Zero Point

ALBUM DETAILS

Zero Point is an exploration of power.

Inspired by the concept of Zero Point Energy—the immense energy theorized to exist even within apparent emptiness—the album examines the forces that exist beneath the surface of human experience.

While outwardly a hard-hitting collection of rock, metal, industrial, and alternative influences, the album is ultimately about transformation through adversity.

The songs confront subjects such as pain, deception, mortality, resilience, identity, corruption, fear, and rebirth.

Rather than avoiding darkness, Zero Point moves directly through it.

Each song represents a different manifestation of struggle, while the album as a whole explores what remains when everything unnecessary has been stripped away.

Without breath I scream in vain

9mm is spoken from the perspective of a man who is in a relationship where his woman is angry and frustrated. There are many arguments and her words cut him deep even if he does not express it. 

It is his attempt to express that her words may at times feel like a 9mm bullet that pierce thru his flesh and soul.
9MM explores power, consequence, and the realities that emerge when conflict escalates beyond words.

The song examines fear, control, and the choices people make under pressure.

Deep Dive

The weapon serves as a symbol rather than merely an object.

It represents potential.

Power.

Responsibility.

Irreversible consequence.

The song explores how decisions made in moments of intensity can permanently alter lives.

Pulse
Pulse

Flames crawl through veins constricted
Anger drowns all sound
Silence rising upward
As the walls come crashing down
Closer to the pounding
Of a jaw clenched tight in rage
Pulsing with frustration
Like an animal in cage
Surrounded by the pressure
Lashes of accusation
Ripped flesh falling downward
Through twisted fabrication
Reality is broken
Evicted from its home
Without a warning given
Now everything is gone
Torn
Shattered

Memories and illusions
Of truth begin to spin
Stirring up a sickness
In the cauldron deep within
A festering fire raging
Crimson fumes I breathe
Scorching every pathway
Of all I used to need

Demons
Demons

They circle all around me
They whisper through the flame
They know my every fracture
They call me by my name

Demons
Demons

They rise up from the shame
They feed upon the weakness
They hunger for the pain

This endless frozen moment
Where time forgets to move
Bloodshot eyes wide open
With nothing left to prove
Pain locked deep inside me
Inside this seething wound
Tears fall from the chambers
Of a heart consumed
Drop by drop
Tick before tock
Second hand stays frozen
On the face of the clock
Locked there on the ten
Where surrender starts to choke
With my fist around its throat
I refuse to let it close

I scream at all the shadows
Still stalking for the kill
Circling in silence
Waiting for me still
Ready now to drain me
Waiting for the fall
Waiting for the exhale
Waiting for my call

You will not pull me under
You will not take my soul
I rise above the ashes
And I take back control

Demons is meant to describe the depths of someones pain. In this case it is a man describing his anguish, pain, shame and hurt from lifelong events that have caused regret.

Demons describes the inescapable haunting of pain that can be consuming of the soul.
Demons was inspired by the internal battles people carry throughout their lives.

The song reflects struggles with fear, regret, addiction, trauma, self-doubt, and the aspects of ourselves we would often prefer not to confront.

The demons are intentionally left open to interpretation.

They may represent:

Personal fears
Destructive habits
Emotional wounds
Mental health struggles
Unresolved trauma

The song suggests that true strength emerges not from denying these battles but from confronting them directly.

I’m trapped inside this captive mind
I can’t slow down
This wave runs through me

I’ve got no time
And I wonder why
This cup is full
Yet drops keep raining

Static inside
Can’t kill the noise
Every thought arrives
Without a warning

I close my eyes
But still it rides
The engine screaming
Forward burning




Still time keeps burning
My mind is turning
My chest is pounding
There is no doubt that

Can’t live without it
I need this pace quick
Can’t separate
Or anticipate it




A bullet train
My brain

Here comes another one

A bullet to my brain

A bullet train

Here comes another one

Sometimes I feel
I’ve gone insane

A bullet train
My brain

Can’t stop this

Wreck that’s on its way

A bullet train
Crash crash

Whiplash

I’m gonna make it through this day




So tired
Of feeling all alone
Sometimes I think
Nobody hears me

At home
In darkness by the phone
Hoping one call
Could finally clear me

Pressure builds
Behind my eyes
Like sparks igniting
Endless fire

Still I run
Through every night
The engine climbing
Higher higher




Mind is racing
Thoughts displacing
Mind can’t take it
Can’t rearrange it

Mind is racing
Thoughts displacing
Mind can’t take it
Got to accept this

Life





Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

Six thousand fathoms down I sink

Exsanguination is a term that means the loss of blood from the circulatory system. It is designed to paint a picture of someone who feels as if they are seeping their soul out of their pores. 

