Obviously, this song is about postmortem zombification.

The departed wishes for his girlfriend to heed his warning when he whines, "I'm about to come alive", alerting her that soon he will rise from his earthen grave and become a shambling undead, cursed with a quenchless urge to feast upon the brains of the living.

The first stanza tells of his horrific undead march, his former girlfriend trapped in the basement as he listens hungrily to her fearful, tear-laden voice calling for help from the inaccessible police. In the background, a terror-stricken infant calls out, and the zombie, awakened with new hunger, diverges to consume it. The theme continues as he reflects upon his ultimately dismal purpose (terrorizing, brain-consuming, etc.) as a decaying, reanimated corpse.
