Chop Suey - System of a Down (lyrics) 

No RU-vid, I don't wanna kill myself, I just wanna listen to this god-tier song

"Honey where my keys?" "Oh I left them on the table." "WHY?"

If you're still here in 2024, you're legendary

You know you’re getting old when they add a suicide prevention hotline link on this song. Shit gets better. So much better you’ll question how much you really deserve it. Your partner will feel the same way. Just stay the f alive until then because it’s coming and it’ll be worth it

2:18 when you get lost at walmart

Been a singer for 38 years,i have to say this guy is difficult to cover

My favorite part of this song will forever be "Father into your hands I commend my spirit." The way it's sung just scratches that itch in my brain.

Not me getting a suicide prevention hotline as a recommendation under this 💀💀💀

My mom is not into metal.... but somehow she likes this song A LOT

I remember my sister blasting this on my father's speakers when I was 4 years old. Genuine nostalgia right here.

The entirety of this song is like a mood swing

Born in 2000 and having a divorced parents. Being with my dad he always listened to rock and sad rock but this song always stuck with me and I love it haha. I’m not much of a screaming fan but I’ve grown to appreciate it in this song but when he’s singing all soft it really is just so beautiful and one of my favorite songs to sing and hear by how it sounds

i didn't ever think i could feel like a badass just cleaning my room hearing this song

This song hits differently when your down, you listen to it cause it gives you that insane pump but leaves you wanting to aggressively scream

The last part of this song is literally, hands down, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DUET ever created. Period.

I love the father part just because it feels like it holds so much to it I've always viewed it as someone over the years begging to god to stop their pain but slowly getting more and more upset and angry that God won't answer their prayers and help them

2:49 - 3:23 the way they harmonised together is the best I’ve ever heard, sends chills down me every time I hear it

Don't usually listen to music this heavy, but there's something really special about this song that i can't put my finger on.

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. I listen to it to put myself to sleep. My baby loves it when he needs to sleep as well. To wake up I listen to silent night.

This song is so nostalgic. I remember being young and my parents blaring this in the car.

All heavy guitars and drumming in the song ... Piano guy on the back: ok i will just stay right here.

This brings you right back to the golden days of RU-vid

Dios, esto es una joya, igual que Linkin Park, Nirvana, Skillet, etc, era y será un temazo

You know times are changing when this song has the suicide hotline number connected to it and you have to confirm the desire to listen to it for that reason

This song was originally titled "Self Righteous Suicide" but was later changed to avoid controversy. Unlike Jeffery Epistien, who didn't kill himself. Don't forget during these times.

2:17 when you need something from Amazon

Song has the suicide hotline on it lol

Send chills down my spine. It's so harmonious and there's something beautiful about it

I just realized “grab a brush” wasn’t‘ “grand-ma”. Whole time I was thinking he said “grand-ma should put on a little makeup” ha ha. Phew good thing I never sang this out loud.

I used to think it was "WHYD U LEAVE YOUR KIDS UPON THE TABLE"😂

There's so much strong emotions in this one. It hurts but also feels good. I don't how else to describe it

Still one of the greatest songs of all time. Very few songs can change the tempo yet keep the flow and rhythm as often and well as this one.

Why you leave the ketchup on the table? I wanted to

I'm gonna be the one parent that picks their kid up from school playing this full blast Fuck yeah.

Y'all ever feel nostalgic for something but don't even know why? This song is that for me as I don't even remember how I got around to listening to this song but I'm glad to have found it. I always tear up at the end.

The words to this song is soooo deep. It hits my soul when I hear it. I just LOVE this song!!!!

I sound like an idiot whenever I try to sing this

this song literally makes me tear up and my throat act up. Either It's really good, or I'm allergic to this great music

no youtube i wasnt gonna eff myself off i was gonna listen to the greatness of this song

I love how the song started off with the very chill guitar 🎸 then out of nowhere drop that hardcore heavy metal🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥😩

Somehow, this song is oddly soothing to me. Usually metal music makes people headbang and get all excited, but it actually calms me down. I don't even think it's the words, it's the music itself. It calms me

I left my keys inside the house on the dining room table and this song was the first thing I thought of😂

1:39 to 2:12 is probably my favorite part because of the high emotions put into the song.

me and my dad always listened to these songs when i was young. he isn’t gone yet but i know when he is these will be beautiful memories for me.

tbh i miss these lyric videos with the black background, that same ol' font and these tight ass songs. honestly where did it all go? time sure flies huh.

2:19 When my sister realizes i took ice cream from the freezer with no permission

Song is still a absolute banger all these years later

Quando le mattine sono veramente pesanti e il tuo pensiero si concentra nel capire in che anno ti trovi.. embeh, niente di meglio che svegliare la mente con questo fantastico gruppo.. Nostalgia degli anni in cui avevi appena ascoltato per la prima volta chop suey 🖤

omg i havent heard this song in like 2 years i love it

I made 2:19 to 2:46 my dad's ringtone in my phone

RU-vid: DONT KILL YOURSELF!! Talk to someone today! Me: I just want to listen to a masterpiece

Que música linda eu tô adorando esta canção

My Alarm Clock be like.. Wake Up!!!

