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.
Most of SOAD is about the government being corrupt and essentially calling out the government.
“You depend on our protection” military and army’s.
“Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth” essentially saying that soldiers and military personnel are being lied to or being taken advantage of. Military perks aren’t the best and the military really fucks people up. My dad and my moms close coworker talk about it all the time because the government is so fucked up. SOAD called out the government and the government decided they weren’t allowed to tour anymore.
If you watch TV today you will see that they feed us lies while we sit at the table and watch
the party is all the allied forces having fun in the desert blowing shit up. Its sacred land for the people and wars destroy.
Its about Armenia where all the band members are from, its the wars that have ravaged the middle east, its anti war.
Distractions after Distraction
“Everyone is at a party and you’re not really seeing what’s going on”
Everyone in the military at that time:…yeah, something like that.
You know i was like its an anti war song especially with them being Armenian. But i like your broader explanation of it.
if you read Serj’s new book, he always struggled with confrontation. i wrote an entire sentence but i am too raw personally to get those words out still. SOAD’s music has always done an impact on me and these interpretations have just backed everything up hahaha cheers
Great example of how to do an anti-war but pro-soldier song. Recognizing that most of the enlisted are as much victims of warmongering as the civilians.
Do we really need a therapy for confirmation?
Absolutely love you for doing this! Thank you 
You should do Deer Dance too
New Subscriber here. If you haven’t already, You need to hear the song “I am broken too” by Killswitch Engage. It is definitely a “its ok to not be ok” message
Millennials don’t need therapy! We got metal!
The thing to remember about SOAD is a lot of their material is political.
Nice you like metal / hard rock .
Des is nok hard metal ven des is metal
My favorite SOAD song 
. I am 70 years old and just came across you. Glad i did. I your reaction to this song. You seem like a very 
person. You’re so cute. I am subscribing to you right now. I’ll definately be watching you everyday . You made my day!!!
About seeing the problems and confronting them head in makes it also frustrating that nobody else seem to see it “were the fuck are you!!!”
