The angels that disobey God, they deserve it.

[@howiedavis2316]

Guitarist Daron Malakian, who wrote it with lead singer Serj Tankian, explained: "The song is about how when people die, they will be regarded differently depending on the way they pass. Like, if I were to die from a drug overdose, everyone would say I deserved it because I abused drugs, hence the line 'Angels deserve to die.'"It occurred to me how we are judgmental towards people, even in death,” explains Daron. “If someone died in a car accident, you’d say, ‘Oh, poor thing.’ But if they died in a car accident while they were drunk, that would change your whole perception of how they died, and judging his or her death a in a different way. The speaker wakes, and the song begins. The verse takes on the structure of someone narrating a person’s (‘your’) morning routine-they wake up, put on their makeup, head to the table (for breakfast, etc). However, the overall tone of disjointedness and aggression of the verse signals to the listener that there is more to this routine than meets the eye. "Grab a brush and put a little makeup (A little bit) Hide the scars to fade away the (Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup)" A further complication to the “morning routine,” the singer equates putting on makeup with putting up fronts and armor every morning to hide mental scars and insecurities from other people. I hope this helps some

Helps some??? You broke down the complexities and nuances to the song that I never even considered, fucking Socrates lmao

“Angels deserve to die?” *confused headbanging*

[@ItsjustMerrick]

There is an explanation in the comments above. Perspective of how you died kinda thing

[@saravaneerde6164]

I think the whole phrase is: I... Cry... When angels deserve to die it is all part of the same thought/sentence/line. Howie’s post is on point imho.

[@nickp440]

[@MrT79shakeshake]

2:48 that Piano riff is one of the most underappreciated parts of this song. It's amazing.

[@opie9617]

I’ve listened to this song probably 1,000 times and have never noticed it until now. Beautiful!

[@quanjicollins4668]

I've just noticed the piano and I love it now that's all I hear.

[@nackjicholson1940]

Funny as fuck 😂

[@TheSavageGent]

I feel like he separated the “I cryyyy” and “when angels deserve to die” so it didn’t make sense for him in that moment lol

[@itsfreewillly5062]

One of my favorites by System of a Down is “Aerials” a little slower but greaaaaat tune 🙌🏻

[@JerseyTeal]

Best System song hands down

[@silviahannak3213]

System of a down deserves respect..vocal range is nuts...love them forever

[@aniquinstark4347]

Early 2000's nu-metal had a lot of hip hop influence. the genre gets a lot of shit for being weird but I can appreciate it for doing something different because metal was really getting stale in the late 90's. Nowadays metal and alternative rock is even more influenced by hip hop with bands like Polyphia.

[@Nicolos117]

It’s the best genre imo. Slipknot, limp bizkit, System of a Down, Deftones, 10 years, linkin park, Chevelle, korn, breaking Benjamin, finger eleven, cold and tons of other bands all have made nu metal songs bruh it ain’t weird it’s cool

[@SippingSober]

This is one of my fav songs to play when I’m feeling destructive 😂😂 love your reaction! Keep doing what you doing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Happy_Meal1384]

He’s saying that he cries when angels “deserve” to die. He doesn’t think angels deserve to die he’s referring to people that have died but we’re frowned upon in death

[@isaaclopez9099]

"Aerials" by System of a down is also a great one! Keep it up man!

[@sashas4068]

SOAD is probably one of the most underrated groups and more people need to know them

[@ИванНасоненко]

How TF is SOAD underrated? They're literally one of the mainstream metal bands still, despite the last release was in 2005 -_-

[@StephSinalco]

The Chop Suey video has 1.3 billion views on KZbin. I'm pretty sure they don't qualify for "underrated" :D

[@GavinBryce]

System of a down is in the top 15 most popular bands in music history how is that underrated 😂

[@smurxx8751]

Bro i fucking love ur videos, u just appreciate everything that is being played to u👍

[@marctucker4714]

This song was supposed to be called 'Suicide' but the record company weren't happy so they "Chopped" Suicide to Suey, hence Chop Suey.. Apparently.. 🤷‍♂

[@meganconnell-cox6425]

the vocal chemistry and blending of these guys is on another level

About what I expected from a first reaction of System of a Down haha… getting down with it but also what the f*** is going on😂 great reaction man keep it up(:

Dude I just discovered you today and I must say, I love your reactions. I see you going through journeys through song. Good stuff. Happy holidays and new year man.

[@jaycielle]

As a kid from Dorset who knew this song his whole adult life just like all my mates, it was honestly so great to watch another English guy experience this for the first time - it's a wild album but it's worth listening to with the fact in mind that this was the number 1 album in the US the WEEK after 9/11 (also produced by maybe the only producer to be a legend in hip hop, rock, AND metal, the one and only Rick Rubin)

[@CrAck-MoNey]

These guys sound this amazing live in concert. The music was perfect to how it sounds on the albums only more powerful. I was blown away!

[@radinastavreva4367]

I came here from TikTok to see you experience this whole masterpiece. Always have told that this song is one of those which are better than sex. Everytime I feel sad and at my lowest - I'm turning the volume on it as loud as I can. I highly recommend: Rammstein - Zeit, Adieu or Deutschland. Whatever you pick, I think you going to like it.

[@pc10]

A fun fact about this song. The story goes that they didn't know what lyrics to use for the verse in the song that goes "why have you forsaken me", so they got them randomly picked out of a random book and page they picked out of a book shelf. It's one of the best parts of the song and was completely chosen at random.

[@Sicklarry310]

I love his genuine confused reaction in the begining when the singing started

[@Jcbeatz_]

BRO IF YOU LOVED THIS YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO ARIALS BY SYSTEM OF A DOWN

[@jlambson82]

One of the best songs of all time right there

[@simonb8078]

i think the meaning of the song is that often people who die from drug abuse are seen as reckless and selfish by society when in reality people who deal with so much turmoil in their life where they see no other option dealing with it than reaching to drugs. so when people dont care about drug addicts dying because they were being 'reckless and selfish' i think thats what the line: "i cry when angels deserve to die" means

[@kimburleyascanbe]

Also Sugar Deer Dance Prison Song Spiders Forest Mr.Jack Needles Pretty much any song by them is amazing
