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 ↴
But It Drops Down On Me This Weight Of Time
And The Pain In Their Eyes
I Crawled Along My Cracked And Narrow Path
And Saw My Reflection In Some Broken Glass
It Was Blood Red Blood Red And It Said
That The Years They Stay And Then Move On
And Like Yesterday You Have Come And Gone
But I Know That Eventhough There Is Summer
There Is Also A Fall
The Cold Will Stay The Warmth Will Leave (Whispers)
If To Live Is To Sin Then This Must Be Done
For Whatever You Do Is Evil To Someone
But It's Killing Me It's Killing Me
So I'm Headed Out To That Road That Winds Forever And Ever
But It Drops Down On Me The Weight Of Time
And The Pain In Their Eyes
Standing Here On My Freedoms Shore
There Is Nothing Left There Is Nothing More
Than To Rise So High And Then To Fall
Some Songs Are Prayers And This One Prays
"It Is Better To Live Free For A Moment Than A
Slave For A Day"
So Just Fade Away
Fade Away
Fade Away
The song Reflections by Zero Hour revolves around the theme of the passage of time, mortality, and the perpetual cycle of life and death. The opening lines of the song "All I Need Now Is Some Golden Wings That I May Fly" reflect the singer's desire for transcendence or freedom from the constraints of time, which is further highlighted in the line "But It Drops Down On Me This Weight Of Time." The pain and sorrow in the world are also a source of reflection for the singer, which, as expressed in the line "And The Pain In Their Eyes," evoke a sense of bleakness and despair.
As the song progresses, the singer metaphorically describes their life as a "cracked and narrow path" upon which they have been crawling. This is followed by a reflective moment where they see their reflection in broken glass, which appears red with blood, symbolizing the passage of time and the burden it places on one's life. The singer acknowledges that the years move on and time keeps ticking, a reminder of our fleeting existence.
The last section of the song reflects the singer's desire for freedom, which can only be achieved by facing life's challenges head-on. The line "If To Live Is To Sin Then This Must Be Done" serves as a reminder that life comes with its challenges, and in the pursuit of freedom, we may have to make tough choices. Ultimately the song's message is one of hope and resilience, that even when faced with life's difficulties, it's possible to rise above and seize the day.