Middle School anthem, right here.

It's remarkable what an impact this song has had on all of our psyche's for the last 2 decades

Bumped this in my teens and was rockin… 13 years later… and it just hits different.. love y’all

"There are fates worse than death!"

1:22 when your walking to the bathroom from your bed and you stub ur toe on the wall

Am I the only one not depressed or is the hotline due to the name

It is unfortunate to consider that many of our beloved individuals who passed away prematurely may have likely heard this while they were departing. May they find eternal peace.

Trying to scream whisper the fast parts while eating a cookie at 1 am like:

When this song said “jsjdjejfieksid” I felt that

My favourite part of this video is clicking through four "are you sure" warnings from RU-vid to watch it.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard 🖤🤘👩‍🎤

WHY YOU LEAVE THE KETCHUP ON THE TABLE?!?!

I do not fuckin understand that radio stations were against this song along with System of a Down due to it's meaningful political lyrics, but they are ok with Blurred Lines when it promotes rape culture and offensive to women, how is that more appropriate than System?

I love and am boggled at the fact people have "4 year old memories of there dad" to this song....I was 22 in 2000. Rock on youth of the world!

I got a suicide hotline add when trying to play this song....

This song is making me aggressively eat my twizlers

1:00 Someone said this part sounded like Markiplier and I can’t unhear it now

youtube just gave me an ad for a psychiatric hospital under this video. with the words talk to someone and a call button

Anyone else get a suicide prevention number from this?

I've always thought he said "grandma should put a little makeup" lol

Serj's morning routine: *_WAKE UP!_*

RU-vid I don't want to call suicide prevention I want the tunes.

My RU-vid thinks I'm feeling depressive because of the music, but I just want to listen to it and enjoy a beautiful sound.

I want this played at my funeral

I always listen to this song when I'm mad or when I'm sad or when I'm happy it's kind of a win-win scenario

Having this as my alarm gives me the adrenaline to get out of bed and not feel tired.

The intro to this song is so beautiful

2:52 I don't know what it is but I love the way he says "My"

"I, cry, when angels deserve to DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" *takes headphones off and cries*

I play this on repeat ♥️ the guitar the drums the song as a whole 🎵

No matter how old this song is, it will always be one of my favs 🤘

Me: I’m hungry Dad: hi hungry, I’m Dad Me: 2:32 Just kidding. I don’t have a dad :(

Father why have you forsaken me? In your eyes forsaken me, in your thoughts forsaken me, in your heart forsaken me. That is completely heartbreaking.

Love how it's trying to get me to call the crisis line. lol

Before the video played I got a notification saying this video refers to self-harm or suicide. Even though the word “suicide” is only shown.

the reason they called this song chop suey is cause they were gonna call the song "suicide" but the record label wouldn't let them so they cut suicide in half "Chop Suey"

I'm not a a heavy metal fan but this song is amazing!

The fact RU-vid makes this song so protected Is exactly amazing

It has been 14 years... still a great song!

1:15 when your game doesn't save

After listening to this song literally thousands of times since its inception in 2001, I’ve finally come up with a cohesive interpretation of the lyrics: It’s basically about how not taking responsibility for your actions can lead to suicidal ideations. The perspective of the lyrics transition between the suicidal individual and System of a Down. The verses are about the mistakes that are made by the individual, where each mistake seems minor but truly has much deeper significance. System of a Down is harshly criticizing them by saying “you wanted to”. As in by not taking responsibility for the their life, they are enabling their own demise. “I don’t think you trust in my self righteous suicide” is the individual saying that their suicide is warranted because the life is unfair or the world is against them when really they are the problem. “I cry when angels deserve to die” This is SOAD stating that because of this self righteous mentality, maybe the individual does deserve to die. Sad, but again the harsh reality. The bridge is the individual kills themself “father into your hands I command my spirits”. And blames the same father (god) for their demise (“why have you forsaken me”) when it is really their fault as reiterated in the absolutely gorgeous outro which really reflects the sadness of the situation. Now if I could only figure out jet pilot...

This song is just too good....i always love to listen this song 🤘🔥🖤

i remember hanging out with my aunt in her room and she was playing music on her tv, she was playing this song and i loved it so much. i barely remembered the name today and its just as good as i remember

HOW IN THE FUCK DID I FORGET A SONG SO FULL OF EPICNESS....?

If you need to wake up blast this in your room you will definitely have your heart pumping 🤣

This group for me is the most impressive classic metal I could ever experience... The lyrics are twisted, the vocal is near impossible, metaphors are hard slap on the face...💫👌❤️‍🔥

The fact that the suicide prevention hotline is linked to this song is funny Then I tried to use it- Then I gave up-
