Therapist uses B.Y.O.B to discuss how many of us live in a state of blissful ignorance until we suddenly realize something isn't right, maybe it's politically, maybe it's in your personal life. And once you realize that something isn't right. You have the opportunity to courageously confront that thing to try to enact change.

The party in the desert is also a metaphor for the war itself (in this case the Iraq War circa ‘03). How its affects are undersold and also how warmongers and arms dealers rush to the party.

​@jip5889 I know what you mean, though, to be fair she does say that it's a political song. She adds that the meaning can be broader. She's analysing it from a psychology perspective. And, there's something in her analysis; the political point of the song is to shake us out of ignorance and make us confront .... Well, power. The personal is the political and vice-versa as they say 😉

Amazing how you said “use metal music to shift your mindset” because I grew up a classically trained violist, played in an orchestra and could play all the string instruments very well. At the same time I was listening to KISS, Motley Crue, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and so on. This was when I was around 9/10 years old and I had a crush on Stevie Nicks. A couple years later I discovered bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer and the various metal bands of the 80s. I remember that the darker the music the more I was willing to listen to and deal with things thus making me “happy”. Doesn’t work anymore but I still use music of all types/genres to alleviate my pains/ negative things in my life

On one of the cruises I went on they had a 3 man band on the ship. They played numerous cover songs with string instruments like the violin. It was surprisingly good I thought. My wife was just going to keep walking but I was thinking no I want to just chill and listen to them for a while. It’s interesting hearing cover songs played with completely different instruments.

Serj Tankian (the lead singer) was writing about the war in the Middle East and how the general American was fine to be lied to about it. Lies from the tablecloth, soldiers there to defend freedom, everything’s fine over there…..reality, we were there for oil and the war was more devastating for both sides than any wish to discuss. He than brings up the contention of the poor being meat shield with the wealthy having options to either stay in safe locations while serving or not serving at all.

While in most cases, I imagine you might be correct in your interpretation of the song and it's message. But in this case you are a little mistaken. This song was written to address a very specific situation. The invasion of Iraq in 2003. This is a specific call to wake up and realize that the Iraq war is founded on lies. The intended audience was those in the military and civilians to stand up and recognize that the whole invasion of Iraq was based on lies and that we all had a duty to try and stop it. As a veteran, this song really does speak to me and for me. I was and still am seriously pissed about the criminal waste of human lives that was the war in Iraq. Not only was it a war premised on a lie, but to help pay the bill for that war, the powers that be decided it was going to be a great idea to take $32 BILLION from the only government organization dedicated to taking care of disabled veterans. So to sum it up. They thought it would be a good idea to take money away from the care of disabled veterans to pay for a war that was guaranteed to make a lot more disabled veterans. Considering that the Veterans Administration was way underfunded to begin with, losing $32 billion in funding has caused chaos that is still felt today it the VA system. And as a side note. Those cuts to the VA budget to pay for the war in Iraq were permanent. Despite both Iraq and Afghanistan being over for years now, the VA budget keeps getting attacked and shrunk. There is a saying in the veteran community. The unofficial motto of the Veterans Administration is "Giving veterans a second chance to die for their country since 1930". In the military there are a few simple rules for keeping your sanity. Embrace the suck. Three simple words that can and will allow you to survive anything that does not kill you outright. BOHICA. Bend Over Here It Comes Again. What that says about our sanity to begin with, I will leave it up to you.

I haven't really listened to this song since enlisting a lifetime ago. I'm glad they spent their energy talking about what they chose to. I remember being annoyed by their political messaging when I was young and was still trying to believe I could stay a child and ignore the gravity of what was happening beyond myself. Having served, I got to see so many young people from so many walks offered the only real opportunity they had given their circumstances. I had to watch it eat them alive. I had to agree with and participate in the inhuman mindset of a warfighter. I had to think of how best to kill, how to prevent effective defense against the killing, I had to crave it. I had a series of breakdowns a few years back that put me out of service and I've been here picking up the pieces since. War is nature. We are nature. But we are also special in nature. Our minds have literally transformed the world. It's like some sort of fever dream to think of the marvels the human mind has created. Why hasn't it found a way to do without war. We've shed so much nature already. Is feeding the living into a blender to solve difference the really an acceptable solution? I recognize the reality all too sharply. Even if it can, it hasn't yet. If their is a better way, we seem spell bound by how effectively violence solves every problem. It is spellbinding. The cost, the weight, the nightmare of knowing that everyone knows the cost and feed us forward just as hastily, to some minor end that serves the good of few. Not to protect our home, but to destroy others. To shape a world of peace with oceans of blood and the promise of more to come. In my mind, America isn't Christian. They serve Yahweh. Not the one from the Bible. The ancient War God of Storms, who washed away settlements for offending him. That sounds about right to me. Whatever the goal, paying with lives should be too steep a cost.

There is no such thing as a nonpolitical person. Those who reject politics commit themselves to the prevailing ideology of the society they live in, which is very political, there is no such thing as nuetrality politically. This song is about the ignorance of the general population as the U.S. illegally invaded Iraq, murdering over a million civilians in the process in particular. Also the fact that its the poor who are in the ones who make up the grunt soldiers sent to fight and die in these wars that are started by the rich for their own profits (hence the reference to "hangers sitting dripped in oil," because the U.S. wanted to control Iraq's oil and the line "why don't presidents fight the war, why do they always send the poor"). I agree with you that you can extrapulate this into other situations of ignorance and enlightenment, but I don't think that we should ignore exactly what SOAD were trying to get at here.

Trying to force a psychological perspective on this takes away from and mitigates the intended message. It sucks when people can't just accept that there is an intended and correct meaning behind something and need to make it theirs by forcing their twisted version of it into a conversation about it. It's close to part of what this song is even about, distractions from the real situation, covering the truth with a convenient interpretation.

The dance in the desert is about Iraq, the people having a good time are the military industrial complex and haliburton

I've listened to thousands of reactions of songs on here. You're the one who seems to actually get what message a song is trying to portray. If you have the time, I'd be interested on your take of a song called Heroin, by The Velvet Underground. And how the song ties together both lyrically and musically. You're awesome. Thanks.
