The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Zombie Love Song" by the artist "Your Favorite Martian"

Contents

Zombie Love Song by Your Favorite Martian is a satirical take on love ballads, featuring a zombie as the romantic protagonist. The humor stems from the incongruity between the image of a zombie – a brain-craving monster – and its desire to be sweet and charming to the object of its affection.

The zombie tries to convince the girl that despite being undead, he is capable of feelings. He clumsily flirts, offering to take her to Wendy's, and assures her that his "non-beating" heart beats only for her. However, his declarations of love are constantly interspersed with reminders of his zombie nature: he eats brains, can infect her with a bite, and promises to teach her how to be a zombie like him.

This contrast between romance and horror creates a comic effect. The zombie, trying to fit the image of a "nice guy," doesn't realize (or ignores) its own frightening nature.

The song pokes fun at the clichés of romance songs and movies, where a monster can become "good" for love. At the same time, it ironically plays with the theme of "love being stronger than death."

You don't know me, baby, but I've seen you around.

It might be kind of crazy, but I'm just new in town.

And now I wonder what you'd think if I said, hey look

I'd like to get your number and a link to your Facebook.

Now if I tell you what a nice guy's supposed to

Would that compel you not to scream when I approach you?

You'll have to promise me you'll take this news calmly,

But honestly, I'm sort of a zombie.

I knew you'd be surprised. You can bet that I

May not be alive, but I sure as hell ain't dead inside.

What's with the shotty? I ain't wishing you harm.

You see, I'd try to hold your hand

But I'm missing an arm.

Brains are all I've eaten all week it's true,

But if my heart were still beating, it would beat for you.

So let me take you to Wendy's.

You deserve it.

Yeah, I'm a zombie, baby. Ain't nobody perfect.

I'll chase you through the yard

And all through the house into the dark.

I wanna steal your heart and eat your brains.

I've never been so true,

But if my heart were still beating,

It would beat for you.

I wanna steal your heart and eat your brains.

Baby, sometimes I bite, and you can bet

That I've got an appetite for human flesh.

I'll always be near though. You'll have to accept that

When I nibble on your earlobe

You might get infected.

Cause I fell in love with you and I'm

Undead but you make me feel alive.

And when I chase you through the graveyard

It feels like foreplay.

If I'm lying I'm dying, and I speak truly

When I say I love your mind.

I'll take brains over beauty.

We'll be the undead Dagwood and Blondie

When I teach you how to zombie, teach you, teach you how to zombie.

And everybody will love you, and you can sing along

To this post-apocalyptic, postmortem love song.

So give me a chance,girl. You know I'll be worth it.

Yeah, I'm a zombie, baby. Ain't nobody perfect.

I'll chase you through the yard

And all through the house into the dark.

I wanna steal your heart and eat your brains.

I've never been so true,

But if my heart were still beating,

It would beat for you.

I wanna steal your heart and eat your brains.

Brains. Brains. Brains. Brains.

Brains. Brains.

I'll chase you through the yard

And all through the house into the dark.

I wanna steal your heart and eat your brains.

I've never been so true,

But if my heart were still beating,

It would beat for you.

I wanna steal your heart and eat your brains.

NOM-NOM-NOM-NOM-NOM-NOM.
