Zero

About this song

The song shares its name with Billy Corgan's iconic "ZERO" shirt, which he wore for much of the Siamese Dream tour. Corgan wrote it as a response to the public's view of him as a rock god.

What it's about

The song expresses Corgan's reluctance to take on the rock god role, which he believes can only lead to emptiness. It becomes a kind of alter ego in which he sets aside his ego and declares himself worth nothing.
