"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.
Wait
Woh what
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Try to recognize
That your thoughts are wrong sided
In the nation divided
While criminals decided
How history would teach
What the pastor would preach
Keep the means out of reach
For the folks at the bottom
Is it me that I'm looking after
Or am I so callous
That I don't know the difference between
Earth and malice
Is it me that I'm looking after
Or am I so callous
That I don't know the difference between
Earth and malice
Is it me that I'm looking after
Or am I so callous
That I don't know the difference between
Earth and malice
God walked the earth and said
Wait
Would it be good if I wasn't so great
What if I split myself into little selves
And fucked around on myselves
Wait
Is it me that I'm looking after
Or am I so callous
That I don't know the difference between
Earth and malice
Wait
Woh what
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Try to recognize
That your thoughts are wrong sided
In the nation divided
While criminals decided
How history would teach
What the pastor would preach
Keep the means out of reach
For the folks at the bottom
Is it me that I'm looking after
Or am I so callous
That I don't know the difference between
Earth and malice
Is it me that I'm looking after
Or am I so callous
That I don't know the difference between
Earth and malice
Is it me that I'm looking after
Or am I so callous
That I don't know the difference between
Earth and malice
God walked the earth and said
Wait
Would it be good if I wasn't so great
What if I split myself into little selves
And fucked around on myselves
Wait
Is it me that I'm looking after
Or am I so callous
That I don't know the difference between
Earth and malice
Wait

Sunglasses at Night

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.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
Blank Space
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
