about

Focusing on the dehumanization taking place throughout many levels of society, where decision-making is increasingly becoming the consideration of strictly rational-, calculable options, 'Corrupted Numbers' quite effectively uses an aggressive, metal-orientated instrumentation to portray its critical message. Pointing towards modern society's tendency to 'poison what's human' and 'replace it with digits', it strongly identifies the seemingly ever-growing gap between people and politics. More specifically, the far-reaching effects of human vices such as greed are critically assessed here, lamenting the devastating grip it seems to have on much of society's inner workings. Such a subject is skillfully approached by making use of various words and expressions which may be said to possess a double meaning; 'just a figure in a cell / their ultimate business clientèle'. Calling for 'actions' instead of 'auctions', the listener is urged to do the math – and make up their own mind in the process.

lyrics

Watch watch the stats
Dodge dodge the impasse
Corrupted numbers decides your fate
Take it back before it's too late

They poison what's human replace it by digits
Mutate algorithms with no limits
Contamination turned into a usual habit
Toxication, overspread in the whole planet
At any level any scale
In every small fraction of a detail
A passport barcode defines identities
Divides the world into 3 entities
21st is the century
You can't tell which politician is your enemy
They only see decimals in you
They don't speak the same language you do
Banks hold your future as a prisoner
Decide your whole fate without your signature
Yeah you just a figure in a cell
Their ultimate business clientele
What you think when you choose to ignore?
Indifferent until hell knocks on your door
Until you have the wrong medical coverage
Left days average worth your account leverage
Uuh same aphorism
Misleading education infects kid’s mannerism
Expand the curse to nature
Ecosystems failure
It's all about filthy profit margins
Slavery, factory dungeons
Time to be cautious, to be conscious, greed is monstrous
Lack of options, we are for auction, we need some actions
Deadly combinations, fatal toxins
Do the math, seriously
Before we'll perish, miserably

(Chorus 4X)

Watch watch the stats, do the math
Dodge dodge the impasse, in fact
Corrupted numbers decides your fate
Take it back before it's too late
