2003 CDD came in contact with NoiTekk and signed a contract for the second album NEMESIS. Daniel Myer (Haujobb) was enlisted for the mixing and the mastering.
Musically and thematically NEMESIS deals consequently with what is implicated in the name C-Drone-Defect. The examination of members of modern society; want to vs. have to; the reflecting and the consuming; ambivalent behaviour of philistine bigots vs. analytic ego-concentration."

Kerosene
C-Drone-Defect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We need ever more, so much more and still more
Velocity is rising, we have to keep up the pace
We crave, we hunger, we envy; we keep moving on
Nothing can stop us, nothing can soothe us
We are the gluttonous ones
We will never be contempt
We will never feel complete
Let the hunger never stop
We're running out of time
There's no turning back
When the final bell will chime
We hear our breaking neck
The lyrics to C-Drone-Defect's song Kerosene depict the insatiable nature of human greed and the never-ending need for more. The use of the metaphor "greed burning like kerosene" highlights the destructive nature of this hunger for more. The song speaks to the fact that despite having amassed wealth, influence, or power, there is always that nagging feeling of needing more, a bottomless pit of desire. The repetition of "we need ever more, so much more and still more" highlights this point.
The line "velocity is rising, we have to keep up the pace" speaks to the frantic nature of this pursuit of more. The never-ending rat race to accumulate more material possessions, more status, more power, more wealth. The imagery of "nothing can stop us, nothing can soothe us" highlights the unstoppable nature of this desire, even in the face of negative consequences. The line "we are the gluttonous ones" paints a picture of people who consume and consume and never feel satisfied.
The final lines of the song convey a sense of urgency and inevitability. "We're running out of time, there's no turning back, when the final bell will chime, we hear our breaking neck". This could be interpreted as a warning of the impending environmental or societal collapse that could result from such insatiable greed.
