The Actual meaning of this song from the writer of this song, Cy Curnin.. "It was about looking at your own life, not so much about amassing material things but about experiences that lend you to be blissful... The song was written from the point of view of the release you get when you have nothing left to lose. It’s sort of a meditation. It clears your head of all fears and panics and illusions and you get back to the basics, which is a Buddhist mantra, which I practiced back then, and which I still do. The idea of the song is how great it is to get back to zero."

Yep and I'm there now. Went through a divorce and left a man who owned a nice house and now living in poverty, but I got my life back in the process. I knew immediately what the lyrics meant because sometimes less is more. Oh yes, and I'm a woman, not a gay man.

My entire hard life has been kept afloat by this one particular track & my insistence to keep on. But if I wasn't saved by zero early in life I may not have formed an objective point of view. Its easy to become bitter, however life is far more uncomplicated with acceptance & a will to find the next new adventure!! I love THE FIXX for this theme song. I also saw them live @ 6 Flags Atlantis in S Fla 1980s Music was rich, no distortion, excellent act! I'm 54 & worked w/live events for past 28 years( not a musician)

I interpreted this as being an alternative to comparing oneself to the absolute best example. When you compare your self to the worst, you don’t seem so bad. The pressure of perfection can be overwhelming at times.

Jaime Rea , Sweetie, I'm happy as crap you have the God and the Jesus thing going for you but you totally missed the point of the song. You'd make a for shit art critic. God and Jesus bless you child. I believe in these deities also but they have nothing to do with this song. He's singing about his own life experiences which sound like they must have been shitty as hell. No harm meant and blessings on you and your life.
@teresapannells97886 жыл бұрын
Jaime Rea, I'm not trying to start crap but where do you think all the dead souls of people went before Jesus and his book of religion 3,000 years ago? Jesus and the Hebrew God that we Christians call God have only existed for the last 3,000 years. What was going on before that? Before that Jesus had not yet been born and there were MANY Gods. Read your religious history books. The history of all religions is there, in the books of all peoples of all lands far back into antiquity. Read some books. Expand your horizons. Really...I'm serious. No harm meant toward your narrow, constricted, preprogramed view of life. You can't help how you believe or think, someone else indoctrinated you into how you believe and they told you not to explore other peoples beliefs because it was dangerous and you'd go to hell for it. I was taught the same way but somehow I knew someone wasn't being level with me as a child and I knew my elders were hiding shit from me. I learned to read... read a lot.... I began to learn...... learn a lot. Anyway, blessings on you and if your belief makes you happy, then be happy. Radical Muslims believe that strapping bombs on themselves and dying for Allah while killing people who don't believe the things that they believe takes their dead butts straight to heaven.....go figure. If put in a pinch and a life or death position...I would automatically revert back to my milk religion and YES I would proclaim the God and son of my raising. Would this really take me to some fancy heaven???? I don't know. As A Medical field worker both as nurses aid and lpn I do know one thing for certain....dead is dead. Dead seems like it would totally suck.

The 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!

You're saved by the precious blood of Christ that was shed on the cross for all our sins. No one gets out of this world alive in a physical sense because the body you are in will one day die, but you can have assurance that once your time comes, you will have eternal life in the presence of God through Jesus Christ because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord according to 2 Cor. 5:8.

I think they had a couple of hits then faded into the background noise that was known as the 80's. Catchy, has a nice hook too.

Ok we got a group named the FIXX singing a song called saved by O zero. I can only imagine what drug induced spirit lead to the lyrics inspiration . Now we have a VW commercial singing a song about O zero my hero? I would never drive a VW simply because VW could be represented as V VV or 666 in Hebrew.You see where Im going with this. So Who is O zero ?Really you don't know yet?? .Why don't you ask someone in Hollywood or ask Opra.Don"t worry about adding a reply until after the inauguration.Because if O is still ruling after the 20th of January .Americas Identity as Babylon in Prophecy and her king O in Isaiah Ch14 will be easy to see.
