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 to snub convention,
greatness follows.
“I think we're ahead of the game,” says
guitarist/songwriter Daron Malakian. “I just feel like this
band will be more respected ten years from now when people
finally figure out what we’re re More...

------ About the song chop suey performed by System of a Down
of coarse it has to do with religion Serj is very spiritual and some of the lryics are ripped right out of the bible as a matter of fact what Jesus says on the cross...most of his songs are related to religion/spiritual. it doesn't have to be specifically about Jesus i think it is more about relating to that pain of being forgotten (forsaken) but the part that relates to religion is just part of the song what about the first part? the part about a girl putting on make up to hide the marks of her being beaten her hastily leaving the keys on the table...think about that part some more and you may find the meaning of the song. (could be a he but i assumed female =X)
and soadfan93, a true fan WOULD try to interpret it but a true fan would not argue about it, they said themselves that our lryics are open ended and open to interpretations to how YOU feel the song relates to you. stop arguing dweebs and take your own meaning, songs might mean something different to someone else, deal with it -.-

Its pointless to speculate on why the song was made or what the song is about cuz we didnt write it. we have no idea what they were thinking when they wrote this. regardless, we can all agree that this song is irrefutably fuckin' awesome.

------ About the song Prison Song performed by System of a Down
I believe they're referring to the way drugs became more prevalent in low class and working class neighborhoods during the of the 70's, following the Civil Rights Movement, particularly in the black community. You don't hear many bands saying that shit. Bravo SOAD.
The war on drugs is bullshit. If they really gave a fuck they'd declare a war on poverty.

------ About the song Cigaro performed by System of a Down
There are antichristian songs. Epica for example have such songs. Several death or doom metal bands make antichristian musik but SOAD musik is noway sth like it. What's more the musik you are listening to has nothing to do with your religion or the way you have to behave, in my opinion...

------ About the song I-E-A-I-A-I-O performed by System of a Down
Whatever the song is about, it's deep that's for sure!These guys are "Absolutely Amazing"!, Music,Lyrics,Delivery, "Everything". I think it's amazing all the different ideas people come up with, to say what the song is about, or what they think the song is about. What people think songs mean goes way beyond what any song was ever about.AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK IT'S ALL ABOUT! LOL!

@RyanEffinRiot
"has anybody ever thought that they are just writing random shit down? that they aren't really that into politics? for real, sometimes insanity can be confused with genius. and sometimes being retarded can be confused with cool."
I studied music fulltime, when you're playing a guitar for up to 14 hours a day, you get good at guitar, not politics, economics, psychology or philosphy - you don't somehow infuse information. You learn about those other things at university and over years of work in related jobs. Musicians have ideas, but the ideas are limited by the confines of their limited knowledge, ie only impressive to the musician, and young people who have yet to study much. Musicians are entertainers - similarly, give Obama a guitar and see if he starts to shred - fat chance. Lyrics often inflate the most mundane idea or activity. System is great entertainment, but if you're looking for genius, you'd be closer in the direction of Chick Corea Elektric Band.

------ About the song Lost In Hollywood performed by System of a Down
Great song ! I think they show Hollywood as a bad place, wchich is changing and destroying young people, with dreams of making a career. They come there and they're abused, used, and they become rotten and with no morality.

------ About the song Toxicity performed by System of a Down
I'd never been really big on SOAD until i started getting a ride home from my brothers best friend in high school. he listened to SOAD more often than not.
they do have really great shit out and the only problem i have with that is that people still sit and talk like they're the best thing thats ever happened to this world.
has anybody ever thought that they are just writing random shit down? that they aren't really that into politics? for real, sometimes insanity can be confused with genius. and sometimes being retarded can be confused with cool.

A self-righteous suicide - aka martyrdom - is found in every religion, no bible reference here. They've intermingled this concept with a little anger, a little melodrama, and of course religious allusions...
Yep... Teen angst. I like it.
fighting for...? | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song B.Y.O.B performed by System of a Down
I think that the song is saying that wars should not be fought needlessly, and that recently war has become just a political thing. Going to war should never, ever be a light decision based on the political side of matters; lives should never be sacrificed unless there is no option. I agree that most of the ads are geared towards the poor, and while this may seem unethical at first glance, and on some levels it is, consider that being in the army during peace time is a good way to support yourself and your family. Also, no matter what the ads, it is always YOUR OWN CHOICE. There are no more press gangs; propaganda is everywhere and people should be aware of it. I think that some presidents understand the cost of war better than others and that some are more suited than others. That said, bashing the president is funny until it turns to hate. He represents our country for the next 4 years. Let's hope we survive.

F**k all the imperialistic tyrants (whether it be Ottoman Empire or say: Soviet Union) oppressing smaller nations! There are some peoples that can get this message better than others.Simple and brief and yet strangely... elevating.

------ About the song Needles performed by System of a Down
I really like this song because the beat is awesome and the vocals are too. But I thought the lyrics would be a bit more...profound, so I'm kinda disappointed. I liked this song better when I didn't know what they were saying.

I heard that daron was trying to take over as A lead singer which angered serj shavo and john, which lead to the hiatus. And I think tentative is about the bombing of pearl harbor. Anyway Im completely with you. I want system to come back real badly. SOAD forever!!!!

Some of you people are idiots.
System of a Down has amazing lyrics, and, even though some are weird, they are very serious about their music.
It doesn't matter what religion you are, but I can't judge you, considering I'm atheist.
Just stop being idiotic, people. I'd like to see you write a song.

------ About the song chop suey performed by System of a Down
Self Rightous suicide is when you give your life to save others. Not really wanting to get into a theological debate - but I have to agree this song is about religion. I also disagree about the lyrics not meaning anything - The absolutely do. That's why I love these guys.
