PRETTY RECKLESS

- Zombie Lyrics

I'm not listening to you
I am wandering right through existence
With no purpose and no drive
'Cause in the end we're all alive, alive

Two thousand years I've been awake
Waiting for the day to shake

To all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lay, lay down dead

Blow the smoke right off the tube
Kiss my gentle burning bruise
I'm lost in time
And to all the people left behind

You are walking dumb and blind, blind
And two thousand years I've been awake
Waiting for the day to shake

Dear all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lay, lay down dead
Oh dead, Oh dead, Oh dead

To all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head

I am I am I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lie down dead

What is the meaning behind Zombie lyrics?


When we break down the message within the lyrics, the Pretty Reckless's track 'Zombie' depicts the feeling of existential despair and resentment towards the ones that have inflicted pain through the metaphor of a zombie representing a condition of being alive though dull and furious. Zombie lyrics are largely about angst, despair, anger, solitude and reflection. There is a parallel process happening, where the song presents existential despair, feeling wronged and betrayed, and suffering and endurance as its main themes, along with detachment and numbness. The lyrics have existentialism as one of their main themes, being a 'zombie' as one of the significant references, and death plus being 'dead' as one of the mentions which could be strong for the younger audiences. Besides that, the passage 'Kiss my gentle burning bruise' might be taken as somewhat provocative, thus justifying a PG-13 rating.

Where is a mistake in these lyrics. It must be ''How low How low How low you will push me'' NOT '' Hello hello hello you push me''
