CHOP SUEY! Decoded: A Crucifixion Conspiracy 

Never thought I’d see Britpop fanatic James Hargreaves talk about System of A Down, what a weird world we live in

Fascinating interpretation. Tbh I'd never had the faintest idea what the lyrics meant, but I think you hit the nail on the head. I also really like that you're covering heavier bands. I like Oasis, but I've always liked heavy music too, which I've had to put up with a lot of stick for over the years. I'd love to see more heavy music delved into.

Great video, i never would’ve interpreted it this way, but it’s uncanny how well it all links together, I think you’ve cracked it here! I’d love to see some more content around bands outside of the britpop/uk indie sphere in the future🫡

Awesome

It's about UK Garage and R&B sensation Craig Davids's failure to break America. He's singing from the perspective of Davids. Summat like that.

“when angels deserve to die” i thought was lucifer who should be punished instead of jesus,.. but its not as thought out as your theories, you are brilliant james.

I have to say this aspect that the story of the crucifixion is symbolic story of the sacred secretion where this crist seed is "born" in the brain and then decends the spine only to be risen again and when that thing reaches the pineal gland that's called crucifixion. The Forbidden fruit is symbolic of wasted sexual energy couse that destroys the crist within. Cross is symbolic of the body. Three days are the time perioid in every month when the crist seed is born. Jesus being perfect is a symbol of that you need to practice meditation and be in Good Vibrations to protect the tree of life that's the nervous system of the body so that the crist oil will rise back up the spine. crucifixion has another meaning that is to multiple thousand fold. Bible talks about things like oil and the lamp. Lamb of god. Oil is the crist oil and lamp is the pineal gland. Light of the world. Check out Kelly-Marie Kerr channel on youtube for really detailed info on this topic. She goes through many stories of the bible how they relate to inner workings of the body and other stuff like Adam and Eve being the Atom and Electron ect. It's very deep

Thank you James for this video! Aside Oasis SOAD Is One of my favorite bands. Would love ti see a video about Rage Against The Machine!

makes sense when a lot of soad songs are about conspiracy theories and questioning the government, which is something i've kinda only just realised. the end of this video where you linked the verse lyrics to the chorus ones blew my mind. you've made me enjoy this song even more

Great to see James diving deep in other genres and directions. Would LOVE to see some Nirvana, Sabbath and Hendrix coverage from James. Or more Punk features. x

Hey I love your vids and how you discuss music. As a person who was once an atheist and is now Christian I was very surprised by your interpretation of this song. As a youngster growing up in the 00s, I always thought it was about a non believer begging to God for answers. But that’s just me. Keep up the good work, but remember God will always look out for you. I use to think it was hogwash but Christianity is good and so our Christians. Not perfect, but good.

I just realized i had a mondegreen as i thought the line as a teenager was " Father Tierhands, i commend my spirit" 😅 Also you forgot at the start he says "rolling suicide" on the album version.

James, if you ever fancy a completely difficult task, try to work out what My Bloody Valentine’s “Loveless” means, track by track. Unfortunately there is no official or unquestioned lyric set, anywhere.

S.O.A.D. are another one of my all time favourite bands. Toxicity being my favourite song from them and they are one of the best political bands out there. Was a complete surprise to see a video on a metal band from you. lol

I swear I didn’t know Armenians are Christians. I feel rather ignorant at this moment.

Context of 911 and Armenian angst.. suicide bombers etc

Your brain !!!😮😵‍💫😹 💥❤️‍🔥🔥 😎

Another good one James, keep smiling n posting. God..........full of botox in my humble opinion, no interest in religion, but, now, I have System Of A Down on my radar. Nice One!

I've always assumed the song is about a self-righteous suicide bomber. 'Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?' - because you know you aren't coming home.

Just stumbled across this video by accident, great explanation for this classic song that has been interpreted in many different ways.

Can you also dissect SOAD'S toxicity because it also has an in dephth type lyrics in them, if you dont mind kindly asking PS: this breakdown also reminded of the matrix relaoded's scene where neo meets the architect.

I love your song interpretations, keep doin these please 😂

50 cents many men is a ref to Jesus sitution .

i think ses whot it means

Belting content mate 👌

Now do Toxicity

Jaymz 10:9 - I am the table.

Nobody: James Hargreaves: What is Chop Suey! by System of Down actually about?
