Written for the conflict happening in her home country, but so relative for today turmoil.

I found this:
There were a lot of bombs going off in London and I remember this one time a child was killed when a bomb was put in a rubbish bin – that's why there's that line in the song, 'A child is slowly taken'. [ ... ] We were on a tour bus and I was near the location where it happened, so it really struck me hard – I was quite young, but I remember being devastated about the innocent children being pulled into that kind of thing. So I suppose that's why I was saying, 'It's not me' – that even though I'm Irish it wasn't me, I didn't do it. Because being Irish, it was quite hard, especially in the UK when there was so much tension.
— Dolores O'Riordan in 2017, on writing "Zombie"

There is so much war. PTSD, the long term effects of it all. I can't remember how I ever found this, but know it's been around for a long time, I remember my cassette player with this song. I suffer from PTSD from what happened with my child, and although this is a protest song, I can't help but enjoy the simple message in it. I always enjoyed zombies media and when I learned this song, I think I liked it so much because of that. War is real, and I think we forget that. I love the drums!

She (Dolores) was scheduled to do another version with another band "Bad Wolves", and died that day. She had a very unique voice.
