They create a boundless mixture that is true to an individual style rather than being a lump of things. The second album takes all the best ideas always consistent to the sound of the band and expands them to a trip into life itself. Where words express emotions like hate, love, angst & hope, the music starts rebuilding them and help shape a world the listener is drawn into. ZERO MENTALITY’s sound is familiar to those who like Metal riffs, rockin’ song-structures, nihilistic vocal approaches as well as heartfelt voices, plus speedy attacks.

What I See
Zero Mentality Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see suffering and sorrow i see wickedness and pain vicious people stop
At nothing and get fame inhumanity is what i see death is certain in
Transitional times their overload of compassion an overdose of bullshit
And lies hypocrisiy is what i see the end justifies the means in these days
Humanity fails in multiple ways i see acceptance of violance and
Acceptance of crime moral decay is societys decline and societys
Decline means another ones rise with increasing ignorance a world filled
With lies it might be my downfall the end of the strife but i try to carry on

And i try to survive from time to time this shit drags me down i find myself

With a constant frown anger and fear make me fly into rage
What i see is tyranny in a new age
