Man, this brings a new insight on things

[Fatboy_Rob]

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...

[Goodblue]

at the end I felt this :hit:

[Fatboy_Rob]

do you know what its about though? do you know what the video is portraying?

[Watti]

I think this is Stupid.. Why do we want little kids Thinking about War!! thats totally Rediculas!!... ittl set a whole new meaning to kids like.. Fucking i wanna go to war Cause we get to play in mud and kick down Walls and throw things

[cDa]

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...

[BlackBird]

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

1:15 DMer with SPAZ 

Back to topic:
Name a country that you think brings more war to the world.

[tiderman]

[PMP]

Norway.

Norway has an ARMY?  :conf:

[stiffler2100]

i have been listening to SOAD for about 4 years now and iv always known what they where on about, the song boom is also good if u watch the video.

[Comendante]

Good tune and good video.. using the innocense to picture something serious. But I've been listening to tunes with messages
for years thanks to Clawfinger.

[Boxy]

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.

[Watti]

rnig more War..

Pakastan... (I think)
Iran Iraq (The people who killed that ex-President)

[Icarus]

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.
