Zeromancer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody online?
It's the beginning of the end
You want things to go faster
It's the beginning of the end
Now everything's too slow for you
It's the beginning of the end
You are one step closer
It's the beginning of the end

Say Amen

[Chorus]
1-800-SUICIDE
Or maybe Doctor Online could help you die
You need wings to fly
You need someone
To take your place
When you are gone

It's the beginning of the end
You know nothing last forever
A beginning of a trend
You need someone there to care for you
It's the beginning of the end
I don't think you understand
Just a beginning of a flatline
Together

[Chorus: x2]

Thank you for calling 1-800-SUICIDE
If you wish to self terminate by electric shock press one
For termination by overdose press two
If you would like to make a reservation at the end of our drowning pool please press three
For termination by hanging please press four
For death by self inflicted gunshot press five
To speak to a representative, stay on the line
If you do not wish to die please hang up now

[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

Zeromancer's "Doctor Online" is a song that seems to shine the spotlight on the negative aspects of society's reliance on technology and the internet. The lyrics suggest that people nowadays are seeking the fastest and most convenient solutions to their problems, and that the internet has become a go-to source for help, even for serious issues like suicide. The song highlights the dangers of this dependence on technology, as it can lead to isolation and an inability to cope with real-life problems, which could ultimately lead to one's demise.

The chorus emphasizes the idea that people need someone to take their place when they are gone, which suggests a lack of meaningful connections and relationships in modern society. The use of the 1-800-SUICIDE hotline number in the lyrics, which is a real-life organization that provides crisis intervention, further drives home the point that people are turning to technology for help instead of human interaction.
