The symbolism is insane in this video. It's crazy how such a harmless and playful scene can portray such a strong message. Serj is a genius. Always has been, always will be!

My best friend had been in a bad accident with his work truck n comatose for 3 weeks, he's awake and in rehab now. Not able to talk because of a traech, but we played this song for him and he calmed right down and mouthed the words! A break through! He even was so calmed by it he fell asleep. Music you love never gets forgotten. Thanks to Serj Tankian and System, and even Scars on Broadway, he mouthed whole song of they say TOO! Progress we've yet to see. And thanks to his love of this music and ours, he remembers it totally. 2 weeks ago we didn't think he'd wake up. And then this! Awesome! Thank you!

What a great song to describe the situation going on now. And with the children playing I see two things. American culture with the distillation of war since the time we were kids, like normalizing death over seas. Or like that these soldiers and people who are being killed were just once kids. It is also like kids could play like this here but in other parts of the world children don't have this play and actually live in fear 24/7. Anyway showing innocence to discuss a not innocent topic is pretty moving.

I first discovered this song at school on spotify. I'm a huge fan of System Of A Down, and I wanted to see some of Serj's songs and albums, along with albums from Daron Malakian's band. This song is one of my favorites, not just from Serj, but of all time. I love the song, and also the message behind it. It's nice Serj hides messages like this in all of his songs. Also, I love this music video, it's so deep and it screams WAR.

I feel utterly helpless but I can't fathom what so many must feel like having lost family that way.

It's eerie how relevant his music still is. Honestly more should listen to this. I am not sure what helps... and if this even stands chance of making a difference. But many of his songs, like Borders are, Empty Walls, Harakiri... all are soo right when it comes to the current state of the world... maybe share them with your friends, who also like his music... or would like it. Explain how it makes you feel. One doesn't have to be a revolutionary to change stuff... and one doesn't have to bear the weight of the entire world to not feel helpless

Lyrics: Your empty walls, Your empty walls, Pretentious adventures, Dismissive apprehension, 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, Told you to 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, Told you to see from behind those empty walls, Want you to be left behind those empty walls, I told you to 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 yesterday, (From behind those empty walls...) Before you killed my family, (From behind those empty walls, the walls...) 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, (I want you...) Dying of anticipation, Choking from intoxication, (To be left behind those empty...) I want you to be left behind those empty walls, Told you to see from behind those empty walls, (Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking from intoxication...) Want you to be left behind those empty walls, (Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking from intoxication...) I told you to see from behind those empty walls, (Trust your empty walls, trust your empty walls) From behind those empty walls, (Trust your empty walls, trust your empty walls) From behind those empty walls, (Trust your empty walls, trust your empty walls) From behind those empty walls, Those walls! Those walls!

Сергей! Вы гениальны. Музыка которую я 10 лет назад, в свои 17 слушал и восхищался. Сегодня я стал старше, но этот клип (и музыка и видео-ряд).. Это потрясающе, и по всей видимости будет актуально вечно. К сожалению. Если бы вы посетили Россию (особенно Санкт-Петербург), я бы с большим удовольствием пришел на Ваш концерт. У нас тут карантин правда, но быть может к концу лета что-нибудь и прояснится. Питер летом красивый город.

Good stuff, Serj. Sometimes, when I think of the innocence that evil spawns from, it just shakes me to the core. When I think of those who have shifted history for the worse, as a 5 year old, my heart breaks. I have been bullied and been the bully. I am the wound and the tourniquet. Feed the good wolf in you.
