Zombie takes us straight into the turbulent mind of GIMS, where reason, conscience and sub-conscious argue like characters in a late-night debate. The verses paint a foggy landscape of self-doubt: he feels “manipulated by another,” trapped in negative thoughts, and torn between the urge to fly free and the reflex to shut down. Each sharp “Stop” is both a plea and a command, showing how quickly confidence can flip into paranoia when you start believing the world is nothing but shadows.

The chorus—“Je suis un zombie” (“I’m a zombie”)—is a blunt confession of emotional numbness. It’s a metaphor for living on autopilot, building dreams “dans l’vide” (in the void) while hope slips through your fingers. Yet the song is not just gloomy; it’s a wake-up call. By urging us to “retire ces chaînes” (remove these chains) and let the spirit “s’envoler” (soar), GIMS reminds listeners that even when our inner voices clash, we still have the power to break free, reconnect with our true selves and bring color back to a world that suddenly feels less dark.
