Sad Song
Zero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I love you Wright)
(Chubi)
How am I supposed to write something happy
If I don't know what that feels like
This world is full
Of basic sad songs
And imma write another one
My ex hurt me
I wanna die
I hate myself
Recording while I cry
I'm addicted to drugs
Starin' down a bottle
I wanna get back at you
It's another sad song
No, no, no
It's another sad song
Yeah
It's another sad song
How am I supposed to write something happy
If that's not what the people what
How am I supposed to write something true to me
If the label wants me to write what sells
Cuz lokey
I've been in a good mood
Like lokey
Steppin' out of my room
Got a new girl
Living in a new world
Can't mess it up surely
I've been speaking too soon
But nobody wanna hear that
They all want heartbreak and pain
They want relatable music
So they think i'm in their brain
I hear "Wright make me a song"
Every single day
It gets really annoying
Like do you think i'm getting paid
Now I have repetitive vocals
It all sounds the same
The same melodies
Infecting in your brain
How am I supposed to write something happy
(Woah)
If I don't know what that feels like
This world is full
Of basic sad songs
And imma write another one
My ex hurt me
I wanna die
I hate myself
Recording while I cry
I'm addicted to drugs
Starin' down a bottle
I wanna get back at you
It's another sad song
No, no, no
It's another sad song




Yeah
It's another sad song

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sad Song" by Zero express feelings of isolation, detachment, and sadness. The singer is going out, but seems anxious and paranoid about the people watching them. They feel low and disconnected from those around them, and can't seem to find their way. The chorus repeats the line "this is just another sad song," emphasizing the idea that this feeling is all-encompassing and never-ending. The second verse continues to highlight the separation the singer feels from others, watching them laugh without feeling any connection to it. The final lines express the desire to not even try to make it to the front of the line, suggesting a lack of motivation or hope.


The song paints a vivid picture of an individual struggling with depression or other mental health issues that cause disconnection and disassociation. The repeated chorus suggests that this is an ongoing issue, rather than a fleeting moment of sadness. The themes of loneliness and detachment are common in alternative rock and grunge music of the 90s, which is the era in which Zero was active. The lyrics suggest a sense of hopelessness and futility, as if the singer is resigned to feeling this way forever.

Going out tomorrow, who knows who I'll see
I am uncertain about what tomorrow holds and who I will encounter.


Feels like their eyes are watching me
I have a sense of being scrutinized and judged by those around me.


They are as high, as the bright blue sky
The people around me seem so positive and joyful, like the sky on a clear day.


And I feel as low as the dirt
In contrast, I feel insignificant and worthless like the dirt beneath everyone's feet.


We all gathered round and we better get back
We are all together but need to leave soon.


Smoking and drinking all we ever do is nothing
Despite our togetherness, we don't accomplish much besides indulging in negative habits.

This is just another sad song
The sorrowful pattern of life continues.


Can this just go on forever
I am unsure if this negative cycle of life will ever end.


Sitting here waiting for the time to slow
I am bored and yearning for time to pass more slowly.


Watching people laugh but I don't really care to know
Although others seem happy, I don't have any interest in their joy or associated details.
