2mørvs – the zombie lyrics

[verse1: jonathan pageau]
and it is here on the edge
that we find the zombies
wandering aimlessly in a world
that’s losing its center
unlike most of his monstrous brothers, let’s say
the zombie is truly the harbinger
of contemporary nihilism
the zombie has no magic
the arrival of the zombie usually has no clear reason
but rather the zombie is couched in a+
in a biological accident
a disease, a plague
it’s simply an animated corpse
the zombie inhabits
the indeterminatе sp+ce of living death
roaming around in packs
the zombiе shows us
the mindless wandering
of the mindless mob
[hook1: jonathan pageau]
the mindless wandering
of the mindless mob
with an insatiable hunger
for devouring others
for swallowing life
the zombie shows us
the mindless wandering
of the mindless mob
with an insatiable hunger
for devouring others
for swallowing life

[verse2.1: jonathan pageau]
if the vampire is the monster of aristocracy
the zombie is the monster of the mass
the demos, the monster of the accidental
of quantitative leveling
the zombie is the atheist insistent
on the illusion of free will
it’s an image of nihilism in idiosyncrasy
taken all the way to decomposition

[verse2.2: jonathan pageau]
in every major city in north america
they have these events
they call them zombie walks
people dress up as zombies
and walk in thousands down the streets
dressed up and made up to look like corpses
shifting around with dead empty eyes
pretending to be the walking dead
[break: jonathan pageau]
some of these are huge
if we were generous we could say
that it is a zombie procession
we could say that they’re liturgical zombies
if there is such a thing
if there is such a thing
if+ if+ if there is such a thing
liturgical zombies
if there is such a thing

[hook1: jonathan pageau]
the zombie shows us
the mindless wandering
of the mindless mob
with an insatiable hunger
for devouring others
for swallowing life
the zombie shows us
the mindless wandering
of the mindless mob
with an insatiable hunger
for devouring others
for swallowing life

[verse3.1: jonathan pageau]
the zombie both typifies the mob
while simultaneously the absolute individualism
the absolute isolation of contemporary life
the zombies in a horde only interact with what they desire
and never interact with each other
and the trope of cannibalism is very ancient
it’s there in all the ancient stories
all the ancient myths
but the tweak in zombies
on that theme
of desiring to eat the brain
it’s a very powerful one
’cause it’s truly the image of the nihilist
’cause the zombie is a creature without meaning
without intelligence
it misses any form of personhood
it misses any form of personhood
[verse3.2: jonathan pageau]
and it has this insatiable desire
which mirrors what it lacks
it desires what it lacks
identity, meaning
and this desire appears
in that materialist reduction
of identity and personhood
to that clump of cells that we have up in your cranium
the zombie wants to eat your brains
because it cannot eat the mind
and it cannot inhabit the mind
but strangely enough this desire to eat the living
is the extreme perversion of our desire for communion
and it’s also a distilled image of all our passions
our attempt to fill the unquenchable yearning
through our passion always transforms
other people into commodities
that we think will bring us what we need

[hook2: jonathan pageau]
so the zombie is both an image of the social breakdown
the person as a meaningless statistic
the disappearance of common values
except the overwhelming desire to consume
but so it is also the breakdown
of the person itself
into a soulless desiring death machine

[hook3/outro: jonathan pageau]
there’s a strict +n+logy
between these different levels of the world
the social breakdown
and polarization is to the state
what the abandonment to
the passions is for the person
and the zombie is both of those
fragmentations at the same time
