To understand System of a Down and their lead Serj Tankian is to understand how political they are. Serj especially is an Activist more than a Musician. They are very much all about Anti-War, Anti-Nationalism and Anti-Authoritarianism; Serj's four grandparents were survivors of the Armenian Genocide. With System of a Down it is always political.

@hughjoelcock7145 2 года назад

I doubt they’re anti authoritarian anymore. Kind of like the other super political band “Rage On Behalf Of The Machine”

@jiffypoo5029 2 года назад

@@hughjoelcock7145 Serj Tankian is a Full-Time activist. He has a solo song "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" talking about American Christian Nationalism. Serj is more politcal now, not less political, he is very much a far left anti-fascist.

@TwoTrakMind 2 года назад

I like Brad's insight about the last line. I grew up in a Christian home and when I read that lyric, I made the same connection. Rather than "sun," I thought "Son," as in Jesus. It's quite profound no matter how you look at it.

Before woke was hijacked into a buzzword, it's always been used as a metaphor for being a conscious free thinker.

@DarthPoyner 2 года назад

Now the term for that is being Awake. But the mainstream will dilute that word just like every other word with meaning.

Exactly, free thinker; but now it's totally the opposite, if you don't think like they want, they attack you.

@jasonhaynes2952 2 года назад

I think the word hasn't been hijacked, as much as being 'woke' has almost become a fad...it's evolved into something that borders on absurdity. Maybe a better way to explain it is not "woke" but "over woke".

@mightyreborn8071 2 года назад

Glad to see y'all (Lex) continuing to give System a chance. They certainly are unique, there's no mistaking them for anyone else. As one of the comments below said, I'd recommend Spiders or Question next, two of my favorites. I would also recommend some of Serj Tankian's solo stuff if you want to get a feel for him from a purely singing stand point, maybe try Empty Walls or Harakiri.

@JMulvy 2 года назад

This song holds dual meanings. It is both a commentary on the conditions of urban life in the US and compares it to parallels in the complicit events leading up to the Armenian Genocide. Where citizens became content with the status quo and allowed the genocide to take place. It usually goes hand-hand with Chopsuey which is more about the state of urban decay leading to regret and depression and ultimately suicide. The eating seeds part is a direct reference to the popularity of teens eating sunflower seeds in 2001 in the US as well as reports of when people were being kidnapped by death squads. There was one account of a group of men who got out of their truck and pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds to munch on as they watched with zero concern for the people being captured by the death squad "flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of our truck". That is why the majority of the song is so toned down and a bit depressing. It is like "the world has gone to shit and no one wants to do anything about it, so what else is there left to do but sit quietly and wait for my turn?"

Haha great reaction! To me the song is about the chaos of life between the quiet peace before birth and after death and how some people pointlessly try to control it. The last verse also comes across as how they decide to live their chaotic life - aiming to be bright and bring vibrance to others lives, which kind of explains the hype and energy they put into their songs.

He's such a visual performer. Also the whole gmo thing is mostly a buzzword. Most things aren't truly clean as "organic" and gmo= genetically modified organism, is actually a good thing. It doesn't do terrible stuff to the "organism" to the corn or what have you. It actually helps protect the corn, the crops. It acts as a deterrent from bugs that will eat up all the crops.
