#SavedByZero by #TheFixx (1983)
(for @Da_Gut)
"Maybe someday
Saved by zero
I'll be more together
Stretched by fewer
Thoughts that leave me
Chasing after
My dreams disown me
Loaded with danger
So, maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Holding on to
Words that teach me
I will conquer
Space around me
So, maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
So, maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Maybe I'll win (saved by zero)
Who needs to win (saved by zero)
Saved by zero "

The Fixx’s moody, atmospheric “Saved by Zero” might have seemed like a strange choice as a lead single for their second album Reach the Beach. Not only does the song lack a big chorus, but the concept of someone being saved by a number is esoteric for a radio hit. As it turns out, there are at least two meaningful ways to interpret the song’s title phrase. Let’s take a look at the message Curnin tried to get across in this 1983 hit, and the more literal interpretation he has grown to appreciate.
