System of a Down Lyrics


Not long ago, accepted sonic belief held that rock music,
certainly hard rock music, had been stretched, manipulated
and tinkered with to its logical end. With no new forms
looming, the genre would slip into malaise and the kids
would look elsewhere for an outlet. Enter Los Angeles
quartet System of a Down, who, over seven years and two
albums have revived and revitalized heavy music with their
manic brand of post-everything hardcore. Millions of
records on, they charge into the new century as living
proof that for those brave enough More...

its about Jesus | Reviewer: CJ
    ------ About the song Suite-Pee performed by System of a Down

It just says would you die for Jesus like he died for you. In this case he's just say would die for your religion or beliefs. And I bet the Guy who said Fuk SOAD is a fuken redneck

    ------ About the song Soldier Side performed by System of a Down

It's sad how in today's music, there's always fuss about religion, war, sexuality, etc. This song IS about war. But here most of you guys are saying people who go to war are power hungry fools. This ties in religion, some religious beliefs are based on believing you could be true to your god by sacrificing yourself. But just one simple sacrifice leads to a world of hate. Yes, in my opinion religion shouldn't be an excuse for everything. But, if we didn't have religion, the world would lead to chaos. You could sit there and bicker about war, but nothing will change. Just accept this fucked up world as it is, and move on. Back to war: War is also wrong, but without someone giving up their lives to defend us, we wouldn't be who we are today. NOW BACK TO THE SONG: System of A Down; best band ever. Been a fan since birth, 15 years ago. Soldier Side is their best song and it's easy for war veterans to relate to.

Great song | Reviewer: hpesch
    ------ About the song Holy Mountains performed by System of a Down

Only those that remember their collective past are able to create works of art that touches the heart. I wish Turkey would finally allow its people to discuss this matter freely without fear of prosecution.

    ------ About the song B.Y.O.B performed by System of a Down

None of you fully understand anything. You just go on and believe whatever bullshit is shoved in your face like as most of America. We didn't just go into a war for the hell of it... Terrorism is why we went over there and since we have been there, we had decided to take out as many sand niggers (terrorist) as we can while we are there. Seriously, if we would have wanted their oil... We would have taken it already. Do some research and don't believe everything your told. Damn, this world is getting worst.

People are so crazy | Reviewer: Not an idiot
    ------ About the song Violent Pornography performed by System of a Down

The song is a criticism of the way we live our lives in this world. "Non-stop disco" having some relevance to their song BYOB on the same album, instead of spending their time thinking about the war, people are out dancing and having fun to wash it all away.



Meanwhile the TV is screaming at you constantly "everybody living now does ____, so buy our product" . Between commercials, all people watch is shows about sex and violence because it catches our mind on most primal instincts. Nabisco was really just a company name they chose because it rhymed with a type of dance. It's not pointed directly at nabisco, but the commercialization of everything in general.

    ------ About the song Darts performed by System of a Down

System = A set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular.

Down = Toward or in a lower place or position, esp. to or on the ground or another surface.

May I please remain in this space = I want to remain in this point in time

For darts screech by my desires = Missiles are flying closeby preventing me from obtaining my wanton desires.

Art thou not human man Not human man art thou = The enemy is from another world.

Life threatening lifestyles = Our progress as a species has become so advanced that it's beginning to threaten alien civilizations.

A hitman, a nun, lovers = The enemy will consist of killers, believers and companions.

Arise as did the gods Ninti, and Ishkur = They will come after our life at the sound of the loud thunder.

Clock men for they will die = If you clock them hard enough they might perish.

Fear not the gods that come from the sky = Death from above is predictable. Watch the ground.

Long not for the one who's lost their way = Our civilization lost it's way and the path to destruction was inevitable.

Do you love me? I don't know = Manipulation has become rampant, blurring reality and creating uncertainty.

Put together...

The system we (human race) have created has been on the downward spiral for some time. Although the system has become evil and unforgiving, it has also given us many pleasures and for this reason we want to remain in this space.

A different race notices our rapid progress and decides to launch a preemptive attack, believing that if they don't strike first they will be at a disadvantage is we ever decide to declare war on them. They launch millions of missiles.

A large thud will mark the start of the war and our enemies will consist of an assortment of characters. Our only way to survive will be to knuckle up, pull their sweaters over their over sized alien heads and swing for the fences.

The missiles are dangerous but the real threat comes from the ground. Even if we could have prevented this war, as a species we were already doomed. Our actions have already done significant damage. We have lost our sense of self. We lie, cheat and deceive. Do we do it out of love? After hearing so many lies we don't know.

    ------ About the song chop suey performed by System of a Down

att a deeper angle, It looks like a song of rejection of his Father,. in the song, self righteous suicide, self willed
Even not so, "Father, why hast thou forsaken me?" familiar? It's Jesus on the cross... that time, our sins put on Him caused His father not to face Him, but indeed.. it is according ti His plan that he must die to SAVE us. :)

    ------ About the song Revenga performed by System of a Down

Poisoning a drink
"Bleeding in a sink
Choking with a link
Killing with a stink
Just your mother's
HOE"

Maybe he was talking about abortion, there are many ways not to get pregnant or to abort a baby...

"My sweet revenge
Will be yours for the taking
It's in the making
baby"

The only way to complete "Revenge" is to making a baby... i think it's talking about an irresponsable mom...

Don't mind me, its an awesome song

    ------ About the song Soldier Side performed by System of a Down

OK just to let people know their are places where soldiers have no choice if they want to go to war or not...in many countries soldiers are CHILDREN!!!...so don't be saying its tha soldiers fault when you don't even know what they are going through..war does things to you that won't go away..you are never truly the same..war is just wrong anyway you look at it..and everyone is to blame..not just a specific group..and if you are so against it why don't you stand up and do something about it instead of
fighting here..if we all got together in peace we might make a difference and stop all this violence..just put aside your egos and actually think before you speak about anything.

Not religion | Reviewer: reason
    ------ About the song Soldier Side performed by System of a Down

Religion is not the cause of war. It is a mask to hide behind. Religion can do good things like charity, building hospitals in africa etc. War arises from man's desire to attain more or gain power. The worst atrocities were committed for man's purposes like Stalin, Hitler's Darwinian idea of a pure race and Eugenics, the French revolution led to an age of atheism where the reign of terror took place. Religion is a way to justify your atrocities but above all, it is mankind's desire to dominate that leads us to war.
