Zombie

Trotsky Vengaran's song 'Zombie' delves into the monotonous and often soul-crushing routine of modern life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels like a 'zombie,' trudging through the motions of daily existence without any real sense of purpose or fulfillment. The opening lines, 'Bien temprano comienza la mañana / Soy un soldado camino a la batalla,' set the stage for a day that feels more like a battle than a journey. The protagonist is wide awake yet still asleep, symbolizing a state of being where one is physically present but mentally and emotionally detached.

The song reflects on a time when life had meaning and direction, 'Recuerdo que todo esto era por algo / Parece ser que teníamos un plan.' This nostalgia for a past where there was a clear purpose contrasts sharply with the present, where the protagonist feels like just another 'zombie' on the street. The lyrics 'Un trabajo honrado el futuro asegurado / Que dolía pero ya no duele mas' suggest that even though the work was painful, it at least had a purpose, which is now lost.

The chorus introduces a sense of escapism and resignation. 'A veces pienso que me escapo volando / Voy por el prado tomado de tu mano' speaks to a longing for freedom and connection, while 'A veces sueño que se prende fuego / No llego tarde porque ya no voy' reveals a deep sense of disillusionment. The repetition of 'Ya no voy a ningún lado' underscores the feeling of being stuck, with no direction or destination. The final lines, 'Para muchos tengo todo para ser feliz / Pero a veces pienso que me estoy viendo morir,' encapsulate the internal conflict of appearing to have it all while feeling dead inside.
