Chop Suey - What do you think it means?

[CoderFirstClass]

Lyrics

My friend has an opinion, but I'm interested to see what the ATOT populace thinks. Talk amongst yourselves.

 

[bigrash]

chinese food?

 

[Platypus]

The lyrics are pretty self evident... just like all SOAD lyrics, there is more than meets the eye.

 

[b0mbrman]

I've never been too sure how to feel about System lyrics...

 

[CoderFirstClass]

Self-evident how, Corporate?

 

[Hoeboy]

it still amazes me how people trash pop music for their "sucky" lyrics when bands like system of a down and their songs, consisting of 1-2 lines repeated over and over. are so "cool"?

 

[Schlocemus]

I'm not sure what to think, might be kinda scary...

What is "self-righteous suicide"?

Edit: spelling

I agree with this to a point. I like Chop Suey for some reason, seeing as how I've always been a fan of rap and semi-pop. Rap just sucks sooo bad right now. Jay-Z can't put out a good song worth jack rite now and Ja Rule, don't even get me started on this jackass. Before, I saw rock/alternative/metal/etc as unenergetic, uninspired music. But now, half the songs on my playlist include the likes of Weezer, Staind, SOAD, Linkin Park, etc. While these are all mainstream bands which purists might hate, I still enjoy their songs. I could go on but I've got some more neffing to do.

POP UPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dirty pop

dirty pop!

 

[Pr0Hawk]

WTF, it installed gator! BAH! WHY WONT YOU DIE GATOR!

 

[Maetryx]

I think it is about a woman that is getting abused by her lover. But she won't leave the situation. The self-righteous suicide is the refusal to leave an abusive situation. She left her keys on the table because she's coming back. If she was really going to leave, she'd take the keys. She covers the problem up with makeup, and denial.

 

[StageLeft]

This is one of the worst songs I've ever had the displeasure to be subjected to. Worst yet the radio plays it over and over.

 

[jobberd]

im gonna have to agree with Maetryx here. the song rox btw, you should all get it

 

[Snuffaluffaguss]

how insight full everyone is tonight

 

[HombrePequeno]

I don't really like Chop Suey. The lyrics are too repetitive. A lot of their other songs are great though.

Maetryx is right aboot what it means though.

 

[ArmenK]

system of a down rules

 

[aphex]

that song rocks...

 

[Thanatopsis]

It could also be a cynical commentary on the crucifixion of Jesus.

 

[CoderFirstClass]

Pr0Hawk, do you have IE set to install stuff without asking first? *tsk* *tsk*

Thats a pretty good explanation if you ask me.

 

[flavio]

Good tune

 

[jonnyGURU]

Are the lyrics correct? This is the second time I've seent eh lyrics in print and they don't match. Are they on the album sleeve?

 

[Xomon]

The beginning of the song is cool.. Can't say the same for the rest of it.

 

[JonnyBlaze]

im normally a hip-hop head, but like MaxDSP said, most of this new ish coming out sucks. so lately i been catching myself listening to soad and a few other bands like that.

i like the song psycho too. thats a cool one.


later
