Zero
Leo Islo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

there are details in this life
they're getting the best of me
like if i never get this right
will it be the death of me?

so i've been biding my time
twisting my fate
I watch the clock
but its too late

and my life
it just won't wait
its coming down…
til' everything goes to zero.

baby everything goes to zero.
where its going down…

its coming to zero
this life I'm living
I'm shaking the dust
cause' I want it right now
and I wanna know
the life I'm living
is gonna be enough
when it all goes down to zero.

degrees. in these hearts.
just so no one can rage against us
when the fire, it will start
burning through the city while...
I was watching in the dark.
and i tried to convince myself
that i've been living so well

when I've been biding my time
twisting my fate
I watch the clock
but its too late

its coming to zero
this life I'm living
I'm shaking the dust
cause' I want it right now
and I wanna know
the life I'm living
is gonna be enough
when it all goes down to zero.

til the fire burns out
til the lights go down.
til the lost is found
we will come around…

til the fire burns out
til the lights go down.
til the lost is found
we will come around… to zero.





and it all comes down to zero/ on your own… when it all comes down to zero.

we will come around…

til the fire burns out
til the lights go down.
til the lost is found
we will come around… to zero.

and it all comes down to zero/ on your own… when it all comes down to zero.
