Short, moody, and abrasive, “Hype Zombies” serves as the 5th track on “Evergreen”, and calls out the people that tried to drag Lynn and PVRIS down, only to change their tune when it’s convenient. The song stands out structurally from many of the others on the album, with an instrumental break follow...
[Verse]
I've been takin' notes of everyone who went and stepped on me
Dug a couple graves, they got their names up by the mausoleum
Kiss ‘em all goodbye, look in the eyes while I say, "Rest in peace"
Give just what you get, place your bets, it's my destiny
I've been takin' notes of everyone who went and stepped on me
Dug a couple graves, they got their names up by the mausoleum
Kiss ‘em all goodbye, look in the eyes while I say, "Rest in peace"
Give just what you get, place your bets, it's my destiny
[Chorus]
I let it slide every time, but that’s on me
I let it die, then decide what you told me
When it's time, when it's right, yeah, you want me
When it's time, I'll be back like a zombie
Let it slide every time, but that’s on me
I let it die, then decide what you told me
When it's time, when it's right, yeah, you want me
When it's time, I'll be back like a zombie
[Post-Chorus]
Ah!
[Outro]

HYPE ZOMBIES was written by Lynn Gunn.
PVRIS released HYPE ZOMBIES on Fri Jul 14 2023.
This song is sort of like the monologue of the dark side of your ego, as if its thoughts were personified or…zombie-fied.
