Zero
Crown the Empire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm breaking static, I'm changing my frequency
If I don't speak out, then no one's listening
But I won't live in vain, in vain

We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We're dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say
Zero, zero

We're breaking static, just radio frequencies
If we don't speak out, then there's no one listening
Is anyone listening to me?

We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We're dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say

We won't hesitate
We won't close our eyes
We won't turn away
We're taking back our lives
We won't hesitate
We won't close our eyes
We won't turn away
We're taking back our lives for the first time
For the first time (we won't hesitate)
We won't close our eyes
We won't turn away

We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We're dying for more every day, every day




So count down from ten and jump when I say
Zero, zero, zero, zero

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Crown the Empire's song Zero address issues like conformity, breaking away from the norm, and taking back control of one's life. The singer starts by realizing that they need to switch things up and be heard, or their voice will get lost in the noise. They refuse to live life in vain and want to make a change. The chorus addresses the human condition of always wanting more, of always being on the edge, wondering whether to take that leap of faith or not. The repetition of 'zero' at the end represents a symbolic new beginning, a chance to start over, take control, and not be afraid.


The song is a reminder that all humans have the power and ability to make positive changes in their lives or the world around them, but it all starts with taking that first step. It encourages people not to be afraid to try new things and to stand up for what they believe in. The message of the track is simple yet effective: you can break free from the static and create your path.

I’m breaking static, I’m changing my frequency
If I don’t speak out, then no one’s listening
But I won’t live in vain, in vain

[Chorus]
We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We’re dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say
Zero, zero

[Verse 2]
We’re breaking static, just radio frequencies
If we don’t speak out, then there’s no one listening
Is anyone listening to me?

[Chorus]
We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We’re dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say...

[Bridge]
We won’t hesitate
We won’t close our eyes
We won’t turn away
We’re taking back our lives
We won’t hesitate
We won’t close our eyes
We won’t turn away
We’re taking back our lives for the first time
For the first time
(We won’t hesitate
We won’t close our eyes
We won’t turn away)

[Chorus]
We stand on the edge wondering, wondering
If I take one step will I live, will I sink?
We’re dying for more every day, every day
So count down from ten and jump when I say
Zero, zero, zero, zero