The song describes being overcome with pain and feeling they are losing themselves and becoming overcome and consumed by pain.

The hope is that he will survive and not "bleed out."
Exsanguination explores exhaustion, depletion, and the feeling of having every resource drained away.

The song was inspired by moments when individuals feel emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually depleted.

The loss of blood becomes a metaphor for the loss of energy, hope, motivation, or identity.

The song asks what remains when everything appears to have been taken.

Its deeper message suggests that survival itself can become an act of resistance.

Ever after
Deep inside

Linger longer
Curling under

No more fighting

I am the voice beneath your voice
I am the hand that guides your choice
I am the calm before the flood
I am the taste inside your blood

Feel me rise
Feel me crawl
Feel me enter

Feel me breathe
Feel me feed

Steps in the dark and I'm coming for you
Born from the wounds you were feeding me through

Faker is written from the perspective of an evil dark force. It is written from the Luciferian force that endeavors to convince our minds it does not exist. It will 'fake' being illegitimate and unbeknownst to us if we are not vigilant, we may be consumed by its seductive power.
Faker examines deception, false identities, and the masks people wear to gain approval, influence, or power.

The song challenges superficiality and performative authenticity.

The faker represents more than an individual.

The figure becomes symbolic of any situation where appearance replaces substance.

The song asks how often people sacrifice authenticity in pursuit of acceptance.

life of pain

Watchillie

I try to remain positive
But lately
I live beneath a waterfall
Of pain

Each day I'm amazed that breathing
Is a gamble my lungs still take
Every dawn arrives like warning
Every step another break
Buried beneath this shadow
Is the house where my heart decays
Rooms full of old tomorrows
Locked in yesterdays
When lying beside you
And dying inside you
Is the darkness that I inhale
The face that I worship
The void that you surface
The poison I know too well

No road leads outward
No sky lets through
Every choice cuts deeper
Back to you

Because it's pain
That is my life
This sharpened shame
Has become my knife
The blade that gashes
The jaw that gnashes
The hand that makes me crawl
Because without this pain
I wouldn't feel at all

This face with the smile that found me
Now drifts like ash through memory
When did love become this canyon
This narrowing misery
With knees bent before you
With hands reaching for you
I collapse against the floor
When begging for healing
Becomes something needing
You close and lock the door

My candle is dimming
The daylight withdraws
Still I wait for rainbows
Inside your storm

Because it's pain
That is my life
This sharpened shame
Has become my knife
The blade that gashes
The jaw that gnashes
The hand that makes me crawl
Because without this pain
I wouldn't feel at all

Why must I land
Why must I stand
On hollow ground
Beneath your crown
Your want
My need
Your will
I bleed

Take me now
Take me now

Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
I kneel
I choke
I drown
I cope

Because it's pain
That is my life
This sharpened shame
Has become my knife
The blade that gashes
The jaw that gnashes
The last that makes me fall
Because without this pain
Because without this pain
Because without this pain
I wouldn't feel at all

Under the waterfall

Life of Pain is written to describe someone overcome with regret and pain and feels he cannot escape it. He is trying to improve and taking steps to heal but lately it feels he is held hostage and tortured by pain.

As he moves throughout his journey he realizes he has to embrace the pain because the pain is what shaped and molded him. So perhaps the pain and scars are a badge of honor? A means with which to advance and heal and identify his newness in instead of despite the pain.

The iconic revelation is:

"Without this pain... I wouldn't feel at all."
Life of Pain was inspired by the reality that suffering is an unavoidable part of the human experience.

The song acknowledges hardship without surrendering to hopelessness.

Pain becomes both burden and catalyst.

The song explores how adversity shapes character, priorities, and perspective.

