Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Zombie Al Carrefour by Coma_Cose from Italian to English.

Between a bitter that ends with an encore

And a pill that starts with 'x'

I leave my goodwill outside in the Humana bin

'Cause I've already used it too much

I curse it for how much it holds me back

Inside only old people and dealers

And bricklayers on break, heading for Milanofiori

I keep my eyes down like the frequencies in the club toilets

Everything's still echoing

So the silence here isn't that bad after all

I just felt the need to do

Something good, something normal

Just to avoid going back home, where guilt lives

I chose to leave them alone

Like you do with parents when you grow up

Only to end up at five among the zombies at Carrefour

Now that I should be out celebrating

Yelling like the kids do

I'd even be fine with puking

And learning to leave or be left

To forgive everything, to dry out the pain

With a friend as good as bread with ham

I just felt the need to do

Something good, something normal

Just to avoid going back home, where guilt lives

I chose to leave them alone

Like you do with the worst memories when you grow up

Because shopping for groceries makes me feel good

Because it makes me think of when we did it together

Because now that you're better, I feel I need to take a bit more care of myself

If I can manage

Now I pay and leave

There's a gorgeous dawn outside

SONG MEANING

Zombie al Carrefour paints the picture of a sleepless wanderer who, after a hazy mix of bitter liqueurs and pills “that start with X,” hides from guilt-ridden thoughts by roaming the fluorescent aisles of a late-night supermarket. Surrounded by elderly shoppers, small-time dealers, and construction workers on break, the narrator keeps her eyes low and her headphones loud, craving a slice of something normal—even if that “normal” is just buying milk at 5 a.m. The Carrefour becomes a safe limbo where she can dodge the weight of home, memories, and the pressure to party like everyone else her age.

Under the neon lights she rehearses life skills that feel scarier than any zombie: learning to leave or be left, forgiving everything, drying up heartache “with a friend as good as bread and ham.” Grocery shopping surfaces bittersweet nostalgia for a relationship that once made the chore feel shared and meaningful, yet the act also signals a first step toward self-care. By the time she pays and steps outside, dawn breaks—a quiet promise that even the most disoriented night can end in a fresh start.
