You should listen to Lonely Day by System of a Down.

My favorite line of the song is “eating seeds is a pass time activity.” I’ve always taken it as ‘they’ taught us that we should spend our free time consuming more of their products and lies. They being the stereotypical they of corporation and government. Most of their work is to bring light to major issues swept out of our view to keep the ‘norm’

I am SO sick and tired of hearing:
“That’s so 2000s”
“That’s so 1990s”
“That’s so 1980s”
etc.
What does the modern generation have to offer other than vapid bubblegum pop?
God almighty, wake up, kids.

I’m a member of a covers band. You have no idea how euphoric four middle aged guys feel shaking off the day job, kids & life commitments raging this tune in a room in the middle of nowhere… Just as a break from the mundane. Thanks for these reaction vids.

If you want another song in which ‘life seems repetitive’ I would recommend reacting to Nine Inch Nail’s “Everyday Is Exactly the Same”.

I used to use this album to help me get through tedious tasks. The lead singer actually remade the whole album with the New Zealand symphony orchestra to encourage young people to listen to more classical music. In my opinion it’s better than the original version. System of a down are true musicians.

BTW, listen to Chop Suey again with the knowledge that they are a band of disillusioned Armenian Orthodox raised Agnostics and you will almost immediately get whose self righteous suicide this is about.

you definitely picked the right profession. spot os analysis, the only thing you missed was the thing they were trying to explain about what everything is leading up to through all the toxic struggles of life. He was saying it all leads to God. Not the sun, the son.

While watching your analysis I realized this song makes me think of 9/11. Upon further research I found that it came out in September of 2001, so in the exact same month as the attack. I remember feeling really angry and confused during that time. In addition to typical teen angst, we were all living in fear and uncertainty (worried there would be more terrorist attacks and a military draft). It was also only a few years after Columbine so there was always this underlying fear of school shootings. The line “How do you own the world, how do you own disorder?” really resonated at that time. SOAD was a staple on my playlists along with Disturbed, Linkin Park, and Rage Against the Machine. In hindsight it makes a lot of sense.

its amazing that hearing a couple analysis on songs I loved growing up and realizing that a lot of my problem were muted in my mind due to some of these songs. but hearing you perspective allowed me to further think and internally. search for the answers inside, and how to get them to the surface in order to do some healing.thank you very much for your channel and your time, it truly helps many of us daily.

i always thought the “sacred silence” was pre-life and the “sleep” is death. between the two is disorder. how do you own disorder?

“…I don’t know, we’ll see!” - you say that often, makes me laugh. I’ve been enjoying your videos lately. Thank you.

@HeartSupport, this song encapsulates how I have been feeling for the past 4-5 years. I’m 45, never married, no partner, no kids. I feel I have lost at living and to be honest, I’m not sure if I have the inner strength or energy or if I can even be bothered to get myself out of this situation. Every time I have tried to get myself to of the situation, every time I try to lift myself up, someone comes along and rips my feet out from under me.
