Day Zero
Both hit 140 BPM at the chorus. Only one take lets the verses breathe first.
The stories behind Day Zero
- The Two Takes of Day Zero, One Never Comes Down — Both hit 140 BPM at the chorus. Only one take lets the verses breathe first.
- Day Zero Is the Festival Anthem for the Day Before a Hospital Opens — Before a new wing sees its first patient, a whole team has already staged, tested, trained and tagged everything in it.
Lyrics
Staged it, tested it, trained it,
tagged it
5, 4,
3, 2, 1,
day,
scene,
roll!
Fresh wax, not a footprint in the hall
Spare battery, stack cables
Coiled on the wall 13 plus devices
Waiting by every bed
Every sensor in its bin
Every label read
Talk the night shift
Every brand new screen
This is the quietest
It'll ever be
Staged it, tested it, trained it, tagged it 5, 4,
3, 2, 1 Day 1 belongs to
the patient Day Zero belongs to us
Up to half the budget rolled in on the trucks
Opened every single box
We don't run on love
Warranty clocks Time to the day the doors swing wide
Spare parts on the shelf
For the first long night
Staged it, tested it, trained it
Tagged it, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1
Day 1 belongs to the patients
Day zero belongs to us
Batteries saved
Every pump, pump tested
Night shift trained
Every box checked
Five, four, three, two, one
ONE DAY ZERO!
Staged it, tested it, trained it, tagged it 5, 5, 4, 4,
3, 2, 1 Day 1 belongs to the
patient Stay zero
