Zero Signal
Fear Factory (Hatefiles) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So withdrawn and feeling numb
Watching life come all undone
Growing fear, a human grace
A drowning mind in a dark embrace
My life
A disarray
And I
Fade away

I am down on my knees
Praying beyond belief
The silence deafens my ears
And welds the shackles
Onto my fears
Lost
All faith
Lost
All trust
Lost
All faith
Lost
All trust
So withdrawn and feeling numb
Watching life come all undone
My life
A disarray
And I
Fade away
I am down on my knees
Praying beyond belief
The silence deafens my ears
And welds the shackles
Onto my fears
I have lost all faith
I have lost all trust
A sordid mesh turning to dust
A sordid mesh turning to dust
I am lost
I am so numb
I am so numb
I am so numb
I am so numb

I am so numb
I am so numb

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zero Signal suggest a sense of detachment and disillusionment with life, and a growing anxiety and fear about one's place in the world. The singer is "withdrawn and feeling numb", watching as their life comes undone and their mind becomes "drowning" in darkness. They feel lost and have "lost all faith" and "lost all trust", a sentiment that is repeated throughout the song. The singer is "on their knees, praying beyond belief", but the silence they encounter only reinforces their fear and welds the "shackles onto my fears".

The repetition of certain phrases (such as "lost all faith" and "feeling numb") adds to the sense of despair and hopelessness that permeates the lyrics. The use of imagery (such as a drowning mind and shackles) creates a vivid picture of what the singer is feeling.

Overall, the lyrics to Zero Signal suggest a struggle with mental health and a perception of the world as a dark and unforgiving place, where faith and trust are easily lost. The song highlights the challenges of dealing with fear and anxiety, and the impact that these struggles can have on a person's sense of self and place in the world.

Line by Line Meaning

So withdrawn and feeling numb
Feeling disconnected and detached from the world around me

Watching life come all undone
Observing everything around me fall apart

Growing fear, a human grace
Feeling afraid, which is sadly a natural and common human experience

A drowning mind in a dark embrace
Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by negative thoughts and emotions

My life A disarray
My life is a mess and in chaos

And I Fade away
I feel like I'm disappearing and losing myself

I am down on my knees Praying beyond belief
Feeling so desperate that I'm on my knees praying endlessly

The silence deafens my ears And welds the shackles Onto my fears
The silence is overwhelming and terrifying, making me feel trapped and powerless

Lost All faith Lost All trust
Having lost all belief and confidence in myself and the world around me

A sordid mesh turning to dust
The tangled mess of my life unraveling and falling apart

I am lost I am so numb
Feeling completely lost and disconnected from the world around me

I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb
Repeating the feeling of disconnection and numbness to emphasize how pervasive it is

Same! This was my introduction to metal right here. 🤘🏾 Thanks, old 1997 Mortal Kombat movie!😂 I discovered the full song and lyrics when my older brother accidentally changed the radio station in my mom's car to some random Metal station... He was looking for this Rap/R&B station we'd always listen to and when I heard this song actually play out, I realized: Well hell, I like this shit a lot better than the music we're "supposed to listen to." I was only 5.. This song changed my life. Made me realize that I don't have to fit a stereotype. I was one of the few (seemingly, the only) black kid listening to metal amongst my friends.
Later that year... Spawn (the movie) introduced me to Marilyn Manson 😂

Memories!

FUCK YES! Man this song brings back so many good memories...this whole album actually. Used to rock this at an unbearably loud volume on the way to a show or just out cruising. Sounded great with those drums...those DRUMS. I've listened to a lot of thrash and speed metal and whatnot, and Fear Factory is definitely one of those bands that can get my adrenaline coursing through my veins. And just like you said...some 20+ years later and it STILL has my stereo cranked and people staring as I beat my dashboard...it never ceases to amaze how FF and Pantera still send me through the roof...

When I listen to this it takes me back to my teenage years and reminds me of my old mate Chris Burton, he was tragically killed in a car accident over a decade ago but we used to skate, smoke and rock out to this stuff.

RIP Brother

This the the first song I ever heard from them and the band that got me into metal. Plus the fact that it was playing during a fight scene with my favorite Mortal Kombat character (Scorpion) makes it that much more epic for me <3

Demanufacture was one hell of an album, one of the first I ever bought. Played it through the skips when my CD got damaged and didn't give a shit, each song was special and one hell of an experience. All FF music reflects this effort, old and new, I thank them. So awesome.

This was the song that opened me to FF. I was a young teen. Mortal Kombat was the shit then. A crowd inside of a corner of a 7-11. Where the arcade game was and at home or a friends on the SNES. Then the movie came out. Saw it in the theater. The scorpion and cage scene came on and this song played. I thought that was the best part of the film. After the movie was over. I went to what was known as Sam Goodie. Bought the soundtrack. Found the song. Played on repeat for god knows how long.... memories.
