1. Zed was a pop rock band from Christchurch, New Zealand formed in 1998. Fronted by lead singer Nathan King, their debut album Silencer was released in 2000, entered at number one on the New Zealand Album Charts and quickly achieved triple platinum status and featured six hit singles. Their second studio album, This Little Empire, was released in 2003 and also achieved critical and commercial success. The band split in 2005 with King founding a successful solo career

2. Great Rock and Roll doesn't just happen. It's made. With sweat, swagger and the swilling of alcohol. And Zed makes rock the way it should be made. Loud guitars, a dose of whiskey and a middle finger.

San Francisco Bay Area's Zed takes it cues from the greats like Zeppelin, Sabbath and AC/DC, and mixes them with their other musical influences such as Clutch, Rage Against the Machine and Queens of the Stone Age. With this mixture, Zed crafts a sound that is new, yet familiar and are bringing back the guts, the grit and the balls to Rock. And they won't stop until they succeed. At least in getting drunk and having a good time.

In April 2010, Zed released their first full-length album, "The Invitation", which they had been brewing in the studio for over a year. A hard driving, aggressive sound with lyrical themes covering the spectrum between the socio-political to personal issues, almost anyone in today's society can relate to the what the songs express. And this is what makes the album as much an impact to the heart and head as it is to the gut. So give it a listen for yourself and accept Zed's invitation to rock.

There have been other artists named Zed in the past, and below you'll find a list.

Oh! Daisy
Zed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Daisy won't you tell me a secret
Tell me something everyone wants to know
I've been sitting there inside the little box in my head
Waiting for an answer, waiting to understand

Oh Daisy won't you tell me a fortune
Living out my dreams of sunny days
I've been living there inside the little box in my head

Waiting for an answer, but Daisy she never talks back

What you expect from someone who is named after a cow yeah
Go figure
I won't get an answer from someone who is named after a flower
Go figure

Oh Daisy won't you tell me a story
Tell me something about a boy and a girl
Just let them sit with me inside the little box in my head
Waiting for an answer, waiting to understand

Oh Daisy won't you stop acting stupid
I'm getting sick of your whole attitude

Come and sit with me inside the little box in my head
Waiting for an answer, but Daisy she never talks back

What you expect from someone who is named after a cow yeah
Go figure
I won't get an answer from someone who is named after a flower
Go figure

What you expect from someone who is named after a cow yeah
Go figure
I won't get an answer from someone who is named after a flower
Go figure

But what you expect from someone who is named after a cow yeah
Go figure
I won't get an answer from someone who is named after a flower
Go figure

Oh Daisy won't you tell me a secret
Tell me something everyone wants to know

I've been sitting here inside the little box in my head
Waiting for an answer, but Daisy she never talks back.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zed's song Oh! Daisy convey a certain level of frustration towards someone named Daisy. The singer of the song is seeking answers and guidance from Daisy but she remains unresponsive. The first verse suggests that the singer has been struggling with internal conflicts and is looking for a solution. Daisy is referred to as if she holds the necessary knowledge that could help him. The second verse echoes the sentiment of unfulfilled desires of living life in a particular way. The singer seeks to live out his dreams, and Daisy is personified as a fortune-teller that could give him guidance.

The third verse is an attempt to make sense of relationships. The singer is looking out for a story that could give him insight into the complexities that lie within them. Yet, in all instances, Daisy is silent. The chorus repeats and highlights the singer's frustration with Daisy's unresponsiveness, and tries to make sense of it in a comedic way by questioning whether it is reasonable to expect advice from someone whose name is derived from a cow or a flower.

Overall, the song can be interpreted in various ways. It could be about seeking guidance from external sources or the shortcomings of trying to seek external validation. Hypothetically speaking, Daisy could be a symbol of the singer's internal dialogue with himself, his insecurities, and the inability to deal with them.
