Chop Suey
The world we live in today is full of surprise and mystery. Anything that exists could or does have a hidden meaning or message. Scientific studies show that some ancient scripts and symbols are not languages. They're actually just warning signs or messages. But today we give hidden meaning to our own type of art. Such as music, motion pictures and art itself, or anything you can put meaning to. I think the best example of allegorical meaning is through music. In this heavy metal song "Chop Suey" by System of a down there are several religious mocks and a little bit of backmasking. Here are the song's lyrics in blue font.i just crossed the feeling with a shakeup (i just crossed the feeling with a)why'd you leave the keys upon the tablehere you go creating another fable (you wanted to)grab her 'fore she put a little makeup (you wanted to)i just crossed the feeling with a shakeup (you wanted to)why'd you leave the keys upon the table (you wanted to)i don't think you trust in my self-righteou
Complaining about his x-girlfriend, or current one for that matter. A song is simply a fine work of art. The lines "I cry when angels deserve to die" when played in reverse it sounds like "and out emerged sledge yucky". If it were, then there wouldn't be anybody like me trying to figure out its purpose. He suggests his father has forsaken him, asking the question why? Again he wishes for his fathers help had he not been forsaken. How he thinks angels should die is an atheist attempt of religion. s suicidei cry when angels deserve to diewake up (wake up)grandma should put a little makeupi just crossed the feeling with (i just crossed the feeling with a)why'd you leave the keys upon the table(here you go) we need another fable (you wanted to)grab her 'fore she put a little makeup (you wanted to)i just crossed the feeling with a shakeup (you wanted to)why'd you leave the keys upon the table (you wanted to)i don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicidei cry when angels deserve to die in my self-righteous suicidei pray when angels deserve to diefatherbrotherfathermotherfather, into your hands i commend my spiritfather, into your hands, why have you forsaken me?in your eyes forsaken mein your thoughts forsaken mein your heart forsaken, metrust in my self-righteous suicidei cry when angels deserve to die in my self-righteous suicidewhy cry when angels deserve to die The song has several technical meanings dealing with religion and the lead singers' life. But I think there is a little more to it than what meets the eye, or what the songwriters like to say it means. In his fathers hands his spirit is commended. Since he screams the members of his family he is calling out to them. The makeup, the shakeup, and the keys on the table, all are getting his guns off from a bad relationship. This gives character and imagination into ones mind to create their own meaning or image to the song. The last couple stanzas deal with his family. Possibly his only cure to his fate is through his fathers hands.
