Zeroes And Ones
Jesus Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Information, truth and lies
It's all yours and it's all mine
You just have to find the time
We're all the same, we share the blame, we play the games
If it's yes or no the decision is easy, it's easy
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
This time the revolution will be computerised
You'll know it as you do it
In real time before your eyes
Slip between realities
There's more to this than anything that you or I can see
The world is mine the world is yours and here's the cause
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
I've stared into the heart of it all
Seen the pictures on the wall
The beat of a heart
The oceans part and the patterns in my mind
This time, we've split the world once more
There's those that have and that don't in information wars
Wer'e not alone 'cos all is known and it's everywhere, it's everywhere
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
Zeroes and ones will take us there.
The song Zeroes And Ones by Jesus Jones is a commentary on the power of technology and its effect on society. The lyrics describe the way that the world is interconnected through the internet, with information, truth and lies being shared across the globe. The message is that we are all the same, all sharing in the blame and playing the same games. The decision-making process is simplified when it's just a matter of yes or no, and this process can be facilitated through the use of zeroes and ones. The song suggests that these numbers can take us to a new dimension of existence.
The revolution of our time is computerized, and the song describes the ability to see things in real-time before our very eyes. The reality of our existence is easily manipulated, as we can slip between different worlds and dimensions, and there's always more to what we see than meets the eye. The world is yours, the world is mine, and the cause for the movement is the power of zeroes and ones. At the end of the song, the lyrics describe the division of the world into those who have information and those who don't. It highlights the fact that the internet has created a new kind of information war, one in which each person's access to information is a determining factor in their status within society.

I've always thought this was a track that was ahead of it's time- just listened to it for the first time in over 20 years.
@alitlweird
This song has always been one of my favorites.
And in 2023, we’re living inside the ZEROES AND ONES.

Those zeros and ones are certainly bringing these words to a chilling reality.
