"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
क्या सिला हम को मिला
था मैं क्या क्या हूँ बना
जो हुआ क्यूँ था लिखा
हम से रूठा खुद ही खुदा
ये मेरी कहानी
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
अजीब सा था सिलसिला
गेरोन ने किया मेरा फ़ैसला
जूठा मेरा ये मन
बन के मेरा दुश्मन
ओह बहकता रहा हर कदम
साँसें मेरी घूते दूं
तोड़ के बंदिश अभी उड़ना चाहूं
जकड़े मुझे मेरी ज़मीन
नहीं हूँ ना हो यकीन
क्या सिला हम को मिला
था मैं क्या क्या हूँ बना
जो हुआ क्यूँ था लिखा
हम से रूठा खुद ही खुदा
ये मेरी कहानी
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
क्या रहा बाकी बचा
जूठा मेरा हर अपना
ना मिला सुकून का पता
दर्द मिला हर लम्हा
ये मेरी कहानी
मेरे सारे वहेम हो हो
बस ढूंडू रहम हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
था मैं क्या क्या हूँ बना
जो हुआ क्यूँ था लिखा
हम से रूठा खुद ही खुदा
ये मेरी कहानी
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
अजीब सा था सिलसिला
गेरोन ने किया मेरा फ़ैसला
जूठा मेरा ये मन
बन के मेरा दुश्मन
ओह बहकता रहा हर कदम
साँसें मेरी घूते दूं
तोड़ के बंदिश अभी उड़ना चाहूं
जकड़े मुझे मेरी ज़मीन
नहीं हूँ ना हो यकीन
क्या सिला हम को मिला
था मैं क्या क्या हूँ बना
जो हुआ क्यूँ था लिखा
हम से रूठा खुद ही खुदा
ये मेरी कहानी
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो

Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
Its my birthday song हो हो
