Like was said above, the Cranberries came out with this song in memory of two individuals, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry. The former was 3-years old and the latter 12 when their lives were taken via a bomb the IRA planted in England. Thus the song begins when the band referencing a “child” being “slowly taken”. In this particular case, they may be sp...
The singer starts off the pre-chorus by exclaiming that “it’s not me; it’s not my family”. The idea these statements are actually meant to point to is that despite the fact that The Cranberries are from Ireland, they do not support the actions of the IRA. And the rest of the passage seems to buttress the notion that the “fighting” the IRA is engage...
And that brings us to the chorus, where the title of the song comes into play. The metaphor which prevails throughout, as you’ve probably already guessed, is that The Cranberries are exclaiming that the people who engage in activities like the aforementioned bombings are indeed ‘zombies’. Or stated otherwise, they are behaving mindlessly in the pur...
And given the nature of the second verse, which once again speaks to innocent children being killed, we can easily deduce what is at the source of the band’s anger. And that is lives have been lost, in the name of Ireland if you will, as the result of an ultimately senseless, indeed even terrorist act.
And in the second pre-chorus, they reference that this beef between the IRA and the UK has been going on “since 1916”. But once again, the band states that this ongoing conflict is more ‘in the heads’ of the IRA as opposed to being something that’s going on in real life, so to speak. Another way of looking at it is that once again the masses of Iri...
So conclusively, “Zombie” has been classified as a protest song. But perhaps a more accurate way of describing it is as a diss song. And why? Because given its background, it is clear that the band is taking a stance against the IRA. And in doing so, they are unflatteringly referring to the members of this organization as ‘zombies’.
