SMASHING PUMPKINS

- Zero Lyrics

My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, I'm your zero
I'm the face in your dreams of glass

So save your prayers
For when you're really gonna need 'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?

She's the one for me
She's all I really need
'Cause she's the one for me

Emptiness is loneliness
And loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness
And God is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness
I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

I never let on
That I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down

You blame yourself
For what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more

She's the one for me
She's all I really need
Oh yes she's the one for me
She's my one and only

What is the meaning behind Zero lyrics?


When we break down the message within the lyrics, the Smashing Pumpkins’ 'Zero' is a song that encompasses problems of self-identity, void, and isolation. The song’s words take the listener through a ride of an individual who is disconnected from himself, tries to find peace with another, and has to fight with his mind against people and social norms. The analogy of 'emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness' shows an intricate combination of the emotional voids, the pressures of society, and the personal troubles, which finally gives birth to the idea of inner conflict and a quest for meaning in the middle of chaos. Generally, Zero lyrics are focused on love, angst, heartbreak, reflection, and solitude. Simultaneously, the song brings to light the aspects of loneliness and emptiness; love and yearning, self-reflection and struggle, and disillusionment. The lyrics speak of loneliness, sorrow, and emotional battles, which might be too much for kids below 13 years old. Words like ‘intoxicated with the madness’ and ‘bullshit fakers’ imply a certain degree of adult content that is best accompanied by parental guidance.

This version, the original one, is the best version. The Evanescence cover is absolute crap in comparison.
