Audioslave: #1 Zero Meaning


#1 Zero Lyrics

Listen now, let me speak
I will be the dog at your feet
And come along when you call
Be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song
I'll be there to take the fall
Though you tread upon me for no reason at all

[Chorus]
But...

    I think it's about having a deceiving person in your life you've just realised is betraying you, and planning to get them back. I had a manipulative friend that wanted to treat me like his "dog" and wanted me to worship him an put him "on a pedestal". He had massive ego, every word out of his mouth was a lie. I needed to watch him and keep him in the corner of my eye so I'd have control. He told me I was his best friend but really I was just his "no. 1 zero", get it, just a loser he could use.

    No, stupid. You can't find the message of the song by looking at one line. And not every fucking song is about drug-addiction, you silly emo.

    At first I thought this was a song with some kind of stalker-ish message. But, one day it kind of hit me: I wonder if this has some kind of cocaine-addiction undertone? The "I will keep you in the corner of my eye" part is what did it. Perhaps Chris Cornel had some kind of double-meaning?

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
