Röyksopp – Running to the Sea (feat. Susanne Sundfør) Lyrics 9 years ago
I could hear them howling from afar
I saw them rushing to your call
In a moment all went screaming "why?"
Until the darkness killed the light
-Her lover/friend/family called out to her, and the zombies rushed at him/her, and suddenly everything went to crap. Setting/plot is 'finding each other in the mayhem of a zombie outbreak - town is on fire(of course)'.

I remember running to the sea
The burning houses and trees
I remember running to the sea
Alone and blinded by the fear
Seeing her lover/friend/family rushed by zombies, she flees to the sea, the only place where there is hope of escape(via boat to somewhere not infected).

And the river flows beneath your skin
Like savage forces kept within
And all is wasted in the sand
Like breaking diamonds with your hand
The adrenaline as she runs in fear, and the futility she feels despite the adrenaline.

I remember running to the sea
Remember falling to my knees
I remember gliding off the shore
Until I touched the ocean floor
In a daze of hopelessness upon seeing no escape at the shore, she imagines successfully leaving - she does this to escape the reality of the situation - that she is about to be eaten alive.

And the river flows beneath your skin
Like savage forces kept within
And all is wasted in the sand
Like breaking diamonds with your hand
Could be either the feeling of getting bit and there was nothing she could do to stop her turning into a zombie, or another adrenaline rush / hopeless moment.

And the river grows inside of me
And the river grows inside of me
And the river grows inside of me
And the river grows inside of me
If she got bit, this is her changing into a zombie, relentless and unstoppable as a river. Or she is facing the oncoming horde and the adrenaline peaks up until 'screen fades to black'.
