i htink the song is about being pushed to your limits. taylor has often mentioned being overworked in interviews, saying how she was forced into the industry at a young age and was constantly working from then on. the song sounds to me like its about a girl whos being pushed beyond what she can actually do. shes been awake forever and has been waiting for the day to break free. she talks to the people who've wronged her and says they keep forcing her to fail by falling on her head. she's a zombie because like a zombie she can move and talk and appear alive but she is dead inside and shes just walking aimlessly through time.
