System Of A Down - Hypnotize (Official HD Video) 

An oldster here, my son would play System of the Down while I was teaching him to drive. My son has since passed away and today is the first time I have listened to them since his passing. I just want to say thank you for the wonderful memories.❤

The variations in the guitar and speed differences make this band groundbreaking. Never been a band like System of a Down

"Propaganda leaves us blinded". That will always be one of my favorite lyrics from a song.

I think this song deserve some lyrics, so here it is. Why don't you ask the kids at Tienanmen Square Was fashion the reason why they were there? They disguise it, hypnotize it Television made you buy it I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my... She's scared that I will take her away from there Dreams that her country left with no one there Mezmerized the simple minded Propaganda leaves us blinded I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my... Girl

Serj :😃 Daron:🤪 Shavo:😎 John: 😐

I'm really starting to appreciate this band even more, this song is such a stunner. Metal musicians are so talented

I can remember the first time I heard System of a Down on 98 rock , I was in shock of what I heard. My ears have never heard anything like them before. I wanted to hear more of them . When I saw the first video on MTV , I was completely blown away by this awesome band . I bought there cd’s and loved their music ever since. At 51 years old, omg I still enjoy their music to this day .

This song is just so artistic. Even among SoaD standards, Darion and Serj harmonize so absurdly well for this entire song and both stand out as such amazing vocalists in different ways. It's almost a crime for them both to be in the same group, but it's one I'm glad to be able to listen to.

System truly has a sound of their own man. Heavy, and thick, yet melodic and bright at the same time. Def one of my favorite bands

It's kinda magical the way Serj and Daron's voices meld together. I feel the same way about Jerry and Layne's harmonies. Great stuff

Im not Armenian but i can hear the Armenian melodies and drums and it's so well mixed i can't think of any other band that does this. They're so unique

Anybody in April 2024?

I was still a teenager when this song came out. Now I'm 31, times fly so fast.

I was 16 when this song came out. Now I'm 7

The opening 2 lines of this song are some of the best for being incredibly specific and also open to interpretation, I love it so much.

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian] Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square? Was fashion the reason why they were there? They disguise it, hypnotize it Television made you buy it [Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian] I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my [Verse 2: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian] She's scared that I will take her away from there Dreams and her country left with no one there Mesmerized the simple-minded Propaganda leaves us blinded [Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian] I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian] I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl

System of a Down is one of those bands that gets even better when you get older. At first you like the music than you understand the lyrics and it gets even better.

These two vocals go together like how Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda went together. When a band has two masterpiece singers they produce gold at the highest level

These voices are magnificent together. Such a fantastic song, it feels like it's much shorter than it is.

Anybody in??? There's always going to be someone listening to System of a Down,I just wish they would actually listen to the words! it would be a completely different world, they warned you about all the stuff happening Right now....

The combination of their vocals is seriously one of the best sounds in music

0:56 When someone tells me something but i can't understand what he's saying.

Best line of the song "propaganda leaves us blinded" more relevant today than ever

After almost 20 years. The intro of this song hits differently. Still the best intro of all soad songs and keeps carrying me away in the moods every single time. Every time!

The vocals are amazing!

Power to the people always ✊

Many years later and this song still gives me chills. Such power

i havent heard this song in years and it just randomly popped up one day in my head

1:51 Chick flashes the band. You're welcome.

Serj’s long hair was bomb af.

I could listen to this song on repeat all day. Thank the world we have this type of music 😌 especially system of a down.

this song makes my soul fly!!! I'm headbanging with tears in my eyes and smiling like a fool

Anyone on a System of a down marathon

Me listening to the lyrics as a kid: wow this song is so catchy! As an adult: oh....

I like this band. Appreciates their Armenian heritage, and puts some influence of Armenian folk music on their music. That's just precious.

The older I get the more I understand this great band.

Love the Chord Progression, Instrumental, and harmony. So basically the whole damn song.

This will probably always be my favorite SOAD song. The composition is just so beautiful to me, especially with the trade-off between Serj's and Daron's vocal lines.

Not long ago I got really into SOAD. It really changed my life... Forever. What a masterpiece this song is. It js so magical

I love that painting done by Shavo, it's so wonderful when you see something so original from a member of the band in the official video, also made in real time , so cool

System of the down becomes more real as time goes on

DAAAAAAAHHHHHMMMMMM!!! Darron Malkian is an amazing guitarist. And Serj is an amazing vocalist. And the bassist is an amazing bassist. And the drummer is an amazing drummer. Add them together and what do you get? AN AMAZING BAND!!!

Even as a kid I knew this band was essentially the beatles of metal. Creative and it never gets old.

Only band that still gives me chills 10 years later

the 2 voices just fit together perfectly.

Im sitting on my chair and waiting for a New soad Album Still 2019

I always get goosebumps near the end of this song. So good.

