Zero
Babii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why I should stay
I wish you had one good reason
Why you went away
You can never change my mind
It′s in my mind when I'm with you
I will always say I′m fine
It's just a little too late
Meet me in the middle and say
We don′t need to hold on to
The day that could of broke us
We don′t need to hold on to
The words that never left us
We don't need to hold on to
Time we never gave up
We don′t need to hold on to
The things that we lost
We don't need to hold on to
The times we forgot
We don′t need to hold on anymore
I wish I had one good reason
Why I should stay
I wish you had one good reason
Why you went away
You can never change my mind
It's in my mind when I′m with you
I will always say I'm fine (fine)
All the time when it's not true
It′s just a little too late
Meet me in the middle and say
We don′t need to hold on to
The day that could of broke us
We don't need to hold on to
The words that never left us
We don′t need to hold on to
Time we never gave up
We don't need to hold on to
The things that we lost
We don′t need to hold on to
The times we forgot
We don't need to hold on anymore
But it′s not true
We don't need to hold on to
The day that could of broke us
We don't need to hold on to
The words that never left us
We don′t need to hold on to
Time we never gave up
We don′t need to hold on to
The things that we lost
We don't need to hold on to
The times we forgot
We don′t need to hold on anymore
The lyrics of Babii's song ZERO express the emotions of a person who has been hurt in a relationship and is struggling to find a reason to stay. The lyrics are anchored on the concept of letting go and moving on. The singer wishes that both they and their partner had a good reason to stay together and not fall apart. However, there is no such reason and they are left feeling lost, hurt, and uncertain about the future of their relationship. The lines "We don′t need to hold on to the day that could have broke us", "The words that never left us", and "The things that we lost" convey the idea of letting go of the past and not letting it dictate the future.
The singer realizes that their partner cannot change their mind, and they will always pretend to be fine when they are not. The line "It's in my mind when I'm with you" illustrates that even when the two are together, the singer is still contemplating their decision to stay or leave. The chorus emphasizes the idea of not holding onto the past, but meeting in the middle and moving forward.
Overall, the song ZERO is a poignant reflection on the difficulties of relationships and the importance of letting go of the past in order to move forward into the future.
