Built To Spill - Carry The Zero Lyrics

new stuff? giddy up!

im surprised that you'd want to carry that on

I also really love Built to Spill. Whoa my hands just crapped out. It's maybe cold or scary in this BIZZNATCH. I like the song where they talk about the cat on the roof waiting for something. Whatever. I also like when Modest Mouse talks about not knowing shit - - how they've been exploited for saying 'I don't know.' Cause I guess once you get whatevered they whatever. Shaking head. Do you think if you're an actual zero that you'd get carried? That you'd WANT to get carried? I don't think you would. You would probably just want to sleep and be left alone. LOL. Oh Gosh my hands just got electro shocked. Maybe that's why they lied about JFK and John Lennon getting shot? We've been conditioned and raised to believe in cynicism. Seems unfair. Just don't force an ACTUAL SOVEREIGN BEING to be homeless. We all know it's crap. So don't fuck with the queen. Cause the queen don't like it. Do you think if we blasted the sun with an atomic laser gun we'd be able to FUCK OVER anyone who thinks they can capture a queen? Not sure. But I do hope so. Oh well. Resource scarcity. It aint real man and we all know it. Alrighty. Story line. Blah blah blah. Love you Built to Spill.

I DO HOPE SO

Built to spill is the best Rock band

what makes YOU feel like this ?

Wtf is wrong with everything

If your liking this one and want to hear more, listen to the song big dipper by them too!

RIP Maleah Davis.

My parents got me into this , I’m only 13, but this stuff is great I’m surprised it’s not more popular among my friends .

Algun latino por aqui?? Me acuerdo cuando patibaba como aficionado, the reason cairo foster mi parte favorita de toda la vida, me hace sentir como si estuviera en la preparatoria... Ke tiempos!

Girl: I love BTS!
Me, trying to impress her: I also love Built To Spill

A fat chick assed my scum my fiddle and my thumbszzzzzz

And now it's coming back! Hasn't it come too far?

4:05 musical fission all over my body

One of my top fav song intros. Best song on the album. So many memories flood in from the late 90’s and graduating high school Y2K. Sitting on the steps near my house, smoking cigs, heart break and wanting to be forever with the girl I loved. It was time to grapple with growing up. I’d always felt like an outcast, even amongst my friends who were outcasts. Always on the outskirts seeking love over confirming to the blandness of modern jobs etc. Never have wanted to conform with society.

I had my bones removed with this playing in the background. I ate some rat eggs afterward:(

237 people have no taste in music.

Skating nostalgia <3

My homie played this for me in 2004. These guys, pavement, modest mouse and 764 hero are the shit. Oh and the shins, Sonic Youth

What a tune!

Clicked at this by accident listening to Sonic Youth.....now I'm a fan

How could anyone thumbs-down this?

naci en la generacion equivocada unas ganas de escuchar esto tirado en la alfombra gris de mi departamento mientras se descarga la actualizacion de windows 98

CONCUERDO COMPAÑERX!!!!

God I fucking love this song. It’s one of my favorites. Just very well composed and a really sick, unique progression

Where has this music been all my life?

Yes i love bts

日本にも来てほしい🇯🇵

Joshua Forney I miss you so much little bro. I love you dood and hope you're at peace somewhere.

munstermama13 ❤️

I am going to end a movie with this song one day.

Got some fond memories of working at my old bar, and customers playing this song.

I will forever love this.

Such a good song

I was at Escape from NY pizza in SF Haight and the 2 20 year old skater chicks were rocking out this album . So cute so awesome ~ 420

crying my eyes out bc i just found this song due to discoveryplaylist. haven't heard this since transworld.

Such a joyously painful song. Built To Spill are masters of making sadness and melancholy into beautiful uplifting songs.

The first few seconds of this song sounds like it could be an anime opening

i really, really hate the fact that this song is not on Spotify, at least where i live.

Same here! I’m in 🇨🇦 and it’s not on the app although I haven’t tried their “premium” option.

The album is there but no songs available like wtf

Happy and sad all in one. Bittersweet is the word.

So underrated.

i miss the old days,...suddenly everyone is so busy and boring at the same time..

