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? |

Shake it like a ladder to the sun
(describes sensation of flight)
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
(kamakazis are crazy and are being chased by u.s. plane and ground defenses)
Find me, never, never far gone
(cause i'm about to smash into a target)
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on
(leather flight outfit)
Your zero
What's your name?
No one's going to ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
(that's all pretty self explanatory- no one cares who you are and here is your target.)
Try and hit the spot
(hello?!)
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
(bing bong! thank you!)
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?
(instead of crashing into stuff and blowing people up can you please rise above that?)
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
What's your name?
(is smashing into things with a plane or running into a crowd with a bomb the cure to anything?)
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?

Also, I think it's crime and not crying. (Also it's a bitch to type in this reply box.)
I think it's def about sex, though not specifically prostitution. I think it's just a contrived random sex, like a sex club...hit the spot, could be not just the place to go to meet someone for sex, but then also hitting the spot in bed. It seems this song is sung to a man, who is probably pretty conservative, and is trying to climb the ladder (to the sun).

My interpretation is based a lot on the video, but I think this song is about Karen (or any star) psyching herself up for a performance, maybe on the road.
"You're zero" - could refer to how impersonal a rock "star" gets treated by the venue staff, or maybe she means zero as in Ground Zero, or maybe this is her reminding herself she's really not that special a star after all to keep herself humble, or maybe all 3!
"What's your name, no one's gonna ask you better find out where they want you to go" - the staff directing her to her spot on stage before the performance, not caring what her name is, just treating her like a product
"Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark" - she's trying to learn her stage mark in the dark (when you perform on stage they usually put marks down to help you remember where to stand, but you have to go find them in the dark when the lights are down before the performance begins)
"Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, of love
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?" - you have to perform even if you're lovesick, and climbing higher refers to her escalating her performance and always striving to be better
Well, that's what I think so far! I'd sure like to see an interview with Karen (I assume she wrote the lyrics?) about this song...

Shaking (your right hand) like a ladder to the sun(reaching a climax)
Makes me feel like a mad man on the run (elated, crazy)
Hit the spot (please don't make me explain...) get to know it in the dark
Whether your crying... (getting off makes you feel btter when your blue)
Climbing... (climbing toward climax)
And finally, Zero (0) is similar to the shape of a vagina.
Gotta Love karen O

Shellshock - was it the cure?
Hope not!
She rocks his world. Is he now socially adept? Hope not! She gets to keep him (no mention of for how long).

"Your a zero
What's your name?
No one's going to ask you
Better find out where they want you to go"
No body cares about you, therefore they do not need to know your name. It is how (some of the) famous people treat the everyday person (losers)

"What's your name?
No one's going to ask you"
and then the ending still ends up asking WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?? !! Like they're not such losers anyway and someone still ends up frantically asking your name.
But only after you've got your leather on :))))):)(

my initial idea was that "zero" is like a size, like clothing size zero in america. and i thought that it is about someone who is appearance obsessed and has no real individual identity except trying to make it to the top, socially. No one cares about what they name is, or there opinon just that they look good. also the leather parts i think are not necessarily about s&m but the idea of leather as some sort of sexy outfit and protection to hid your true self in.
So in conclusion it is about some thin floozy, no one cares about her really just that she looks good. and she puts on her "sized zero outfits" (the leather part) for appeal and protection.

well the cure could be, has she made the right decision just being all about appearances. and the shell shock is the realisation that she is a no one, and no one cares for her real name. and then she hopes that she is still in a world where her lifestyle seems right and a good decision

"Shake it, like a LIGHTER to the sun" as in to check for liquid gas in your lighter,... you know how people do that lol... then that links onto the "mad man on the run" because cigarettes can give you an overwhelming feeling , or just the whole obsession with fire or whatever.
or it doesnt have to relate to either of those things. but yes i think its about a prostitute.
but im beginning to agree, its LADDER..
but then why would you shake a LADDER TO THE SUN? lol....

Look at the lyrics:
"like a ladder to the sun" - allusion to Rising Sun
"find out where they want you to go" - referring to the destination of a suicide mission
"try and hit the spot" - obvious, hit the intended target
"climb, climb, climb higher" - plane ascending before dive-bomb impact
"was it the cure? shellshock!" - shellshock obviously a reference to wartime, "was it the cure" probably meaning that such suicide missions didn't win the war for the Japanese and only caused thousands of meaningless deaths

Your a zero. No one gives a shit about you, they don't care who you are, so you have to make a hit in the hopes of climbing higher.
