Zero Point Lyrics

I found out at Zero Ground
I found out at Zero Point
I found out at Zero Ground
I found out at Zero Point Libra

Nikolai said it.

will we be abandoned again
in this desert they called Paris

I found out at Zero Ground
I found out at Zero Point
I caved in did you win
finally excavated

Nikolai said it again.

will we do just the same thing again
will we do just the same thing again
in this desert they call Paris

I found out at Zero Ground
I found out at Zero Point
I found out at Zero Ground
I found out at Zero Point Libra

Nikolai said it to me
Nikolai swore to me again
Nikolai said it to me
‘I’ll be holding her hand till it’s warm
Holding her head above water
Holding her hand till it’s warm yes
holding her head above water’

Nikolai said it to me
Nikolai said it to me

Will we be abandoned again honey
Will we be abandoned again
Will we be abandoned again
in this desert called Paris

I found out at Zero Ground
I found out at Zero Point
I found out at Zero Ground
I found out at Zero Point Libra
Nikolai said again

I got my honey on a Lemon on me
I gotta ride it to the Infantry
I gotta way to get to you
honey Niña in your sleep
I gotta way to my Baby oh yeah
I gotta way to my sister oh yeah
I gotta way to get to that Vatican Library
I gotta way to my ohm oh yeah
I gotta way to my ohm oh yeah
I gotta way to get to that thing

I gotta way to my ohm oh yeah
I got my ‘Humma’ to my baby oh yeah
I gotta way to get to IT

I gotta way to my ohm oh yeah

I gotta way to get to that Thing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't believe I'm the first person to comment on this song but --- my pleasure.

Tori says this song was inspired by Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series, which concerns the writings of the ancient Sumerians and their ideas regarding time. "It talks about Rome ending -- B.C. and then A.D. -- and the idea of what was supposed to happen at zero point", she explains. "I found there to be a strange correlation between America being the super power that it is and Rome being the super power that it was, and what comes along with that kind of power... how you can really forget the responsibility that you have to humanity. The ego becomes bigger than spirituality". -Tori; Sept 11, 2006

To be honest, it took me many listens to actually get into this song. But the venus (my second favorite album by her) vibe is there. This song is a freakin' mess. Awesome!

"Zero point, your time is coming." I remember that line in the Venus booklet.

Other than the fact that she releases some b-sides much later than usual, "we are now entering the photon band" and the part about the Maya are more appropriate now than it was when Venus was released. We're close to 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar and the supposed shift in consciousness.

This song is like a trip through the synth dark-world. The consistent Nikolai said makes me feel like she's referring to a broken promise of sorts. The last 4 minutes feel like finding your own way after being abandoned again.

"Will we be abandoned again?" We were never abandoned. They never stopped trying to help us. They're still here, trying to help us. Rome never fell. I'm 99.9% sure Zero Point is about the fall of the empire that is yet to come. We're almost there. Hang in there, EWF.

@AncestorDescendant What does EWF mean?

by AncestorDescendant 5y ago

@AoH 'EWF' means 'Ears with Feet'. That was how Tori used to refer to her listeners in the 90's because she didn't like the term 'fan' which denotes subservience, as in Cleopatra being carried as fans are waved at her, that kind of thing. Tori's more of an Arsinoe type, I'd say.
