They began as studio engineers at Mickie Most's RAK recording studio in London, engineering music for British groups like the Pet Shop Boys, Young Disciples, and Robert Plant. In 1997 they were asked by a college friend, Nigel Godrich (who was busy producing 'OK Computer'), to remix Radiohead's "Climbing Up the Walls". They called the mix "the Zero 7 Mix" which stuck.

Zero 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
And now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite
The journey's long
And I feel so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know that I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
And soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home
The song "Destiny" by Zero 7 featuring Sia is an emotional ballad about two people who are separated but still bound to each other by fate. The first verse portrays the singer in a low state, lying in bed watching pornography in a hotel room, but still dreaming of the person they long for. The second verse conveys the distance between the two, with the singer reminiscing about the last time they were together, and how they draw strength and life from each other despite being miles apart. The chorus emphasizes the idea that they are meant to be together, no matter what obstacles come in their way.
The lyrics are very melancholic and reflective, conveying a sense of longing and yearning for a loved one. The lines "When I'm weak I draw strength from you, and when you're lost I know how to change your mood" and "Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny" denote a deep emotional connection and understanding that they share, a connection that they believe cannot be broken no matter the circumstances.
The song is beautifully composed, with hauntingly beautiful vocals by Sia and a mellow background score by Zero 7. The lyrics, combined with the music, create a sorrowful yet hopeful atmosphere, evoking a range of emotions in the listener. The overall message of the song is that true love transcends distance and time and that destiny will always bring two people together despite the obstacles.
Line by Line Meaning
I lie awake
I am unable to sleep
I've gone to ground
I've retreated or isolated myself
I'm watching porn
I'm consuming explicit content
In my hotel dressing gown
I'm wearing comfortable clothing in a temporary dwelling
And now I dream of you
You are on my mind as I sleep
But I still believe
I hold onto hope
There's only enough for one in this
This space is meant for one person only
Lonely hotel suite
This hotel room is an empty, desolate place for me
The journey's long
The road ahead is far and difficult
And I feel so bad
I am overwhelmed with negative emotions
I'm thinking back to the last day we had.
I am reminiscing on the last time we were together
Old moon fades into the new
The past is left behind as time moves on
Soon I know that I'll be back with you
I am confident in our reunion
I'm nearly with you
I am getting closer to you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
You give me the power to overcome my weaknesses
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
I know how to uplift you when you're feeling down
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
You help me feel alive and energized when I'm feeling low
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
Our connection is meant to be, despite the distance between us
On a clear day
Under favorable conditions
I'll fly home to you
I will travel to be with you
I'm bending time getting back to you
I am figuratively utilizing all means necessary to return to you quickly
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I will travel home to be with you
And soon I know I'll be back with you
We will be reunited soon

Destiny - Lyrics
[Verse 1: Sia]

I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
And now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one
In this lonely hotel suite
[Verse 2: Sia]
The journey's long
And I feel so bad

[Pre-Chorus: Sia]
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
[Chorus: Sia & Sophie Barker]
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
[Verse 3: Sia]
On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time
Getting back to you
[Pre-Chorus: Sia]
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

I'm Russian and I don't understand many of the words in this song, but I feel every one of them. Zero 7 has been on my playlist for over 10 years and will never leave. I am sad and happy with them, they are always waiting for me, my refuge, like my medicine, like my drug, to which I will always return ..))) I have all the albums, and many Russians also love this music, How? very simple: there are many nations, and there is only one music))) this is the soul of the world
