| The Fixx – Saved By Zero Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The protagonist is "SAVED" by the fact that he can GO no LOWER. He was a failure in free fall...thinking he would ultimately be defeated or destroyed...all his hopes finally crushed ("my dreams disown me")...when he is rescued by the fact that he has HIT absolute bottom (zero), could GO no lower, BEFORE he was destroyed! Since he reaches bottom (zero) before destruction, that bottom (or lack of anything worse, smaller or lower) provides him with a "floor" of base survival, from which (one hopes) he can...possibly...rise up. Maybe he can even, SOMEDAY, WIN/succeed...having been saved, NOW, by zero! |

The protagonist is SAVED by the fact that he can GO no LOWER. He was in free fall, all in his life failing...thinking he would ultimately be defeated or destroyed...all his hopes finally crushed ("my dreams disown me")...when he was rescued by the fact that he had HIT absolute bottom (zero), could GO no lower, BEFORE he was destroyed! Since he reached bottom (zero) before destruction, that bottom (or lack of anything worse, smaller or lower) provides him with a floor of base survival, from which (one hopes) he can...possibly...rise up. Maybe he can even, someday, WIN/succeed...having been saved, NOW, by zero! |
