Zero Lyrics
Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run Find me, never, never far gone So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on Your zero What's your name? No one's going to ask you Better find out where they want you to go Try and hit the spot Get to know it in the dark Get to know it whether you're Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh Can you climb, climb, climb higher? Shake it like a ladder to the sun Makes me feel like a madman on the run No you're never, never far gone So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on Your zero What's your name? No one's going to ask you Better find out where they want you to go Try and hit the spot Get to know it in the dark Get to know it whether you're Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh Can you climb, climb, climb higher? Was it the cure? Shellshock! Was it the cure? Hope not! Was it the cure? Shellshock! Was it the cure? What's your name? Your zero What's your name? No one's going to ask you Better find out where they want you to go Try and hit the spot Get to know it in the dark Get to know it whether you're Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh Can you climb, climb, climb higher? Was it the cure? Shellshock! Was it the cure? Hope not! Was it the cure? Shellshock! Was it the cure? Hope not! What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? |

This song seems like one of the songs for the outcasts. Something for the people whom aren't socially "in". That's what I believe the reference to the ladder & climbing comes in at. Like climbing up the social ladder towards popularity. It could actually be that the song is more about how they(or at least Karen O) feel in regards to the whole hoopla surrounding them.
YYYs were never one to make political statements with their music, so I doubt that they have made this song with the intention to speak about the war & such.

Next we have an incomplete sentence. Need I say more?
I guess the next one is OK since I'm not sure of the rules regarding subject/verb agreement when one such possible subject is in parentheses. I'm not an English major, but I would guess verb goes with the subject on the outside. However, you should have used a space before the opening parenthesis.
Lastly, plural was never one.
Any, I suck. I just thought it would be fun to fuck around and pick this shit apart.
Good song though.

"get to know whether you're a crime, crime, crime of love"
cause if you hear her live, it sort of sounds like that.
but in spin, they used "crying, crying, crying alone".
but i think of love sounds better than alone

adding: does the continual "what's your name?" at the end of the song refer to frequently dealing with complete strangers possibly

The lyrics tend to waver between optimism (Shake it like a ladder to the sun) and nervous self-consciousness (Makes me feel like mad man on the run), but in general they are meant to encourage and empower (Get your leather on).
Here's my really general interpretation of the chorus:
You're a Zero. What's your name? No one's gonna ask you. (Who cares about you? Nobody really does.)
Better find out where they want you to go (There are people pressurizing you about what to do)
Try and hit the spot, get to know it in the dark (You'll succeed if you're good at what you do)
Get to know whether you're crying, crying, crying, oh oh (Learn from your pain)
Can you climb, climb, climb higher? (Move on and continue to believe in yourself)

"Shake it like a ladder to the sun" -- the box, Equality's harnessing electricity
"Makes me feel like a madman on the run" -- fleeing the panel after his idea was condemned
"Better find out where they want you to go." -- A collective mentality; Equality's unwillingness to conform whole-heartedly to his society.
There are others, too.
