The band has since disbanded due to Troy Tipton's arm injury. Jasun Tipton stated "...he had the surgery and has been working hard to get back into playing shape. He’ll never be perfect but he’s gaining some strength in his arm and pushing forward. Much of the Zero Hour material Troy played with a lot of left hand strength. In Zero Hour there’s a lot of tapping and legato bass line in the material. Troy can’t and will not put his arm through those problems again as he still has issues." Jasun & Troy are now focusing on two new projects: the instrumental act Abnormal Thought Patterns and the vocally-driven Cynthesis.

Zero Hour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't believe the things you say
No more I cannot stay
I feel our time is over
I have always been the same
I am not the one to blame
Yourself and don't complain
I can't take this I can't fake this
Sometimes I just want to break it
No I can't just walk away
So much more we have to say
You love me I will stay
Maybe the pain is over
Long as you can bear the shame
I am not the one to blame
Is yours so don't complain
Maybe the hurt is over
Anger coming
Can't control me
Lost in agony
Pain is growing
Hatred growing
Anger flowing
The hating elevating
I feel my control is fading
Hear me as I plead
You better stay away from me
Pressure flowing
And now my anger is showing
The hating elevating
And now my control is fading
I will turn and walk away
Can't believe the things you say
No more I cannot stay
I feel our time is over
I have always been the same
I am not the one to blame
Is yours I feel no pain
I feel my life is over
The lyrics of Zero Hour's song Losing Control express intense emotions of desperation and anger towards a relationship that appears to have come to an end. The first stanza reveals the singer's decision to leave based on the hurtful statements they have heard from their partner. They perceive that the relationship has run its course, and this feeling is driven home in the second stanza, where they state that they have always been consistent in their actions, despite the blame that may be thrown their way.
Although the song seems to suggest that the couple can still work on their issues and maybe salvage the situation, the anger flowing from the singer's words suggests that they feel trapped and hopeless. The lyrics depict the singer grappling with their feelings of pain and hurt, as they struggle to keep control of their temper. This struggle is seen in the refrain, "The hating elevating, I feel my control is fading," and this leads to pleas for their partner to stay away in the final stanza.
The song depicts the emotions that come with the breakdown of a relationship, and the feelings of overwhelming pain and anger at the realization that something one has been building was a waste of time. The lyrics express the intensity of these emotions and the need for space to heal and for the relationship to end amicably if possible.
