Dead Inside
New Zero God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hide our deepest fears.
As shadows leave no traces
All feelings disappear.
Can't find the Garden of Eden
Cursed on a desert land
Where Judas wants to kiss us
But nobody will miss us...
like the last time
But then it starts again.
More lonely than I've ever been
But this time, not alone.
Somebody locked us out now.
We can't get through the gates
Sacrificed outside the Garden
To a world of hate...
And it's becoming stronger
Stronger and stronger
Until we are all
Dead Inside.
New Zero God
"Fun is a Four Letter Word" (2010)
The lyrics of "Dead Inside" by New Zero God talk about the overwhelming feeling of emptiness and loneliness that can take over a person's life. The first few lines of the lyrics reflect on how people often hide their deepest fears and worries behind a smiling face, as though the shadows from within leave no traces. The singer then laments about how they can't find the Garden of Eden, but rather are cursed with living in a barren desert land that wants to hurt them. Here, the Garden of Eden represents an ideal, peaceful state of being, from which the singer feels disconnected and isolated. They also mention how Judas wants to kiss them, but nobody will miss them, which can be seen as a reference to betrayal, as Judas has been historically portrayed as the ultimate traitor.
The chorus of "Dead Inside" reflects on the cyclical nature of the singer's life, how each time feels like the last time, but then it starts again. However, unlike before, they are not alone this time, but even that doesn't change how more lonely they feel than ever before. They explain how they're locked out now, unable to get through the gates, as though sacrificed outside the Garden, making them vulnerable to a world of hate. The song ends on the somber affirmation that this feeling of emptiness is only going to get stronger until everyone's dead inside, a bleak metaphor for losing one's sense of self and individuality.
Overall, "Dead Inside" by New Zero God gives voice to the feelings of disconnection, isolation, and fear that many people might feel at different points in their lives when they're struggling. The song is a call to be more empathetic towards one another and to try and help each other out, so that we don't end up feeling dead inside.
