I think everybody is right about the meaning of the song - It sounds like a "pathological love" or obsession, BUT... i think there is an "Easter Egg" hidden in the lyrics. I used to think this song was about obsession, unrequited love or an abusive one, but the name of the song (NUMBER ONE ZERO) and the solo that begins like blues and ends like a machine beeping (by the way, an amazing solo!) "bugged" my mind. After some years listening to the song, i don't think its about a man or a woman singing to the loved one, but this song is about a MACHINE TALKING TO IT'S OWNER. This song is about AI. The machine/robot says its job and it "will keep him/her on the corner of it's eyes" no matter what happens, It is saying that it's job is to serve (sometimes as a king, in other times like a pawn) and It will be there by his/her side accepting that humans are childish, violent and change their minds just because: ""Ill be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song. I'll be there to take the fall, Though you tread upon me for no reason at all" "I will never leave your side though you call me your number one zero Your never mind... I'll be your king, I'll be your pawn I will build a pedestal and put you upon it" -> You don't care about me, im just a machine. JUST some "NUMBER ONE ZERO" (reference to the binary code). I think this song is a critique about the way we live "blind" and project this on all the others - even to our creations. This song is a MASTER PIECE. Next time you listen to this AMAZING SONG imagine yourself as a Intelligent Machine talking to your Owner/Master. It's a powerful. |
