"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.
Eu vivo mudando de opinião
Teias de aranha habitam meu coração
Pessoas tão honestas vagando pelas ruas
Me fazem lembrar que eu não passo de um canalha
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu já tentei de tudo
Pra me modificar
Os vícios eu larguei
Até Deus fui procurar
Mas num mundo tão sincero
Não há lugar pra mim
Todos dizem a verdade
Só eu sou falso assim
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Teias de aranha habitam meu coração
Pessoas tão honestas vagando pelas ruas
Me fazem lembrar que eu não passo de um canalha
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu já tentei de tudo
Pra me modificar
Os vícios eu larguei
Até Deus fui procurar
Mas num mundo tão sincero
Não há lugar pra mim
Todos dizem a verdade
Só eu sou falso assim
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto
Eu não presto

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

The Last Dance

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
