Zeroes
Spacehog Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please excuse me
I meant no harm in being born
As world falls open wide
Like a wounded solider falls

Breaks backs in silence
Don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time
My lost awakening

I've found the same as life before
When after another lonely wounded solider falls
Like light fantastic
That falls upon my shoulder

Fall
Don't fall upon my shoulder

She gave me a call
So I gave her a smile
When I asked her for love
And what I should dial
She said 'Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero'

Please excuse me
I meant no harm in being born
As world falls open wide
Like a wounded solider falls
Breaks backs in silence
Don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time

I gave her a car
So she gave me a smile
When I asked her for love




And what I should drive
She said 'Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero'

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Spacehog's song "Zeroes" could be interpreted as a meditation on the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of life. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea that being born is a kind of accidental harm, because it means being thrown into a reality that is "wounded" and broken. The image of the "wounded soldier" falling suggests a kind of helplessness in the face of forces beyond one's control.


The singer also seems to be struggling with feelings of loneliness and alienation, as he describes himself as a "lost awakening" and references "another lonely wounded solider." The repetition of the phrase "don't fall around me this time" highlights the singer's fear of being abandoned or left behind.


The chorus of the song introduces a new character: a woman who the singer asks for love. However, she responds by telling him to dial "zero," suggesting that there is no real hope or connection to be found. The repetition of the word "zero" creates a sense of emptiness and futility.


Overall, "Zeroes" is a melancholy and introspective song that touches on some of life's most difficult and universal themes.
