Guitarist Daron Malakian, who wrote it with lead singer Serj Tankian, explained: "The song is about how when people die, they will be regarded differently depending on the way they pass. Like, if I were to die from a drug overdose, everyone would say I deserved it because I abused drugs, hence the line 'Angels deserve to die.'"

I always loved in the bridge section, where Serj and Daron both shout "Father" that each picks a different emotion - Serj is almost angry, whilst Daron is complete desperation. It's like an internal mental battle.

@Cadinho93 Жыл бұрын
Fun fact: The song was originally titled "Suicide", but Columbia Records forced the band to change it to avoid controversy. The song title is therefore a wordplay: "Suey" is "suicide", "chopped" in half. Basically, "Chop Suey" is a masterpiece. One of the songwriters said that the song is about how we are all judged differently depending on the circumstances of our deaths, but like Serj Tankian has said before (lead singer of the band), music is all about interpretation, so you can explain it any way you want to that makes sense to you.

Imo it's in part about domestic violence "Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up" (hide the scars of the beatings to fade away that they happened) "Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? Here you go create another fable" (Any reason is enough for the abuser to justify violence, in his opinion, the victim is just making excuses)

I absolutely love that my 13 year old loves SOAD. She describes the changes in Serge’s voice as warm and cold. She loves how he can sing ANYTHING perfectly. I intend on taking her to see them as soon as I can. Last year I took her to see Disturbed, her first concert. She LOVES them almost as much as I do. 😂

Cool reaction! The guitarrist's name is Daron Malakian. He also has a side project with a band called Scars on Broadway where he's the main singer. For some beautiful harmonies between Daron and Serj you could check out Tentative, even though it's not a typical reaction song, but that might mean it's new to you which could be cool. Another particularly important System of a Down song I'd recommend is Holy Mountains, maybe there's some live footage from Yerevan (Wake up the Souls tour of 2015 to remember the Armenian genocide). A totally different, but also highly entertaining live performance is Psycho from Big Day Out 2002.

Great reaction and analysis! There is another meaning hidden in the song, which I never got until I heard Daron explain it. The "I cry when angels deserve to die" bit is a lament that people judge others who have committed suicide from drug abuse saying that they deserved to die. It's really sick that people are like that, but that's what that means. He cries when people say that angels deserve to die

When this hit back in 2001, I had a new favourite song. I've since moved on and had other favs, but I will always love Chop Suey. August Burns Red did a cover of it a couple years back that is imho the best cover. The drums are heavier, and I'm a sucker for that. I haven't been watching very long, but I've always enjoyed your reactions since finding you. Hope you're having a great day!

They had this unique style of switching between beautifully melodious and in a second going HARD!!! They didn't try to disguise it either which was quite brilliant! It's like strapping into a rollercoaster. This is not easy to achieve as it it can feel clunky. They did it to perfection! You're listening excitedly like a dog waiting for a treat! Also, your stank face can't be faked. When you're in the moment, nobody looks great. It's probably the greatest endorsement an artist can have. Side note - I'm officially banned from listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan whilst driving. I can't help it but I close my eyes to feel it when he gets going! It's an involuntary reflex.
