System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B Reaction

[@SketchyMagpie]

"I don't want to get too political on this" is not the best mindset to have whilst breaking down System of a Down lyrics XD

[@MDestron2282]

Nah.... Serj has said how he feels about politics. He does not want you to read too much into his lyrics and come to your own decisions about his music.... while a lot of it seems really obvious I think we should respect what he says and not put him on some kind of political pedestal... even if it's pretty obvious what he's saying.

[@johnathancox3583]

Facts are facts, not politics. I'm a veteran, if we had free college I never would've joined. I don't regret what I did really, I have a good life now, but I don't think we should send our kids to die when they can't even buy a beer or smoke a cigarette and still haven't sat the first day in any college we are failing our children.

This is one of my favorite anti-war songs. It blends some hardcore metal vocals with almost operatic parts with an almost soulful groove on the chorus. A great song. I do agree with your take on the class divide. But then again, class divisions are open to criticism, especially in art. And this is art.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

Damn they were TIGHT live! This kind of chaotic stuff is really hard to play live. Technical stuff aside, it's giving it that frenzied, yet synchronized feel that's a real feat.

He didn't say they were, you don't think our government is above banning a red blooded, born n raised American citizen from air travel, or just snatching them up for saying they don't agree with uncle Sam. Look at Edward Snowden, hell look at the current case with Daniel Hale. Tons of government agencies slide the media inside info, it's not a big deal, IF.... that info helps the government in anyway, paints a pretty picture over an ugly wall of truth. Daniel Hale though, was accused of giving an investigative journalist truthful information in the public interest about secretive US drone warfare program. Revealing gross human rights violations, and that drones were more deadly and less accurate than the US presented publicly. In a particular 5month stretch, ninety percent of people killed were not the intended target-including an American father and his teenage son. Most of this was signed off on and escalated by Obama, but Trump of course kept it going for a while. He was charged using the Espionage Act from 100yrs ago, and only in the last 5-10yrs has there been an uptick in its use, it states that you are a full blown spy and were caught spying on/against American interest. The courts also proclaimed that any testimony by those accused under this act, and any physical evidence supporting the accused will not be allowed during the trial. So Hale took a plea deal, he'll probably get 10, but the feds wanted life. This is also a huge shot at journalists and the media, intimidating them to not use trusted government sources out of fear of arrest. Control of the media is the first thing an authoritarian dictatorship does.

[@davidfabish-wood5278]

Glad you loved this song mate. It was written pretty much as the Iraq War happened - hence the references to “dancing in the desert” and “anchors sitting dripped in oil”, which alludes to the US fleet camping in the Strait of Hormuz while they “liberated” Iraq. You got what the song was about anyway, which touched on how the working class have always been sent to fight wars for the goals of the rich and their political lackeys.

[@AlfredSoul]

They break off the soothing, groovy section early, which deals with escapism, to go to the aggressive blast beats and the lyrical call to action, essentially "breaking through" the before mentioned lies. I could not think of another band that has creative details like that.

[@obiwanpez]

Rage tends to pick one or two per song.

[@AlfredSoul]

@@obiwanpez I do love them aswell, but I'm not sure there is thematically much to read into with the patterns of their songs. They usually communicate their message through the lyrics and emotionally underline it or give a sense of urgency through the music, but the music on it's own (only talking about the structure, of course) pretty much follows the usual format.

System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, The Offspring, Sublime, these were our protest music of the nineties and 2000s, and then we added Green Day and sometimes Muse with their album on 1984.

He climbed ranks so that his kids could go to college without loans.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

System of a Down have literally saved my life several times. Their music, and that of others, have given me a way to vent extreme overloads of emotion that were pushing me to kill myself. When the world becomes too venomous to tolerate, when stupidity and selfishness cascade in greater and greater volumes and frequency over the poor and oppressed, there music let's me know I'm not alone in seeing it, and their words give voice to the pressure in my head. I have tried to escape a few times and failed to do so or was stopped. SOAD pulled me back from the cliff edge so many times.

SOAD is as conscious as RATM, just a lot more cryptic to the casual listener (except on Prison Song).

I've jokingly called their style "Armenian Folk Metal" for years.

[@gorgarath]

"Can these guys still fly on a plane?" I would not be surprised to find out that they couldn't for a period of time back in late 2001. One of their music videos got banned from MTV that September because it depicted planes crashing into tall buildings. Granted, the song was written and recorded well before that and the video had been out for a while before 9/11 as well. But there was a lot of rampant fear during that time and concerns that they were somehow involved among all the other conspiracy theories that were flying around. I actually just figured out an easy way to remember when I got to see them. I just remembered that it was my first day on antidepressants which makes it around January of 2001. Was in the 2nd row right up against the stage when they played in State College. Then moved back into the mosh pit for Slipknot when they came on. Was a great night.

[@cccheeks8819]

The music video has scenes of futuristic soldiers during the frantic portions of the song, representing the war in Iraq and possibly Afghanistan, and scenes of beautiful people in a nightclub during the slower parts, representing how the government ran up the national debt and told the 99% of us not in the military to continuing enjoying our lives while the wars were being fought.

[@the_nikster1]

this is probably my favorite SOAD song. one thing about the breakdown of the song and the "still you feed us lies from the tablecloth" lyric. my interpretation is that it's a reference to how we consume media as a distraction, most often from the tablecloth, or the dinner table where we watch television (or nowadays look at our smartphones) rather than pay attention to the wars happening around the world. and even when we do pay attention to what's happening, it's lies being fed to us from the government about "oil" or whatever other lie that is being fed to us from the tablecloth. the groovy breakdown symbolizes our desire to turn our minds away from the chaos and have a "real good time". basically, SOAD are geniuses and all of their music is political and I adore them for it.
