Daron has a beautiful voice too

[@TheFleahost]

That discordant harmony that closes the song is so haunting and ethereal.

[@lacyinmon1004]

This song is about how people can lose their identities and become just like everyone else. Some lyric analysis: "Life is a waterfall,we're one in the river, one again after the fall." - We all start off the same and we all end up the same. "Swimming through the void, we hear the words,we lose ourselves, but we find it all." - As we go through life we are told lessons, but we ignore them. We forget who we really are in the mix of seeking the synthetic lifestyle, and that's the price to lose who we really are. "'Cause we are the ones that wanna play, always want to go, but you never want to stay." - We always want to be part of the scene. We strive for what we want and when we get it, it still does not satisfy. "And we are the ones that want to choose, always wanna play, but you never wanna lose." - We want and want. We do whatever we can but if trouble is ever near we do whatever we can to maintain innocence. "When you lose small mind you free your life." - When we stop to see the full picture is when we really have control of our lives. "Life is a waterfall, we drink from the river then we turn around and put up our walls." - We take and take and in the end we give nothing. This shows how greedy, oblivious and inconsiderate people can be

Bit like todays age of social engineering and manipulation

[@peterwale6821]

I've always thought (not known) that this song was about the Armenian war. Aerials in the sky = Inbound Missiles. "Always want to go but you never want to stay" = Media mocking Refugees. "Always want to play, but never want to lose" = General's playing war games.

[@erinp.420]

@@thesquareroot22 😂👏 😂👏😂👏😂 Thank you for that.

[@JB-qv9kl]

This is how deep SOAD is: this song is about ancient understanding of human existence. That life is a temporary separation from the infinite One - Life is a waterfall We’re one in the river And one again after the fall We come from the infinite One, in the waterfall (life) we experience separation (like droplets falling) and when we “die” we reunite with the One. We do not cease to exist, we are just back to the One. The wisdom is to know this and let go of attachment to this particular life. We are the ones that want to choose Always want to play but never want to lose We want to experience life and separation (it’s literally a game) but when we are in our life without the wisdom of knowing this isn’t all there is to it, we become attached to this particular life. This creates suffering and keeps us in a lower understanding of existence. When we lose small mind we free our life When we let go of attachment we are free to have direct experience of the gift of life. Lose small mind, eternal prize This is the concept of “graduating” to heaven, when we learn to live without attachment within a lifetime. EDIT: should add experiencing "Heaven on Earth" is knowing that we are One and experiencing Oneness in a direct way (not just as a mental construct) while living a life

[@hrfdude4234]

comparing any male metal singer to Serj isn't a fair game! Serj Always wins! and then you have Daron's riffs! System of a down is out of this world!

[@metalguru85]

The guitarist Daron harmonises in most of the songs after this album. It's almost a 50/50 split on vocal duties. Can't wait for you to hear those harmonies. Daron will definitely be a contender for the guitarist tournament as well.

[@jacoblawrence3096]

That’s not a bass. It’s a guitar. They tune down an entire step and then drop the bass string to a C. Way lower than a standard tuning

[@dvaderwasframed]

This is such a cool video, bummer you didn't check it out

[@oregonwoodelf]

Slipknot is great in their own way and all, but shiiiiiitttt..... this song is just beyond anything they've ever done 🙌 And vocally, Serj is on a different level than Cory. Even though they both came out of the "nu metal" era, SOAD feels like they're in their own category.

[@Justin-nq6kf]

Bro imagine just know hearing such an iconic song. I guess I was spoiled as a teen knowing this when it first came out.

[@anz_rama]

Finally another SOAD :D

[@amandalamb5724]

You guys listening to SOAD are the reactions I look forward to the most.

[@CruxalYT]

same here, I want them to react to so many more SOAD songs!!

[@stephanieb.8270]

This whole album is amazing. If I remember correctly it came out around 9/11, and it was so fitting for the desperation and anger that we were all feeling.

[@mookiestewart3776]

If anything this album was telling us not to attack two nations that didn’t attack us and we proceeded to kill over ONE MILLION PEOPLE in both nations for no fucking reason…….. and yes I do mean one million ……we did that shit for nothing more then making rich men richer

I love these guys!! I want to hangout so bad lol!!

[@tonygonzalez8254]

System of a Down is amazing but don’t forget about RUSH THURSDAYS!!!