Rather than glorifying suffering, it examines how resilience often develops through enduring difficult circumstances.

rebirth

Waiting behind the shadow
Lies the answer I seek
Ashes of my confidence
Still whispering me
Waiting behind the shadow
The mirror calls my name
All I built around myself
Was vanity and flame

My plans fade away now
My life slips below
The crown that I worshipped
Was hollow gold

Arrogance consumed me
Silken pillows where I lay
An embroidered I wrapped round me
While I praised myself each day
Golden rod of false dominion
Raised above the ones below
Torrents flowed in blind abundance
Feeding roots I'd never know
I chased stars on wings of chances
Mocked the humble sixpence road
Loved being feared and called respected
Never saw the crushing load

Till the final grain fell through me
Hourglass emptied to the bone
Every ladder built from ego
Became a fall I faced alone

And I fall
From towers made of sand and smoke
I fall
Beneath the weight of vows I broke
All I trusted turned to rust
All I worshipped fed the dust
And I fall
Toward rebirth

Pride had caught then ripped my lifeline
Shredded every backup chute
Free-falling through swollen vices
Spinning fast toward ill repute

Searching wildly for a savior
Clawing through the violent sky
Seeing earth rise ever closer
Certain now that I would die

Now stripped bare I cling to nothing
Hungry shadows spread below
Who to call when all is broken
Where to turn with nowhere to go

Lord I ask you help me now
I surrender fear and pride
If You save this wasted life
I will walk here by your side

Then out from the throat of darkness
Came a hand I did not see
Pulled me from the grip of ruin
Took the death inside of me

Now I rise
No longer chained to hollow things
I rise
Held high beneath unbroken wings

All the pain became the door
To a life unlike before
Now I rise
Into rebirth

Thankful now for night and sorrow
Pain that tore illusion wide
New perspective fills the journey
Mercy walking by my side

Rebirth is a story of metamorphosis. It is a story about overcoming past bad decisions and renewing ones self.

A story about transformation in the face of adversity.
Rebirth serves as one of the album's defining themes.

The song was inspired by the idea that endings often become the foundation for new beginnings.

Rebirth explores transformation through adversity.

Old identities, beliefs, and assumptions may need to die before growth becomes possible.

The song suggests that renewal is not the absence of struggle but the result of moving through it.

The Dragon is written from the perspective of Oxygen. It describes how as an element it has remained in existence for billions of years.  It also describes how that same element used to create, build, and sustain human life, is the same element that during times of anger and frustration can seemingly ignite a fire inside.


The song then describes how the singer feels like a Dragon Slayer trying to gain control over his emotional demons and struggles.

the soulless cry

They laughed
While she was drowning
They laughed
And called it care

Cold fluorescent judgment hums
Above a trembling weathered face
Hands once built for holding children
Now curl inward seeking grace
Eyes that carried too much thunder
Storms no stranger could decode
Every fracture had a birthplace
Every burden had a road
The soulless cry for help
Moved unheard through sterile air
Voices trained in practiced duty
Failed to notice pain was there

Who names madness
Who names sane
Who profits from another's pain
When empathy is anesthetized
The spirit suffocates restrained

The soulless cry for help
Rose through walls of polished stone
Mocked by those who wore compassion
Yet left her there alone
The soulless cry for help
Beneath the ridicule remained
A spark no darkness could extinguish
Though beaten, bruised and chained

The justified dagger enters clean
Self-worth bleeding slow and warm
Drying
Hardening
Numb infection
Gangrene fed by social scorn
The noose of false forgiveness tightens
Limbs convulse then slowly cease
Darkness pours like morphine mercy
Offering counterfeit release
Shrill sounds of laughter echo sharply
Hallways ringing thin and shrined
While one last whispered sorry rises
From a soul they left behind

You saw symptoms
I saw sorrow
You saw chaos
I saw scars
You saw danger
I saw history
You saw distance
I saw stars
How many saints hide inside collapse
How many truths wear broken skin
How many times has love been buried
Under labels stapled in

Then a line was cast through shattered waters
Hands reached in without disgust
No sermon given
No performance played
Just presence
Just trust
She saw sunrise in the sunset
Gold where endings used to be
A new perception split the concrete
Roots pushed upward violently

The soulless seek no longer nameless
No longer buried in the blame
Reborn through witness
Held in mercy
Remembering her name
The soulless seek and rise unbroken
Through every lie the cruel have told
For even ashes guard an ember
And embers still hold gold

They mocked the shell
but missed the soul
They laughed
while life returned
And she rose
Whole
This painful song is written from the perspective of a woman who was bullied, ridiculed, and told she was evil and "soulless."

Her entire life she fought to overcome but sat in silence crying for help most days.

