Ground Zero
Scarred Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Insane, spoken from a madman's mouth
Again the sound of hatred rings
Impure, the blind leads the naked, through a fucking parted world
He'll make life out of darkness

I'll crush your beliefs with my pride; I won't get down on my knees
There's no time to pray, we are heading right back to
Ground Zero
Where madness and sickness are the only friends who remain
The psycho within me shaped by the destruction you have caused
Getting stronger everyday

Illness, the freak shows the way to his
Schizophrenic mind
Immune to his inner chaos, creating his own world
From the deepest desire of survival

I'll crush your beliefs, with my pride; I won't get down on my knees
There's no time to pray, we are heading right back to

Ground Zero
Where madness and sickness are the only friends who remain
The psycho within me shaped by the destruction you have caused
Getting stronger everyday

I hear him now, will you fear me now?
I'm listening to him now

Face to face with myself, there's no time to waste
Time slowly sucks life out of me, no there's no time to waste

Ground Zero
Where madness and sickness are the only friends who remain
The psycho within me shaped by the destruction you have caused
Getting stronger everyday





This is just the beginning

Overall Meaning

Scarred's song "Ground Zero" is a powerful expression of the emotional and psychological aftermath of a devastating event, specifically the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. The lyrics suggest a sense of madness and chaos resulting from the destruction caused by the attacks. The first verse speaks of hatred and impurity, suggesting the loss of innocence and hope in the wake of such a horrific act. The chorus, with its repeated reference to "Ground Zero," reinforces this theme by emphasizing the physical and emotional devastation of the site itself.


The second verse introduces the idea of the "psycho within me" being shaped by the destruction, highlighting the lasting impact that traumatic events can have on the human psyche. The line "Illness, the freak shows the way to his schizophrenic mind" further underscores this idea, suggesting that the trauma has led to a breakdown in the individual's mental state. The song ends on a note of ominous foreboding with the line "This is just the beginning," suggesting that the singer is caught in a cycle of despair and devastation that shows no signs of abating.
