From Thirty to Zero
Left Spine Down Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And after everything is done
You stand there over me with that gun
You can't see anything at all
Come watch the final curtain call

You can't change anything
You can't change anything at all
It's all been said and done

As I lie right here on the floor
You drown in your thoughts
And you lie to yourself
You dig your own hole
Until you find what it's about

From thirty to zero
How I long to let go
Just when will it all show
I'll see you down below

So this is how it goes
Will the truth ever set me free?
Fire once and watch him fall
End this grudge once and for all
Don't think that this can all be undone
Now that you've got me under the gun

From thirty to zero
How I long to let go
Just when will it all show
I'll see you down below

And here I stand alone
Collapsing everything I know
And here I stand alone
Stand alone

From thirty to zero
How I long to let go
Just when will it all show
I'll see you down below

From thirty to zero
How I long to let go
Just when will it all show
I'll see you down below

And here I stand alone
Collapsing everything I know

And here I stand alone
Stand alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Left Spine Down's song "From Thirty to Zero" depict a situation in which the singer is confronting their own mortality as someone stands over them with a gun. The singer feels helpless, as they acknowledge that they cannot change their fate and that everything has already been said and done. They watch as the final curtain call approaches, their thoughts consumed with the inevitability of their own demise. The lyrics describe the complex emotional journey that one goes through as they face their own mortality and the feeling of being alone in that experience.

Through the lens of existentialism, the song paints a picture of the human condition and the search for meaning in life. The singer's plea to let go and their acknowledgment of the inevitability of death highlight the importance of living life to the fullest and cherishing every moment. The lyrics suggest that the ultimate truth may never be known and that the search for it may only cause more pain and suffering. In the end, the singer is left standing alone, collapsing everything they know.

In many ways, "From Thirty to Zero" speaks to the universal human experience of confronting death and mortality. The song's haunting melody and powerful lyrics make it a beautiful and poignant tribute to the human spirit.

And after everything is done
After all that has happened

You stand there over me with that gun
You are standing over me with a gun

You can't see anything at all
You are unable to see anything

Come watch the final curtain call
Witness the end of it all

You can't change anything
There is nothing you can do to alter what has happened

You can't change anything at all
You are completely powerless to change what has happened

It's all been said and done
Everything has been finalized and concluded

As I lie right here on the floor
I am lying on the floor

You drown in your thoughts
You are consumed by your own thoughts

And you lie to yourself
You are deceiving yourself

You dig your own hole
You are creating your own problems