On the surface, the line "I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl" appears to be a simple, mundane statement describing an everyday situation in which someone is waiting for their partner in the car. However, by delving deeper into its meaning within the context of the song "Hypnotize," we can find broader and symbolic interpretations. 1. Contrast between the personal and the political: This line creates a contrast between the individual's everyday, personal life and the broader themes of manipulation and propaganda discussed elsewhere in the song. It shows how people can live their lives without being aware of the impact that misinformation and manipulation have on society at large. Furthermore, it suggests that while we are busy with our everyday concerns, we might be ignoring significant and problematic events happening around us. 2. Complacency and inaction: By stating that he is simply "sitting in the car," the narrator may be expressing a sense of passivity or complacency in the face of the larger issues discussed in the song. This line may serve as a critique of the inaction and lack of social awareness that often prevails in society. The average person may be more concerned with their personal life and less interested in addressing political and social issues. 3. The banality of everyday life: The line can also highlight the banality of everyday life in contrast to the gravity of the political and social themes discussed in the song. Daily routine and personal concerns can serve as a distraction from the more serious and profound problems facing society. This distraction could be one of the reasons people are vulnerable to manipulation and misinformation. 4. The metaphor of waiting: The idea of "waiting" for one's partner can also be interpreted as a metaphor for waiting for change or a solution to the problems present in society. The narrator could be expressing a sense of helplessness, as if waiting for someone else to take the initiative and address the political and social issues mentioned in the song. In conclusion, although the line "I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl" seems simple at first glance, when analyzed within the context of the song "Hypnotize," it takes on a deeper and symbolic meaning. This line can be interpreted as a commentary on complacency, inaction, the banality of everyday life, and the waiting for change in society.

Daron has an amazing voice omg Oo

Thumbnail pretty much sums up how I feel after listening to this song

Seriously one of the most beautiful songs ever written...

Getting goosebumps on my goosebumps from this. I am goose with bumps. Thank lord for SOAD!

Damn. I’m not even into this type music but you have to appreciate the range, composition and how melodic this is.

Darons voice is so underrated. So completely talented in so many ways.

This is most probably my favourite SOAD song. Getting goosebumps every time I hear it. Such a powerful and beautiful song.

2024 e eu aqui!!! Sou apaixonada 🤘🏻🔥😍✨

I could sing this song each time I listen to it, which is like 9 times a day. Anyone here does the same?

Listening to more SOAD after their new song

Serj really looks awesome in this video. He looks like he’s so full of light and compassion, like a God from another planet 🌎

I remember the first time I listened to this album. I was about 13, and it blew my fucking mind. Nothing on this planet sounds quite like this.

soo excited for their new album!!!

1:37 that flying guy haha

SYSTEM OF A DOWN FOREVER!! ♾️🤘🏻

So much talent, beauty, and intelligence in one band.

I'm in this video! I'm about a pixel tall, lol. Downtown Grand Rapids, MI at the Van Andel Arena. TMV opened for SOAD at this show. In the middle of the set, they played this song about 3 or 4 times to get more video coverage etc... GREAT SHOW, both bands were at the top of their game around that point and the crowds & even the rent-a-cops were joining along screaming/chanting: 😛 "F--- YOU PIG!!" (forgot which song that is)

my favorite is daron, I wish I could meet system of a down, there my favorite band😞

The contrast between the 2 lead vocalists is like herb and garlic.... Love it!!!!

I remember when this album came out another hit, bought it on cd still listening online these days 🖤

Serj has such a great voice, and is a great lyricist. Underrated as hell IMO.

Can't believe this song come out 11 years AGO!

Oh man their voices blend so perfect, got to hear more like this!

My favourite song of SoaD. Always have hear it twice in a row at least. It's way too short though a masterpiece

0:56 Serj nodding to let us know this is going to get stuck in our heads.

2:25, so beautiful, this part is pure art.

The duet of two incredible voices, the powerful sound, the changes of rhythm, the levantine suggestions... ladies and gentleman, SOAD

Thank you David hammons. As a young pri he heard me singing this and asked me did I know about what I was singing? Needless to say. I learned that day. Thank you🙏🏾

A lil SYSTEM to get the day going

I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for new SOAD album

This song and video literally used to hypnotise me as a kid. I'd sit and just listen.

We need SOAD more than ever

2:24 That part is just amazing i love the drums

Probably the most unique and talented rock band of the last generation.

Nothing quite hits like the contrasting but strangely complimenting tones of Daron and Serj’s voices. That’s what captivates me most about SOAD, with the lyrics as a close second.

bass player is ALWAYS in his own world and i love it.

There will never be better vocal harmonies than those of Serj and Daron.

SOAD is one of the best alt-rock band for me. I love them for every song of theirs, which are completely different and awesome at the same time.

Patty, I'm sorry for your loss. I know the pain. God bless you

This song is about the human experience. You could be chilling in your car as the whole world falls to shit.

0:56 my expression when I listen to this song...hypnotizing

A goat called Durk made me listen to this. It is a nice goat. He comes from a land of far. He likes apples and climb trees. He really knows how to have a good time.

This is a true work of art. My favourite SoaD song for sure.

This song really makes you hypnotized. Also I have to appreciate that second dude's vocals... Bro remembered me of Han Jisung(stays will know)Now I'm a new fan of this band

the type of song that will never lose relevance...... coz our silly world will never change .

The evolution of this band over time truly was amazing.

I'm listening to this song very carefully so i won't get sick of it so fast

that fact that Serj did not wanted to do the song is mind blowing so glad he did else we would have missed out on this masterpiece!! 😱

America is in flames. This song is still relevant..

I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl...but i don't have a car. No girl either.

Every time I try ouyt a new guitar I do this riff. Just brilliant!

Serj has a beautiful voice
