Subtract Detractors! Subvert Disaster! Songtext
von Bad Optics

Do you think about power
When you′re talking to your friends
Do you jealously guard it
As a means to an end
Do you hold it up?
Break it down?
Put it to the test?
Pull it out
Or keep it close to your chest?


Is it right
Deploy your last words
To burn it faster!
To feel wrong
Destroy the casters!
The idle bastards!
When you've burned
Avoid distractors
And sneering actors!
For so long?
Subtract detractors!
Subvert disaster!

Five five five five
It′s reclamation time
Is your god alive
In your mind?

Higher! Higher! Higher!
We're always climbing, but the
Ladder! Ladder! Ladder!
Never stops
If you flex your weight
On to someone you love
Then the people you hate
Will always sit above

Five five five five
It's reclamation time
Is your god alive
In your mind?


Five five five five
When does it come to us?
Step into night
It′s alright
