Zombie
Unveiling the Haunting Message: Zombie's Silent Cry
Lyrics
Another head hangs lowly
Another person is feeling defeated or despondent.
Child is slowly taken
A child is being taken away slowly, suggesting a gradual loss or tragedy.
And the violence caused such silence
Violence has led to a profound silence, likely highlighting the impact of conflict.
Who are we mistaken?
Raising the question of who is misunderstood or misjudged in the situation.
But you see, it's not me
The speaker distances themselves, claiming they are not responsible.
It's not my family
The speaker denies involvement of their family in the conflict.
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
Imagery of internal conflict; thoughts filled with battles and struggles.
With their tanks and their bombs
Reference to military elements, highlighting the severity of the conflict.
And their bombs and their guns
Continuation of the military imagery, emphasizing the destructive power.
In your head, in your head, they are crying
Conflict persists in the mind, causing emotional distress.
In your head, in your head
Repetition of the internal conflict, possibly referring to persistent thoughts.
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
Introduction of the term "Zombie," metaphorically describing a detached, lifeless state.
What's in your head, in your head?
Pose a question about the contents of one's thoughts or consciousness.
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
Reiteration of the "Zombie" metaphor, emphasizing a haunting or lifeless presence.
Do, do, do, do
Repetitive chanting, possibly emphasizing the persistence of the described situation.
Do, do, do, do
-Do, do, do, do

-Another mother's breaking
Another mother is experiencing heartbreak or sorrow.
Heart is taking over
The heartbreak is overwhelming or taking control.
When the violence causes silence
When violence leads to silence, there is a potential misunderstanding.
We must be mistaken
Raising doubt about the accuracy of the perceived situation.
It's the same old theme
Recurrence of a long-standing theme, possibly referring to historical conflicts.
Since nineteen-sixteen
Referencing a theme persisting since 1916, suggesting ongoing conflicts through time.
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
Conflict still prevails in the mind, echoing historical battles.
With their tanks and their bombs
Reference to military elements, underlining the enduring nature of conflict.
And their bombs and their guns
Continuation of military imagery, emphasizing the destructive power that lingers.
In your head, in your head, they are dying
Despite conflict persisting, there is a sense of inevitability and acceptance of death.
In your head, in your head
Repetition of the internal conflict, emphasizing the haunting presence of the "Zombie."
