On “Zombie!”, Orla sings about being with someone who represses everything they feel and never let’s it come to the surface, and what that’s like for her.
"“Zombie!” is about repressing emotions until one day they burst out of you all at once. Specifically it’s about a very common, very male kind of repression I witnessed in a boy I loved once—I could see that he felt things but there was a barrier stopping him from expressing them. I hated that for him, it made me so angry at the societal pressures that led him to that place. For me living “like a zombie” became a metaphor for this way of living; someone so seemingly unemotional on the surface they barely seem alive. I scream my head off in the outro of the song and that scream is meant to feel like a huge release, like the moment you let it all out."

"track 5, ‘zombie’ – RAUCOUS. aw man this is going to go off live, I feel it.
lol this scream at the end of ‘zombie’ was one of the most guttural sounds that has ever come out of me
I wanted it to feel years of pent-up emotion, all coming to the surface at once"
