A New Song about Alameda: 'Isle of Zombies'

It's by a San Francisco-based, self-described "experimental pop duo" called Super Adventure Club.

A reader sent over a link to this brand-new (the group's website says it was released on Sept. 10) song about Alameda.

It's called Alameda: Isle of Zombies.

And, while I am a reasonably astute analyzer of lyrics, I can't really figure out the meaning. Except that maybe it's saying we're zombies here.

You can take a listen, but there's this:

Dark is the night, dark is the Bay 
Dark are the ferries that take you away 
Off to the island, off to the island of zombies

And this:

You were living in the mission for a year or two 
but the lure of easy parking was calling to you 
Just like a call, just like a call from your mommy 
You took the ferry, took the ferry and you became a zombie

Ouch!
