Bitter-sweet texts about anguish and deceit are composed by Debra to describe the dark sides of love. Early in her childhood, Debra began to experiment with instruments, and Diva Destruction is the result of her ideas combining agressive Darkwave/Gothic sounds with those straight rhythms.

Rewriting History
Diva Destruction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
read the last straw
Claiming all my credit
and work as yours
To steal my spot and lie
why you're gone
Come and peel me
off this ceiling
Rewriting history, always stealing me
With your preemtive
Rewriting history, always stealing me
With your preemtive,
but it will backfire
One day they'll all see the real you
And you'll sink to your fate
Give them and inch
and they'll take it all
Creating monters trying take overs
You'll fall hardest when
this truth breaks out
Some call it spin
control I call it all lies
The lyrics to Diva Destruction's song "Rewriting History" speak about a situation where the singer had their creative work and success stolen by someone who claimed it as their own. The first verse expresses the feeling of being pushed too far - "the last straw" - and the frustration of having someone take credit for everything the singer has worked for. The lyrics then encourage the listener to join the singer in anger towards the person who lied and "stole [their] spot". The singer sarcastically calls for the person to come back and "peel [them] off this ceiling" - meaning, undo the damage that they caused.
The chorus speaks to the theme of rewriting history, which is a metaphor for the person in question taking credit for something they did not do. The singer believes that this will eventually backfire on the individual in question - "one day they'll all see the real you / and you'll sink to your fate". The second verse speaks to the idea that if you give an inch, someone might take everything. The person in question is creating chaos and trying to take over what does not rightfully belong to them. The singer believes that this will lead to the downfall of the individual - "you'll fall hardest when this truth breaks out". The chorus is repeated here, with even more emphasis placed on the idea of rewriting history and controlling the narrative.
Overall, "Rewriting History" is a song about the frustration and betrayal that comes with having your success and credit taken from you. It speaks to the importance of standing up for oneself and not allowing someone else to control the story of your hard work and accomplishments.

I just saw it and
I have just seen something
read the last straw
which was the final thing I could tolerate
Claiming all my credit
Saying that all the efforts and accomplishments are yours
and work as yours
including the work that I have done
To steal my spot and lie
in order to dethrone me and deceive others
why you're gone
while you are away
Come and peel me
Please put an end to my agony
off this ceiling
that I have been stuck in
Rewriting history, always stealing me
You are manipulating the past and constantly taking credit for my achievements
With your preemtive
by doing this preemptively
but it will backfire
this will have negative consequences for you
One day they'll all see the real you
Eventually, everybody will know what kind of person you really are
And you'll sink to your fate
You will have a miserable ending
Give them an inch
if you give someone even a little bit of power
and they'll take it all
they will try to take all of it
Creating monters trying take overs
You are creating monsters who are trying to take over
You'll fall hardest when
When the truth comes to light
this truth breaks out
when the truth is revealed
Some call it spin
Some refer it as spin
control I call it all lies
But I just call it a web of lies
