This is the meaning behind the name "zero-project". It describes a journey, which starts from zero and points to the stars.

I started publishing my compositions at the end of 2007 through my site as well as through music internet communities. Where my bio is concerned, I believe that I don't have anything special. After all, everyone has a story to tell, interesting or not. Instead of words, I offer my reason for being: Music.

Regardless of the importance of our root and our destination, the most enjoyable part is the trip between these two points. I believe music is what makes the journey memorable.

So, fasten your seat belt and enjoy your musical flight. Thank you for visiting and keep flying!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zero-Project's song Nocturne evoke a sense of dreaming and nostalgia, the sorrow and romanticism of memories that haunt and comfort at the same time. They open up with the image of a place where a pleasant breeze is blowing, but only to the select few who are able to recognize its presence. This is followed by a mention of the changing seasons, and the singer feels like they are flying in a sky that is blue and gray at the same time. The scent of someone who is no longer there lingers in the air, and the singer wonders if they can still perceive it. The image of an old record reaching its end and the sound of raindrops tapping on a window create a melancholic and almost nostalgic ambiance, which is reinforced by the repetition of the final line "naneun aeman taeune", which could be interpreted as the singer being alone in their experience.

The second verse repeats the imagery of scent and the atmosphere of a quiet night, with added visuals of a dying fire and the stillness of the sea. The singer is reminded of someone who is now gone, and they wonder if that person still remembers them. The final line of the verse, "ssilnat gata bujileopda", could be interpreted as meaning "it's like a secret that can never be spoken." The final chorus repeats the first verse again, emphasizing the loneliness and introspection of the singer.

Overall, this song creates a deeply introspective and nostalgic mood, as the singer reflects on past memories and the elusive nature of scent, time and relationships.
