Justin, the lead guitarist, came up with the first two lines ('I know my future's blown...') and the melody for the chorus. I built the rest of the lyrics from there. It was a song that was written mostly in the studio and pretty quickly at that.
Although it has a certain negativity to it ('I'm jaded...'), it's also got plenty of positivity to it as well. The lines about having a broken home (yet there still being a key to the door) refer to forgiving one's parents and keeping up good relationships with them even after they break up and divorce.
The part about the chromosome refers to male inability to function well without women in their life. Women have two XX sex chromosomes (which determine their sex) and men have XY sex chromosomes, suggesting that there's a bit of woman in every man, and without that men are nothing.
Jaded was the first name of the group, which all five members took a very long time to settle on. The first attempt at building a web presence for the band turned up another American group who were already called Jaded. So instead, we switched to the name that we gave to the first demo EP we recorded, 'The Zamora EP'. Bobby Zamora was a rising star for Brighton & Hove Albion and it seemed not only a good tribute to a local hero, but also a great name for a rock band. So The Zamora it became.
The song was only ever recorded as a rough demo, which can be downloaded here.

Jaded
I know my future's blown,
I just want to tell someone else about it.
Although I've a broken home,
I've still got a key to the door.
I know my future's blown,
I had to knock it down, just couldn't resist.
Without your chromosome,
I'm still learning to crawl.
I'm jaded.
I'm so jaded.
I know my future's grown,
I just want to find another way around it.
Although we're far from home,
We're already half way there.
You've seen my head explode,
But I didn't want to make a mess on your carpet.
You tried to soak it up,
Only using one hand.
I've made it.
I've just made it.
I know my future's blown,
I just want to tell someone else about it.
Although I've a broken home,
I've still got a key to the door.
