Lyrics
Another head hangs lowly
Another individual is feeling defeated or sorrowful.
Child is slowly taken
A child is being slowly abducted or harmed.
And the violence, caused such silence
Violence has led to a profound silence.
Who are we mistaken?
Who is misunderstood or wrongly identified?
But you see, it's not me
The speaker emphasizes that they are not the one responsible.
It's not my family
The speaker's family is also not accountable for the situation.
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
In the listener's thoughts, there is an imaginary battle.
With their tanks, and their bombs
There is a military presence with tanks and bombs.
And their bombs, and their guns
More weaponry is present, contributing to the conflict.
In your head, in your head they are crying
The mental image continues with cries in the mind.
In your head, in your head
Repetition of the idea that the battle is ongoing in one's thoughts.
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
Introduction of the term "Zombie" as a metaphor for a lifeless or numb state.
What's in your head, in your head
Questioning the thoughts and mental state of the listener.
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie, oh
Reiteration of the term "Zombie" with added emphasis.
Do, do, do, do
Repetitive musical interlude, possibly reflecting a sense of monotony or despair.
Do, do, do, do
-Do, do, do, do
-Do, do, do, do
-Another mother's breaking
Another mother is experiencing heartbreak or distress.
Heart is taking over
The emotional impact is becoming overwhelming.
When the violence causes silence
When violence leads to silence, there is a misunderstanding.
We must be mistaken
There is confusion or misinterpretation of the situation.
It's the same old theme
Referring to a recurring theme since the year 1916.
Since nineteen-sixteen
The continuation of a historical pattern of conflict in the mind.
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
The mental battle endures, with the use of tanks and bombs.
With their tanks, and their bombs
More military elements intensify the struggle.
And their bombs, and their guns
Continued representation of conflict and its escalation.
In your head, in your head, they are dying
The mental imagery extends to the death of thoughts or ideas.
In your head, in your head
Reiteration of the ongoing battle in the mind.
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
Reintroduction of the term "Zombie" with emphasis.
What's in your head, in your head
Questioning the contents of the listener's thoughts.
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
Repetition of the term "Zombie" with heightened emotion.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, ay, oh, ya ya
Expressive vocalizations that convey distress or despair.
