasons now
Cut me down to size, it's no surprise
You could stab me in the back and cut all time
Promise me this is what you need
Tear me up, break me down and watch me bleed
They try and try to bend and break me
I won't feel anything
Try and try to suffocate me
No pleasure like the pain
Sirens are calling, all's fair in love and war
and words like bombs are falling down, down, down, down
Sirens are calling, all's fair in love and war
and I can't wait to bring you down, down, down, down, down

@jakd.rabbit
Still rocking with Zebrahead after all these years. Thanks Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for introducing this backwoods Tennessee kid to these guys all those years ago. FYI, it's been 17 years since that game and I'm only a year older than their album Waste Of Mind (1998); let that sink in.
@MegaDrella
Jamas paren de hacer música. Hace años que los escucho y siempre hay algo de zh en mí.