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

Aerials lyrics feature a lot of Zen Buddhist teachings and philosophy, like the concept "We are one in the river and one again after the fall", which is about how our souls come from a giant river, as we are born into the world, we become individuals like individual drops of water as it falls down the water fall. Then we fall to the bottom and become one with the river again after we die. It's also featured in the lyric "when you lose small mind you free your life", as small mind is a concept in buddhist teachings that is pretty self explanatory. Our minds are small before being expanded, we are narrowly focused and narrowly existing. I was reading about Zen Buddhism at the time when this album came out, so I always connected deeper with this song because of that.

[@kristaspecht]

Awesome! Thanx!:)

[@mendyrckz76]

🦋 I agree with TiffanMae both💁‍♀️ of Today's artists are great! But then again last weeks was the same. 🤷‍♀️ I'll leave final votes on those picky individuals. Either way it's all good with me. 😋 I'm just enjoying the Ride in this Musical Journey 😏 You guys are Taking everyone on.

[@thedominator87]

now you gotta do the amon amarth cover. its a whole new experience when you hear this song growled

[@peterwale6821]

I've always thought (not known) that this song was about the Armenian war. Aerials in the sky = Inbound Missiles. "Always want to go but you never want to stay" = Media mocking Refugees. "We are the ones that want to choose" = Polticians deciding to go to war. "Always want to play, but never want to lose" = General's playing war games etc. Don't know if that's right or wrong but it's what I've always took away from it after learning SOAD's background.

[@PersephonesDilemma]

I think it's referring to the sun and how it sees all. "When you lose small mind you free your life" is to broaden your sights just like how the sun sees all. The sun sees how divided we are and cruel we ate to one another. " life is a waterfall, we drink from the river then we turn around and put up our walls." You were my man's like pots and pans UNTIL you got your cup of success then you switched up. You turned around and divided us with boundaries. Or how the US (and others) draw imaginary lines. Just my interpretation

[@dylangrace3212]

Serj Tankian can play many instruments like piano, guitar, harmonica, violin, Theremin, drums, sampler, synthesizer, and dulcimer

[@mikemacintyre6885]

Oh and you should listen to System and WuTang’s collaboration

Corey is a very strong vocalist, but this isn't really close, IMO. Serj for the win

[@DanielGarcia-lr7ro]

Also you should check out Daron's band Scars on Broadway. It sounds more much more like System than Serj's solo stuff and you actually get to hear Daron's voice on full display. Since hearing Scars I personally believe that Daron has a better voice than Serj.

If you guys like how they implemented different instruments outside of the standard guitars and bass, I would really recommend looking at Ne Obliviscaris. I was absolutely floored when I listened to them. So much so that I'd consider them my favorite band. I'd say a good introductory song for them would be anything from their first album

[@arc6017]

Poor Corey, you had to choose this perfect gem of a song, one of their masterpieces, where Serj is at his best to go against him. It´s a KO for Serj. Not that it was needed. Don´t get me wrong, Corey is very good, I love his music and his growls and screams are top notch, but Serj is just at another level singing wise: He can do the screams and the growsl but then his cleans, his harmonies, his falseto, his high notes, are just things Corey can´t do. It´s not even a competition. Good reaction!

[@veRGe02]

It's great y'all appreciate Serj, but Daron is just as equally a primary creator, writer, and brain behind SOAD music, even if not the main voice. Daron is a musical genius just as much as Serj's voice is something special. Also John is a top notch drummer, and his drum riffs make the tracks pop. The first couple albums were more Daron + Serj writing, while the last couple albums were more Daron writing everything.

Even I hate myself for saying it, but... I feel like Corey is a better 'frontman', while Serj is a better 'singer'...

[@RunninWithMos]

I'm going to be jumped on by maggots for saying this, but I don't think Corey is an amazing live singer. He sounds good in a studio, but when he performs live with slipknot, he destroys his voice with wrong growling technique and after that his clean voice sounds like he didn't have anything to drink for like a week. I remember getting 9.0 live. I couln't belive how bad he sounded there. Before someone say "you're just a hater" - Slipknot was my introducion to metal music back in 2004. I love their 1st couple of albums, but I'm not a die hard maggot, so I can think for myself. Tbh Corey would sound so much better if he did only clean vocals. This way growls wouln't affect his singing voice. Idk if it's not too late for it, since even when he does Stone Sour stuff, his voice gets very harsh. I can't say a bad thing about Serj voice tho. Not only he sounds great live, but his voice is also very unique. I may not agree on his political views, but we're here to choose a better voice and he definitely wins here. Atleast in my personal opinion. Have a good day everyone! \m/ TL:DR Serj wins for me

A couple of things to note is that Serj wasn't classically trained. Idk why so many people say that when Serj has stated many times that he had no formal training when they started the band. Also Daron Malakian is the member who writes most of the music. They said that he wrote probably 95% of the lyrics for the band.
