What did you want from me?
A hand, a lung
My stomach, a flower
The life you gave me
We're electricity
We don't know how to stay alone in silence
At our age
Don't you notice?
You change the weather
Inside these eyes of mine it's winter
They've never shone for anybody
But for you tonight
I'd strip even if it's freezing
I'd play the fool, the fool for you
I wasn't clear-headed
The only thought
I didn't realize
That I was all those things you really wanted
Zero
I've been waiting my whole life
Forgive me if it takes guts to be me
But what do you know? Nothing
Your lips are my cradle
And I wish it felt the same
When silver hair
Reminds us we're nobody
But for you tonight
I'd strip even if it's freezing
I'd play the fool, the fool for you
I wasn't clear-headed
The only thought
I didn't realize I was
All those things you really wanted
Zero
But for you tonight
I'd strip even if it's freezing
I'd play the fool, the fool for you
I wasn't clear-headed
The only thought
I didn't realize I was
All those things you really wanted
Zero

SONG MEANING

Zero turns a simple love confession into a dramatic, almost cinematic declaration of devotion. Benji lists the extremes he is willing to reach—offering a hand, a lung, even his stomach—illustrating just how completely he would give himself to the other person. The imagery of shared elettricità captures that magnetic pull of young love, the urgency to stay connected, and the refusal to sit still in silence. Amid cold nights and frozen air, he would still strip down, act “stupido,” and risk everything simply to see the other person’s smile.

Beneath that passion lies insecurity. Repeating the word Zero, Benji admits that despite all his sacrifices, he often feels like nothing, unsure whether his love is truly enough. He asks for forgiveness for needing courage to be himself, and he dreams that their bond will remain just as nurturing when their hair turns silver. The song mixes fearless romance with raw vulnerability, showing that love can make us feel both powerful and powerless at once—that even when we feel like zero, giving our all can still light up the night.
