![]() "Wake up!"- many people with DID (dissociative identity disorder) have been through a strong turmoil such as abuse, so many of these people have a 'protector' personality that takes the pain. In Chop Suey, the almost whisper represents the side that continues to push the main personality to end his life. This is what I got of it, although the song is really meant to be taken in endless ways.įirst, many of the System of a Down songs portray there to be multiple sides of a person who struggles to control them all. So really the angel is used to represent the ideology behind the suicide bombings.Īnd what feeds this ideology is the desperation for God's love, explaining th bit on being forsaken by the "Father". and an angel deserves to die or perish when it enforces the idea that a self rightous suicide will get you to heaven, ( at least in the eyes of the extremist suicide bomber). " why dont you trust in my self righteous suicide"Īn angel in many cultures is viewed as a human's guide to heaven. * but this song was written months before so irrelevant then so when would an angel deserve to die when in reality who we thought was the good or light side of things really are the ones who deserve to die. Is there any reason not to view this as a suicide bombing? Hmmm.Īngels symbolize the light side of the spectrum with demons at the dark side. The only suicide that could be viewed as self rightous would most likely be a suicide bombing. "I don't think you trust in my self rightous suicide" *(Note-it would be convenient if this song were written after 9/11, then this the following interpretation would make more sense) " Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup"- what is being covered up? the alarming thing that just happened. ![]() "Grab a brush and put a little makeup" - Make being used as a cover up Alert or soundoff intending saying something alarming just happened. The rest of the lines follow up with this explanation, especially the line "I cry when angels deserve to die", meaning that he (the angel, a very fragile being) is obliged to kill himself because he can't manage to live in this world like everyone else. So maybe he's talking to God himself, saying that even though it's prohibited to take your own life he does it anyway, self-righteously, because he can't take it anymore and wants to end this. In the line "I don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicide" he's talking to his parents/friends, saying that he knows they won't acknowledge his choice, saying that his choice is self-righteous, because he will make them suffer, and because suicide is an anti-christian behavior God disapproves of. The line "Why'd you leave the keys upon the table" means that he doesn't want to come back home and that he would go to kill himself, hence why he would leave them: because he doesn't need them. The first lines are about him hiding his "scars to fade away the shake-ups", trying to cover his/her problems in front of the people. As many have said before, this song is about someone who chose to end his/her life because he couldn't make it anymore.
