Being an over thinker is living with a brain that chronically overthinks and spirals. The constant fear that you’re too much for anyone to stay. You see the patterns and know you’re at fault for your own wreckage but it’s hard to step away from old habits. Goof released their new song “ZOMBIE” that puts a witty twist on agonizing thoughts. The chaos of mental health and the line between what happens in their brain versus reality. It’s an apology laced in sarcasm that is just as catchy as it is brutally honest. If you’re a fan of dark humor and prone to falling into your own head, this track if for you.
“ZOMBIE” is a high energy alt-pop track with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and guitar-driven melodies. It lays bare the messy pain of battling your own mind while just wanting to be loved. “I hate my brain, I think even a zombie wouldn’t like the taste.” Goof uses the hook as a metaphor to express how rotten their thoughts truly are that no one would want to accept them. It’s an inner conflict that is irrational at the end of the day because we all are loved even if we don’t think we deserve it, but that doesn’t make it easy to toss the thoughts out. Your mind may feel like the enemy, but remember you’re still alive. Mental health is a common struggle, but it’s song like these we can find peace in knowing we aren’t alone.
Goof is an alt pop artist, raised in Chicago but now based in Nashville. They blend biting humor, emotional clarity and big melodies into their work creating a unique sound. Their debut single “Rewind Halloween” was released in 2021 and they have follow that with eight singles and their debut album “Seasonal Fantasy.” Along with the release of “Zombie” is a full-production, comedic music video on YouTube. It is such a creative way to bring the song even more to life so go check it out.
