'Zero Zero' by Gerard Way is an alternative track from the album 'Hesitant Alien', released in 2014. The lyrics shift between a yearning to “love that way”, and a nervous, info-driven urge to withdraw. There is also a repeated address that frames identity in terms of zero and inversion, turning personal self-labelling into a kind of accusatory arithmetic. The mood comes through as pressured and claustrophobic, with observations stacked like evidence, yet the speaker’s attempt at coherence seems to falter under the weight of the day.
"Zero Zero" is a single by Gerard Way, from the album Hesitant Alien, released 23rd September 2014. The track is 2:49 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Gerard Way.

The songs began as an abandoned album project, but My Chemical Romance released them as five paired singles rather than a new full-length.

My Chemical Romance’s surprise 2022 single showed they were recording together again without simply recreating their past. It did not confirm a new album.

Two surviving songs offer the clearest public route into the abandoned My Chemical Romance record, without turning its history into a promise of a new one.

Two covers, from two different corners of the My Chemical Romance archive: Pulp in the ‘Danger Days’ era, and a Carpenters recording from the ‘The Black Parade’ sessions.

Gerard Way’s 2016 DC revival turned Doom Patrol into the launchpad for Young Animal: a deliberately strange superhero comic that gives newcomers a way into one of DC’s most unruly teams.

Gerard Way’s dedication at Chase Field gave the long-shelved ‘Conventional Weapons’ song a clear personal context, while its first live performance showed what My Chemical Romance’s B-stage sets could still uncover.
