From Zero to Nothing Lyrics
Day after day, recurring self-acting gestures
I can but feel this repetition and stand benumbed
I cannot run away
My existence in dissolution
How could I break this steady cycle to rise instead into light again
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be
When there is no way out
All just become insignificant
I can’t breath
I can’t sleep
Am I dead
No more faith
No more hopes
No more dreams
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be
I can but feel this repetition and stand benumbed
I cannot run away
My existence in dissolution
How could I break this steady cycle to rise instead into light again
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be
All just become insignificant
I can’t breath
I can’t sleep
Am I dead
No more faith
No more hopes
No more dreams
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be

All right, it's my first time on this site but... I'll make it worthwhile!
It's not so hard to notice it but I believe that these lyrics depict the manifestation of one's personal nihilism as you look back at your own life, wondering what's the point of living. Every day feels like an insubstantial routine, having nothing to hold on to and being unable to find something that makes sense out of life.
"When there is no way out All just become insignificant I can't breathe I can't sleep Am I dead No more faith No more hopes No more dreams"
I could relate to this song, since I've had some hollow days while wondering what I'm supposed to live my life for. There might be some faith, passion or goals that you've yet to achieve but until then, you might someday ask yourself what you are doing here... in this life of yours.
I spoke to Benjamin Nominet when Sybreed toured Sydney, and he told me that this song meant the most to him, from the entire Sybreed catalogue.
In hindsight I wish I had asked him to elaborate more on this - because after his sudden departure from the band, with little explanation why or what happened, one can't help but think that the sentiments expressed in the lyrics here might have been a contributing factor in his decision.
