"Saved by Zero" features a repetitive, jittery guitar riff and corresponding bass. It features a soothing yet haunting presentation with its ghostly vocals and dark atmosphere. Lyrically, "Saved by Zero" is a reference to the Buddhist mantra Śūnyatā. Fixx frontman Cy Curnin reflected on its meaning in a 2008 interview:
"It was about looking at your own life, not so much about amassing material things but about experiences that lend you to be blissful... The song was written from the point of view of the release you get when you have nothing left to lose. It’s sort of a meditation. It clears your head of all fears and panics and illusions and you get back to the basics, which is a Buddhist mantra, which I practiced back then, and which I still do. The idea of the song is how great it is to get back to zero."


Maybe someday
Saved by zero
I'll be more together
Stretched by fewer

Thoughts that leave me
Chasing after
My dreams disown me
Loaded with danger

So maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero

Holding onto
Words that teach me
I will conquer
Space around me

So maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero

Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero

Saved by zero
Saved by zero

So maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero

Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Who needs to win
Saved by zero

Saved by zero
Saved by zero
Saved by zero

Now I'm terrified. It must be the cut off horns. If there's a tail hiding behind that ass I'm really in trouble.

... making SpudBoys an endangered crop. And pity the SpudBoys who have to go through life with the StubHorns.

Death to SpudBoy poachers.
