Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zombie's song "Zombie" are quite dark and cryptic, with the repetition of the phrase "I Zombie" creating a sense of eerie detachment from reality. The repeated line "I Zombie cancer raging" seems to reference the destructive nature of cancer as it ravages a person's body from within. The line "I Zombie crucify" could be interpreted as the singer feeling persecuted or put upon in some way, possibly by society or the people around them. The line "I Zombie do not die" is particularly striking, as it suggests an immortality or inability to be killed, which is consistent with the idea of the singer being some kind of zombie.


The following verses continue with this theme of a relentless, unstoppable force embodied by the singer. The phrase "kill machine" suggests that whoever is speaking is a weaponized version of a zombie, while "never seen" and "never you" create a sense of unfamiliarity or otherness. The final line of the second verse, "I Zombie coming through," adds to this sense of inexorable forward motion, further emphasizing the unstoppable nature of the singer.


The final verse continues to build on this idea of a dehumanized, inhuman force bent on destruction. The phrases "duplicating" and "eliminating" suggest a never-ending cycle of replication and erasure, while "fucking you" could be interpreted as a sexually charged threat or simply a violent act of domination. The final line, "I Zombie never through," brings the song full circle, echoing the earlier line "I Zombie do not die" and emphasizing the singer's immortality and indestructibility.

Lyrics:
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

Du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du

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

It's the same old theme
Since nineteen-sixteen
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, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ie-ie oh

@Supernatural_technology_DNA

this song is also about alien invasion
"Abortion" is the destruction of humanity.
----------
I am alarmed about the danger of human extinction in the future.
Humanity is facing an extremely complex, Elaborate invasion.
--------------
Invasion of the earth in silence.
"Abortion" is the best way to destroy the future of humanity.
Humanity is facing a war against falsehoods that want to destroy innocent unborn children.
-----------------


No need to use starships or rockets to destroy another world!
I have a better way: Use quantum entanglement technology to control the minds of people in other worlds to destroy their unborn children.

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
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie

Another mother's breaking heart
Is taken 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
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
