Jesus Was a Zombie
Zombie Girl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jesus was a zombie
Jesus was a zombie, yeah
Jesus was a zombie
Back from the dead just like me

He is dead, but he's walking
Walking just like you and me
He came back and he's talking
Talking shit like you and me
We are the same,
Mr. jesus and i
A testament of the living dead
Famous singer, its all the same
He was dead, yet back he came

Jesus was a zombie
Jesus was a zombie, yeah
Jesus was a zombie
Back from the dead just like me

He got nailed, nailed to a cross
Paid the price for his glorified cause
I cannot blame him for coming back to life
Its much more fun in the afterlife

I can feel him lurking in dark
I can hear him walking in the shadows
Its not simple getting use to the slushies
I will guide him, through the fields of disposable heads
Through the fields of disposable heads
Through the fields of disposable heads

(3x)
Jesus was a zombie
Jesus was a zombie, yeah




Jesus was a zombie
Back from the dead just like me

Overall Meaning

The song "Jesus Was a Zombie" by Zombie Girl is an unconventional take on the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The song is a testament of the living dead and compares the resurrection of Jesus to a zombie coming back to life. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize that Jesus is no different from the singer, as both are walking dead. The line "He is dead, but he's walking, walking just like you and me" refers to the fact that Jesus was resurrected, but is still technically dead. The chorus of the song is the recurring assertion that Jesus was a zombie who has come back from the dead just like the singer.


The second verse of the song gives a sarcastic take on the crucifixion of Jesus. The singer says that Jesus got nailed to a cross, paid the price for his glorified cause, and that he cannot blame Jesus for coming back to life since it is much more fun in the afterlife. The bridge of the song reveals that the singer can feel Jesus lurking in the dark and hear him walking in the shadows. The line "Through the fields of disposable heads" is likely a metaphor for navigating the societal norms and judgments placed upon the living dead.


Overall, "Jesus Was a Zombie" can be interpreted as a commentary on society's obsession with death and the fascination with the afterlife. The lyrics suggest that death and resurrection are not unique experiences, and that we are all just walking the earth in a state of living death.