The Soulless Cry explores alienation, disconnection, and the emotional cost of losing touch with one's humanity.

The song captures a feeling of profound isolation.


The cry represents a desperate attempt to reconnect.

The song examines what happens when individuals become disconnected from purpose, identity, empathy, or meaning.

Yet beneath the darkness lies a deeper question:

Can something that feels lost be found again?

The possibility of restoration remains present even in despair.

Truth is written from the perspective of someone searching for a spiritual truth. Searching for what is real, where the soul lies, and examining his own physical creation as an alive being.
Truth is a contemplative story about realilty, questioning existence, what is real, what is consciousness, and where is the soul.

There are moments in life when words become something more than words.

Most of us have experienced being on the receiving end of someone's anger, frustration, or emotional dysregulation. During those moments, the body often reacts before the mind has a chance to process what is happening. The heart races. Breathing changes. Muscles tighten. Thoughts fragment. Time itself can seem to slow as every word lands with increasing weight.

"The Funnel-Word Spider" was written to explore that internal experience.

Rather than describing an argument from either person's perspective, the song places the listener inside the mind of the person absorbing it. The funnel-web spider becomes a metaphor for words that penetrate deeply, injecting venom that spreads through thought, emotion, and even physical sensation. Every heartbeat, every whispered voice, every changing time signature mirrors the growing feeling of being trapped within an invisible web.

The lyrics intentionally blend biology, cardiology, neurology, mathematics, and psychology. References to the jugular, ventricles, hexatoxins, and neural pathways aren't meant to describe literal injury. They describe the way emotional pain can feel startlingly physical, as though every sentence delivered in anger leaves another invisible wound.

The recurring heartbeat symbolizes the body's instinctive response to perceived danger. As the song progresses, that heartbeat shifts from life to survival, eventually becoming the only thing left after the emotional storm has passed.

This song is not about blame or hatred. Every person experiences moments of emotional dysregulation, and every relationship encounters conflict. Instead, "The Funnel-Word Spider" attempts to give language to an experience many people recognize but struggle to describe: the feeling of being psychologically entangled while remaining physically untouched.

Sometimes the deepest wounds leave no visible scar.

Sometimes they sound like words.

At its core, "The Funnel-Word Spider" is an exploration of psychological physiology.

The song asks a simple question:

"What does emotional injury feel like inside the body?"

Rather than answering through direct storytelling, the lyrics translate emotion into biology.

The spider represents more than an aggressor. It symbolizes any experience in which repeated words, accusations, or emotional intensity begin to bypass reason and trigger survival itself. Like venom entering the bloodstream, the words spread through every system. Thought becomes fragmented. Time slows. Breathing changes. The heartbeat becomes impossible to ignore.

This biological framework appears throughout the song:

* The heartbeat represents the autonomic nervous system shifting into survival mode.
* The left ventricle symbolizes emotional depletion and the feeling of becoming "hollow."
* The jugular, venom, and hexatoxins represent the invisible way painful words can seem to circulate throughout the entire body.
* The cerebellum and neurological imagery reflect how overwhelming emotional experiences can interrupt normal thought and perception.
* The web itself represents cognitive entanglement. The more one struggles against distorted conversations, accusations, or emotional escalation, the more trapped one can feel.

The changing time signatures serve a narrative purpose rather than a technical one. Stable rhythms continually give way to asymmetrical meters, mirroring how emotional dysregulation disrupts a person's internal sense of stability. The listener is never allowed to become completely comfortable because the experience itself is not comfortable.

Even the production choices reinforce the concept. The acoustic opening represents vulnerability before conflict begins. The heartbeat acts as a biological metronome throughout the piece. Whispered voices function like intrusive thoughts or lingering memories that continue long after the argument has ended. Silence becomes as important as sound, capturing those suspended moments when the mind struggles to process what has just occurred.

The final realization—that the experience itself can become almost addictive—does not celebrate suffering. It reflects a difficult psychological truth. Human beings sometimes become conditioned to cycles of conflict, anticipating them even in moments of calm. The closing whispers suggest that while an argument eventually ends, its emotional echoes often remain.

"The Funnel-Word Spider" is ultimately an attempt to translate an invisible human experience into sound. It is less about a person than about perception. Less about conflict than about consequence. Less about anger than about what anger feels like to the one standing silently on the receiving end.

The spider is never truly seen.

Only its web.
