Title: Man, this brings a new insight on things
Post by: Fatboy_Rob on January 19, 2008, 02:28:37 pm
Well, this whole time, i was with the war, like "Yea! kick their fucking ass!" - i still am, but ive been listening to Serj Tankian's solo album, and he sings about all political things, like war & government (listen to System of a down, to see more of what im talking about), and it just hit me like.... damn, its a war.... a fucking war...

its depressing to know people die everyday there, but were there to protect the people from the taliban & terrorists that attack their own country, but thats a different story...
There is a video from Serj that blew me away when i watched it, im sure you guys will get the meaning as soon as you see it...

Tell me what you felt when you watched it...

Your empty walls...
Your empty walls...
Pretentious attention
Dismissive aprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls

Those empty walls
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be
Left behind those empty walls
Don't
You see
From behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls

I loved you, yes
Though they be
For you killed my family

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Told you
To see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be, left behind those empty walls
Told you
To see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucked up walls
From behind those God damn walls
Those walls...
Those walls...

for people who dont understand.....

SOAD always had a strong message in their songs, most people didnt get it...

i with cDa there lyrics always had a extremely strong message, and its not always "Fuck the Goverment".
there lyrics are usualy always very political informing the people of the world

Like this Video is about why we "really" went to war and how the goverment basically lied to us about it

all there stuff is really deep if you jsut listen to the lyrics

System of a down is a band, not saints, their songs aren't real because their songs.  To try to stop war is impossible because everytime war is done and everyone thinks there is peace some fuckhead ruins the "peace" and BAM!!! War all over again.  So, mankind cannot learn its lesson until the world gets fucked up and by then it will be too late.

With the Unthinking Majority videos, the flags always remind me of the Turkish: Kurdish war, in wich my stepdad is currently fighting, SOAD videos tend to make you think about things, not everyone gets the same message, but that doesnt mean they are always wrong.

True.
Maybe we need a mutual enemy, like aliens. That way, earth nation maybe would join to fight alien.

To understand the war you must live it, or listen stories from people who lived it.. or google things such "kosovo massacre" or "white phosphorus falluja", thats the real war.
My grandfather was a soldier in the 40's...his stories are old (more then 60 years ago) but the war is always the same thing.
