Saved By Zero

The Fixx

Maybe someday, saved by zero
I'll be more together
Stretched by fewer thoughts that leave me
Chasing after my dreams, disown me, loaded with danger

So maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Holding onto words that teach me
I will conquer space around me

So maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)

(Saved by zero, saved by zero)

So maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Who needs to win (saved by zero)

Saved by, saved by, save-saved by zero
Saved by, saved by, save-saved by zero
Saved by, saved by, save-saved by zero (saved by zero)
Saved by, saved by, save-saved by zero
Saved by, saved by, save-saved by zero
Saved by zero (saved by, saved by, save-saved by zero)

    General CommentI caught the band on MySpace and posed the question: "Saved by Zero, what is it about?" They got back to me pronto. Jamie's response: "Simply, you can't fall from the floor."

    General CommentThe 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!

    My InterpretationThe song is about what you do not do that can actually save you. We all have the notion of fate and destiny. Think about a close call that you experienced. Fate or not making a decision to do nothing may be your best plan.

    General CommentThis song is a beauty !! Hard to decipher the meaning if it has one ie ;) but maybe this is about being alone and hence self reliant or the singer is talking about how with coupla more zeros he'll be rich and eventually be saved.

    General CommentIt's Buddhism. Saved by zero, saved by nothing, salvation through Nirvana. Maybe someday fewer thoughts...

    Song MeaningIn the music video for the song, the artist is saved by not being successful and "selling out" to rich people who have only a shallow understanding of art. It's not clear if he succeeds through failure or by never trying.
    There's also a "Club Zero" sign on the top of the building, but that's probably just there to help the song title stick in your head. So you can remember what to ask for when you get to the record store.

    General CommentAccording to Cy Curnin it's about "doing away with encumbrances. Zero is the point of relaxation.”
    great song from a great underappreciated band.
