I died last night
Tripped over my own shoelaces
I broke my spine
Fell on the sidewalk
And I landed on my face
And I thought
What a way to go
After all I've seen
Can't just press un-do
I've become a zombie me

Now I slide down the street
With no shoes on my feet
Looking for brains to eat
I'm a zombie me

Tried to say hi
But all of my earthly charm had gone
She floated by
So distracted with the sound
Of her own cell phone
I said go ahead and walk away
I have all I need
Now I speak with all the
Eloquence of livestock
And I've become a zombie me

Now I slide down the street
With no shoes on my feet
Looking for brains to eat
I'm a zombie me

We got some zombies comin out the ground
We goin pound for pound with a cleric around yo
Become a zombie, be cool like Fonzie
I know you wanna get on me when I say “Come on, Archie”
Let's go see Vigo ask some people that he know
I got Ghostbusters 2 in the queue on the TiVo
I got the fever for the flavor of a human brain
And all the zombies in the house say Oh
And all the zombies in the house say Eh Eh Oh

What a way to go
After all I've seen
Can't just press un-do
I've become a zombie me

Now I slide down the street
With no shoes on my feet
Looking for brains to eat
I'm a zombie me

Now we're recruiting new meat
As we march to the beat
Now the army's complete
I'm a zombie me

    Only one of the best, there's always "RE: Your Brains" for more zombie goodness

    Song Meaning

    This song is perfect for the album its on... anyone who is fond of well written metaphors in song writing needs to hear this whole album in order.

    Verse one, the story of becoming a "zombie", the singer trips over his shoelaces and "dies". This is similar to what we see when we log on to facebook and see our friends, acting like their life is over because someone dumped them, or their iphone wouldn't text in the bathroom. It represents everything encapsulated in "fml"... Tripping on your shoelaces is embarrassing, but if you just tie your shoes and get over it, there's no reason you should have to remember it even happening.. and definitely no reason you have to let the incident come between anyone you care about. "Can't just press undo" means that the character in still trying to move forward, while still feeling the shock he's recently been through.

    Verse two proves the metaphor. If the singer were a "real" zombie, he would not "have all he needs" as she floats by, distracted by her cell phone. When we're holding on to the damage of our past, we become unattractive to any potential future lovers. We "speak with all the eloquence of livestock" as we try to impress a person we don't internally feel worthy to be with.

    To FURTHER prove the metaphor, the rap verse describes the "all I need" mentioned in the previous verse... Having been rejected, our zombie enjoys the life of the undead, re-watching the same old stories(Happy Days, All in the Family, Ghostbusters 2) on TV and seeking out the company of others with no compulsion to create their own art of any sort.

    The last version of the chorus would hook hardest those people who just don't get any of this. "Recruiting new meet as we march to the beat, now our army's complete." This could translate metaphorically to meeting new friends based on nothing more than media interest, who are equally cut off from their inner light of creativity... which is surprisingly common in a country that was "land of the free" before Reagan's zombie army stamped out the smolder of those ashes...

    This is a very lighthearted and funny song, but also very carefully considered and well executed.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
