Zero Hour
PTI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Choose her angled eyes.
A pretty blur behind a strong outline.
Looking into you, I feel what’s there behind your stare.
There’s nothing I can do.

Remembering your glow, soft blue lights that once seemed so hopeful.
Take it in real slow; what burned in her was pure ether.
There’s nothing left to hold.

A silhouette I know, 4 A.M. she stares out the window.
Tell me what you see.
A future past, an era gone and another shattered dream.

Before we say our last goodbyes, I feel the emptiness inside,
like I left a part of me with you to die.

I don’t want to be the one you know, but never show and so I go.
I don’t want to leave while there’s still hope.
Would you walk away if I told you?

I don’t want to find myself alone.
I’m still here but I will let you go.




I don’t want to be the one you know.
I don’t want to leave while there’s still hope.

Overall Meaning

The first verse of PTI's Zero Hour talks about the impact that this person has on the singer. The lyrics "choose her angled eyes" imply that the focus is on a woman and the next line "a pretty blur behind a strong outline" could suggest that the woman has a vague quality, but her presence is still felt strongly by the singer. The next line "looking into you, I feel what's there behind your stare" indicates that the woman's gaze affects the singer and creates a sense of vulnerability. The repetition of "there's nothing I can do" suggests that the singer feels powerless to resist the pull of this woman.


In the second verse, the lyrics take a nostalgic turn with the phrase "remembering your glow." The soft blue lights that were once hopeful now seem to represent a past that is gone. The line "what burned in her was pure ether" suggests that the woman had a purity that has now dissipated. The final line of the verse "there's nothing left to hold" reinforces the idea of loss.


The chorus talks about the pain of leaving someone behind. The lyrics "before we say our last goodbyes, I feel the emptiness inside" reveals the emotional toll the separation is taking on the singer. The repetition of "I don't want" suggests an internal conflict as the singer struggles with conflicting desires. Finally, the question "would you walk away if I told you?" brings up the idea of honesty in relationships.

A silhouette I know, 4 A.M. she stares out the window.
I'm familiar with the outline of her figure; envisioning her awake so early, I can imagine her silently observing the darkness outside.


Tell me what you see.
What does she see when she gazes at the stillness beyond the glass, and what does it mean to her?


A future past, an era gone and another shattered dream.
What she sees is a lost time that she cannot reclaim, and yet another aspiration that has been broken.


Before we say our last goodbyes, I feel the emptiness inside, like I left a part of me with you to die.
As we prepare to part ways, I feel a hollow ache within, like a piece of me was entrusted to you and is now fading away forever.


I don’t want to be the one you know, but never show and so I go.
I would rather distance myself from you completely than remain in a situation where we know each other but never truly express ourselves.


I don’t want to leave while there’s still hope.
Despite everything, I'm still holding onto a glimmer of optimism that things may turn out alright between us.


Would you walk away if I told you?
If I confessed my deepest fears and feelings, would you abandon me and our relationship?


I don’t want to find myself alone.
I don't want to end up isolated and lonely, without someone I care about nearby.


I’m still here but I will let you go.
I haven't disappeared, but I recognize that the time has come for us to separate and move on.


I don’t want to be the one you know.
I don't just want to be an acquaintance or a casual acquaintance to you; I need to be someone more meaningful.


I don’t want to leave while there’s still hope.
I'm still holding onto the hope that something can be salvaged from our relationship, even though the odds are against us.
