"the walking dead" is actually a newer take on an older song i did in 09 called "eaten alive". a lot of people I knew at the time were falling deep into crazier drugs and turning into fucking zombies right in front of me. "eaten alive" was more a metaphor of my own life where as I smoked weed and drank at the time I knew as all my close friends fell into drugs so eventually would I. I guess I knew I'm weak when it comes to the people im closest to. anyways I can look back on that entire time in my life with perspective now. I can see why I came out of it all with my soul intact, while so many people I knew did not. and that is what "the walking dead" is about. Its my survivors guide to the high road.
