Minus Lyrics

mouth of depleted
is nothing caught
the trap concealed in
a restless plot read fix equation no artificial sum
minus addition
is nothing

acting perception shaping thought undone
learned taught behavior
a brainwashed hum
sucking the savior suck the bottle fed gone
minus addition is nothing

street smard defeated
caught knife in back
childproof eviction trained falling through cracks
duel with conviction who fought won lost
minus addition is nothing

It seems to me that this song is about religion. "Sucking the savior" is an obvious reference to people who use religion as a crutch, and "Minus addition is nothing" seems to be making fun of contradictions in religious beliefs, comparing them to "minus addition", which would make no sense and get you nowhere.

Song Meaning

In addition to Potatoflesh's comments, "addition" might be a metaphor for Christianity, due to the visual similarities between the plus sign and the Crhristian cross. "Minus addition", literally (-+) or (-†), might be read as "negative religion." "Minus addition is nothing" might therefore mean "the religion of fear and hate is worthless."

Addition (haw haw) to the comments above I've got this more specific thought of what the final verse is saying: That no matter how hard you might believe in them, fear and hate have, in particular, no power to save you.
