Look at the song from this angle: put on a little make up to hide the scars from the shake up (cover your scars from a beating) here comes another fable (lie about the shake up)...

I've always interpreted "when angels deserve to die" as talking about someone that everyone thinks is a good and caring person (an "angel") but they're secretly abusive and sadistic (which is why they "deserve" to die)

This song has many parallels with the Book of Enoch and how God is going to destroy the fallen angels because they claim they are self righteous. In that case, angels do deserve to die lol

@coldchillin8382 Жыл бұрын

It’s more of how people put on a front when they’re depressed and contemplating suicide and pretending they’re ok when they’re really hurting inside. “Why’d you leave the keys up on the table” is because when you leave the house to commit suicide, you’re not coming back and don’t to take them with you.

You really hit the mail right on the head when you said that it’s like they cater to the ear of people who know music.

System of a down - ”Deer dance”, ”Hypnotize” or ”Bombs”, some of their most political songs with very strong messages. EDIT: Also, if you want some sick SOAD drums, check out ”Know” and "I-E-A-I-A-I-O". Toxicity is also a good shout, but imo quite overrated. Might be good for getting into the band though. Also some heavy drums on that one. John Dolmayan is a very underrated drummer.

The song is about violence against women - using makeup to hide the bruises, telling lies to cover the fact that they've been beaten to begin with, and in the end killing themselves. Their suicides being self-righteous because it's (from their point of view) an escape. "When angels deserve to die" is a reference to an old religious saying, that an angel dies every time someone kills themselves. He's crying because he understands the pain these women go through that drive them to ending their own lives.

This song is Party in the front, emotions in the back. The way the song is built is a reflection of the message it brings. (In my opinion). Putting on a front to disguise what's behind. They got that super hyped up first half, they hit you with the slow parts in between as if to let the emotions seep out. The last parts are the true face, how you really feel.

I Said I never heard of SOAD, it nothing I ever heard before but its good. So my son introduce me to SOAD. So I went down that rabbit hole with my son and listen to more of their Discography.

Great reaction, man! Like you say, System Of A Down was not your run of the mill band. They had a unique sound, and you can tell that they love to play music and make beautiful songs. The vocal harmonies are just gorgeous, and the songs very memorable. Also, as you said, they really shine in their use of dynamics - playing soft as a whisper in one part and then jumping right into very heavy, staccato sections. Armenian scales in there as well because I believe at least two of the guys have Armenian heritage. Bottom line is S.O.A.D. was one of the most unique bands to emerge from the 90s.