I'm not knocking your want
To carry that home
Took it with you
When you moved and got it broke
Found the pieces
We counted them all alone
Didn't add up
Forgot to carry a zero
I can't be your
Apologist very long
I'm surprised that
You'd want to carry that on
Count your blemishes
You can't
They're all gone
I can't see your response
Putting them back on
Like they're waiting for your guard to fall
So they can see it all and you're so
Occupied with what other persons are
Occupied with
And vice versa
And you've become
What you thought was dumb
A fraction of the sum
Yeah, you've become
Yeah, you have become
A fraction of the sum
The middle and the front
And now it's coming back
Hasn't it come too far?
I was trying to help but I guess
I pushed too hard
Now we can't even touch it
Afraid it'll fall apart
Songwriters: Doug Martsch

holy shit these guys were slept on ... amazing tune

Truly an epic band.

The lyrics are so relevant on a bery personal level

Built to Spill, Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr., et. al. certainly take me back to the 90's. A bit too lo-fi for my aging ears now. Glad BTS is still touring and keeping the genre alive.

Why isn’t this album on Spotify 😩

Joe Taylor I keep checking periodically to see if this and PFNO have been added. Always disappointed

why so many down thumbs

Depressing theme aside, which i connected to strongly...after many years, still one my fav songs ever. There are so many simultaneous rhythms occurring that u just gotta let urself go with it

Reminds me of an old Modest Mouse Riff from Interstate 8....Great Song & Great Fu^king Band!
That is All.

slick tune

Way underrated
I want to hear this kind of music on the radio not fucking Kesha

Def one of the finest indie songs ever written

idk why but this song is making me feel so low at this moment.

Im a truck driver. I drive local now, but when i was an over the road trucker i always jammed the shit out of built to spill when I drove thru Idaho. Sounds cheesy but it always made the ride more fun.

@rainbow connection OH gotcha. Cool, thanks for replying!

made my day, thank you
have a nice ride, mate

God bless

Brilliant!

Works in the Glens of Scotland too

this is a ok band but not as good as the band known as joy division

Goddamn I wish I could describe the feelings this song make me feel.

Well somebody has been listening to Siamese Dream album by Smashing Pumpkins quite a lot before they made this song hahaha

This needs more “Likes”
Way underrated

Get stoned and watch the planes land at the airport. Its a Purple Kush/Keep It Like a Secret kinda Sunday afternoon. Doing nothing at all has never felt so damn important.

comrade hermit no you f****** loser piece of s*** go get a job and stay off the dope commie bastard

@Kylo Ren Yyyeeeeeaaaahhhh....nnnoooooooo.....

mar 17, 2019 super drunk. this must be the place. carrying that weight, Perkins... drink@! hit up cindy lauper and cure. early ... 80's somewhere.... I'll catch you there. flowers mouse fast youth up front my behind

Fell in love with this song in the background once upon a time.

Reunion tour!

Linda música!!

Alex g went here

dafuq that outro though

Masterpiece here. When it hits, it hits so good in all the right places

Every part of this song is magical

Still to this day this song makes me move.

Fantastic song .Probably their best.

Love how the vocals/lyrics and guitar leads are so distinct- 2 different ways to escape...

Cairo foster 😁

John Hill brought me here

Maybe the perfect rock song

broke through on dmt to this song and haven't felt the same about it since. It's a song I will remember the rest of my life.

Will always have this song on repeat.

This song is sooo freaking goooood that i no longer have o's

Cairo Foster - The Reason 1999

507!!!!

Wait Built to Spill.

Hmm. Intro, shortass verse, straight into sweet guitar solos, huh? I ain't complaining

Sometimes when I am alone, I think of all the regrets in my life... I just wanted to kill myself and disappear... Never to exist. But then I listen to this song... Maybe I am not the only one suffering... Maybe I could stay alive a little more.

You're not the only one suffering. And actually even on your very worst day just know someone's is a thousand times worse. Stick around for the whole ride until something else takes you out bud.

I just moved back to Boise after over a decade leave, and Brett Netson helped to design the space that I work in, Diablo & Sons Saloon. The other day I was listening to this song on the way to work. We have a record player, & my job that night was to flip records and greet guests. He walked up to me & handed me a stack of records, & I fought the urge to fangirl hard. Now, I walk into work & bump into him a lot & he always says hi to me. I think he secretly knows.

128 rapped by the ears

it hurts that they don't have this on spotify

https://open.spotify.com/track/3HMOMdRPywfouYx5B4PvaH?si=6PjLxKqEThCjST7Mu8p-cg

Must be blocked in Europe because it is greyed out for me and won't play.

Thanks anyway

@BLAOWWW!! man, a song blocked in Europe and not America. sucks bc that normally doesn't happen.

Blocked in Canada too :(

yeah, more like that

Welcome to a hidden treasure that was overlooked 🤓🤙🖕
