It\u2019s a dramatic anthem that echoes the catharsis of Corgan\u2019s own emotional epics from the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the story behind the lyrics as you check out the live version below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Time Is Running Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YUNGBLUD - Zombie (Live from the Riviera Theatre) (feat.

It\u2019s out of fear of looking weak. Or, to continue the zombie metaphor, becoming a diminished form of who he once was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If I was to talk about the words,<br>They would hurt, they would hurt.<br>So, if you were to ask about the pain,<br>I would lie, I would lie.<br>To fix my mind, I need time,<br>But it\u2019s running out, it\u2019s running out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yungblud <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/florence-pugh-yungblud-zombie-music-video-1235350990\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explained<\/a> in a statement that his grandmother inspired the song:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. It\u2019s about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Oh, I know that I can\u2019t live without you,<br>But this world will keep turning if you do.<br>Would you even want me looking like a zombie?<br>Would you even want me, want me, want me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Infinite Sadness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He\u2019s losing hope, and now he feels like a drain on his loved ones. Meanwhile, the rest of the world stares at him blankly as he senses time slipping away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corgan takes this verse on the live rendition. Though the spaceship here won\u2019t last, Corgan knows better than most how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/the-smashing-pumpkins-announce-mellon-collie-30th-anniversary-arena-tour\/\">melancholy stubbornly endures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We could catch a spaceship to the moon,<br>But we\u2019d crash; it wouldn\u2019t last.<br>Because the world is just a figment of the fools,<br>A blank stare, they don\u2019t care.<br>So, say your prayers, you\u2019re almost there,<br>But it\u2019s running out, it\u2019s running out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by Astrida Valigorsky\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer, Billy Corgan joined Yungblud onstage at Chicago&#8217;s Riviera Theatre for a stirring performance of \u201cZombie\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":6211,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"savage_platform_markdown_available":false,"savage_platform_markdown_version":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Astrida Valigorsky\/Getty Images","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[560,18,306,124],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-6209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-billy-corgan","tag-rock-music","tag-the-smashing-pumpkins","tag-yungblud"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"Billy Corgan","term_id":560,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/billy-corgan\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
