Zombie

In the fashion of taking 2011 and making it mine today's tune "Zombie" stands as an example of what I will not let happen.

For the most part I just wasn't getting this one for a long, long time. Then suddenly it just clicked. After constantly being broken down (wronged) the character in this song eventually loses touch with reality, all feeling and all emotion. Just going through the motions. Kinda sad really because after all, there's more to life than just being there or simply breathing. You have to participate.

Another great track from The Pretty Reckless that reminds me that often others can turn you into that zombie.

I'm not listening to you
I am wandering right through existance
With no purpose and no drive
'Cause in the end we're all alive, alive

Two thousand years I've been awake
Waiting for the day to shake

To all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lay, lay down dead

Blow the smoke right off the tube
Kiss my gentle burning bruise
I'm lost in time
And to all the people left behind
You are walking dumb and blind, blind

And two thousand years I've been awake
Waiting for the day to shake

Dear all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lay, lay down dead
Oh dead, Oh dead, Oh dead

To all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head

I am I am I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lie down dead

Hit me, break me, push me down or wrong me but I'll never be that zombie.
