"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.
That's my energy, big dick energy
Never let a fake ho get in front of me
Bitch, you better let go, you can't take the heat
That's my energy, big dick energy
Superstar, I'm a superstar
When I walk in, the room go dark
Took your girl and I don't feel sorry, no way, just playin'
Don't be scared of me havin' fun
A-B-C-D-E, F you want? Cup of Hennessy
And a blunt like a fog machine
Can't name one bitch who drip like me
That's my energy, big dick energy
Never let a fake ho get in front of me
Bitch, you better let go, you can't take the heat
That's my energy, big dick energy
That's my energy, big dick energy
Never let a fake ho get in front of me
Bitch, you better let go, you can't take the heat
That's my energy, big dick energy
12 inches, take a poll
I'm uncut, out of control
Stroke of genius, 'bout to blow like you never seen before
Once a week, post on Instagram and they be screamin', "Goals"
I be busy breakin' molds, catchin' ice, I'm too cold
Yeah, frappuccino mocha, don't give me granola
I might turn my back on you, beach, like Corona
Beamer or Corolla, can't fuck up my aura
I got so much balls, you could call it tapioca
I got all these cameras all around me
Always TMZ in my vicinity (Don't stop)
They be tryna bling on my frequency (Smash, smash)
Got my fingers covered in Swarovski
Champagne breath in the party (Party)
Fendi balls hangin' from my car keys (Car keys)
How do I put this harshly? (Harshly)
Play a fake bitch like a Barbie (Okay)
I'ma just drop it like it's hot, quick
For the 7 million fans that I be with
You wanna be slick, but you could not fit
So you better put it back in your sock, prick
Don't be scared of me havin' fun (Havin' fun)
A-B-C-D-E, F you want? (F you want?) Cup of Hennessy
And a blunt (And a blunt) like a fog machine
Can't name one (Can't name one) bitch who drip like me
That's my energy, big dick energy
Never let a fake ho get in front of me
Bitch, you better let go, you can't take the heat
That's my energy, big dick energy
That's my energy, big dick energy
Never let a fake ho get in front of me
Bitch, you better let go, you can't take the heat
That's my energy, big dick energy
Never let a fake ho get in front of me
Bitch, you better let go, you can't take the heat
That's my energy, big dick energy
Superstar, I'm a superstar
When I walk in, the room go dark
Took your girl and I don't feel sorry, no way, just playin'
Don't be scared of me havin' fun

@[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.
