On “Zombie!”, Orla sings about being with someone who represses everything they feel and never let’s it come to the surface, and what that’s like for her.

Zombie! Lyrics

[Intro]
When all of your body's burning up
When all of your body's burning up
You live like a zombie
Turn it off, and push it down
And it comes back 'round again
When all of your body's burning up
When all of your body's burning up
You live like a zombie
Turn it off, and push it down
And it comes back 'round again

[Verse 1]
You're not a bad guy, not a bad guy
But you do this all the damn time
You go quiet and you fight it
You don't know how to feel
All of this rage in your hands
Passed on down from your old man
And now somehow it's my fault

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, who is this monster on the phone?
Jacked up on your testosterone
And I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it

[Chorus]
Oh, when all of your body's burning up
When all of your body's burning up
You live like a zombie
Turn it off, push it down
And it comes back 'round again
When your body's burning up
When all of your body's burning up
You livе like a zombie
Turn it off and push it down

[Verse 2]
Take your timе, take your time
'Cause babe what's yours is mine
All your drama and your trauma
That you hide from the boys
If I say that I'll stay then I'll stay
But I can't sit here watching you wasting away

[Chorus]
Oh, when all of your body's burning up
When all of your body's burning up
You live like a zombie
Turn it off, push it down
And it comes back 'round again
When your body's burning up
When all of your body's burning up
You live like a zombie
Turn it off and push it down

[Bridge]
Push it down

[Outro]
When all of your body's burning up
When all of your body's burning up
You live like a zombie
Turn it off, push it down
When all of your body's burning up
When all of your body's burning up
You live like a zombie
Turn it off and push it down

What did Orla Gartland say about "Zombie!"?

“Zombie!” is about repressing emotions until one day they burst out of you all at once. Specifically it’s about a very common, very male kind of repression I witnessed in a boy I loved once—I could see that he felt things but there was a barrier stopping him from expressing them. I hated that for hi...

What have the artists said about the song?

track 5, ‘zombie’ – RAUCOUS. aw man this is going to go off live, I feel it.

lol this scream at the end of ‘zombie’ was one of the most guttural sounds that has ever come out of me

I wanted it to feel years of pent-up emotion, all coming to the surface at once
