(Video: Ivan Villafuerte) Please go to: Track 16 From NIN: “Year Zero“ (2007) Lyrics They’re starting to open up the sky They’re starting to reach down through And it feels like we’re living in that split-second Of a car crash And time is slowing down And if we only had a little more time And this time Is all there is Do you remember the time we And all the times we And should have And were going to I know And I know you remember How we could justify it all And we knew better In our hearts we knew better And we told ourselves it didn’t matter And we chose to continue And none of that matters anymore In the hour of our twilight And soon it will be all said and done And we will all be back together as one If we will continue at all Shame on us Doomed from the start May God have mercy On our dirty little hearts Shame on us For all we’ve done And all we ever were Just zeros and ones And you never get away And you never get to take the easy way And all of this is a consequence Brought on by our own hand If you believe in that sort of thing And did you ever really find When you closed your eyes Any place that was still And at peace And I guess I just wanted to tell you As the light starts to fade That you are the reason That I am not afraid And I guess I just wanted to mention As the heavens will fall We will be together soon if we Will be anything at all Shame on us Doomed from the start May God have mercy On our dirty little hearts Shame on us For all we’ve done And all we ever were Just zeros and ones Song title: In game theory and economic theory, zero-sum describes a situation in which a participant’s gain or loss is exactly balanced by the losses or gains of the other participant(s). It is so named because when the total gains of the participants are added up, and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero. The strategy game Go is an example of a zero-sum game. As a reference to the end of the world, the title could also be alluding to the phrase “ashes to ashes, dust to dust“. The phrase comes from the Bible passages “Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return“ (Genesis 3:19) and “I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee“ (Ezekiel 28:18), the relation to the song being that humanity was born from nothing and to nothing it will return, a total gain of nothing or “zero-sum“.
