Guitarist Daron Malakian: "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.'"
Mark Salza I don’t think drugs users deserve to die, but I do consider it a form of suicide. Although you could make the same argument for people who abuse anything, cigarettes, alcohol, food
Not my words its a quote from the artist but its definitely not a form of suicide in my opinion its an addiction stemming from one bad choice people do not do drugs because they WANT to die.
@@ddeviledart7519 the original name of the song was suicide but they were forced to change it, so they came up with chop suey: using suey as an abbreviation for suicide. The song reflects on the idea from Christianity that you go to hell if you kill yourself
This song has a very deep hidden meaning. The song is about drug addiction. "I cry when angels deserve to die" is just a play on words meaning "I cry when good people die from bad choices" SOAD songs almost always have a specific meaning to them. The original name of this song was called suicide but the record label made them change it to be more "radio friendly" I suggest reacting to BYOB(bring your own bombs) its a great song with a wonderful message
SOAD - an all Armenian band from LA that through their music wanted to shine light on the GENOCIDE of there people that just only recently got noted as a historical fact. Before the last couple years it was denied by the World. Great band full of nothing but energy. The lead singer Serj is a BEAST.
My oldest son had a Turkish friend in college who always got triggered when he heard the words "Armenian" and "genocide" together. IDK if he ever learned to deal or not.
Shout outs to you guys on your journey into deeper and more introspection through music. This is how we beat the powers that shouldn't be. By learning and growing through each other.
As one of members of this group said : "This song called "Chop Suey", because that's what we are as a band, as musicians"(vegetables, pasta, sauce, etc.(we are different and unique)). And what about meaning of the song - the song is about how differently we are treated depending on how we leave life. Everyone deserves to die. Like, if I was going to die of an overdose, they might say I deserved it because I was abusing dangerous drugs. Hence the line "I cry when angels deserve to die". Excerpts Of " Father! Into Your hands I give my spirit" and "Why have You forsaken me?» they are references to the death of Jesus on the cross, since, according to the Gospels, this was one of the seven sayings of Jesus before his death.
Ok, from what I’ve heard it was that they wanted it to be called “su*cide”, but some board didn’t agree with that so they renamed it “chop suey”, as like in they chopped the word su*cide, and also like a play with wods due to the Chinese dish.
I pushed the like button and I'm subscribed. Highly recommend you watch Prison Song with lyrics. It's one of their heaviest songs but the message is relevant to today. They warned us of the current state of events almost 20 years ago. Really want your thoughts on this one. System of the Down is my favorite band of all time. Lots of epic songs and flawless "switch ups". You will gain followers from reacting to their music.
In terms of the Christian ethos, self-harm and suicide is a sin because we shouldn’t desecrate the bodies God gave us. Much of society has absorbed this and thus its response to diseases like addiction can be very harsh and unsympathetic. The speaker turns it around and emphasizes the choices that someone makes are not always tied to their value as a person. From that perspective, the one who knowingly harms themselves (accepts their sin) can be viewed as more righteous than the person who high-handedly judges others without practicing compassion. The singer takes on an almost Christ-like stance of mercy towards those that the most “pious” people of society choose to look down on.
Fun Fact: This song was actually called 'Suicide' but the radio stations refused to play the song with a misleading title. So, they had to rename the song and make 'Chop Suey'.
This song is about death from addiction, whether it be spiritual death, emotional death, or physical death. My brother died from alcohol addiction a month ago. I, through his addiction, am going through an emotional death. Addiction is not limited to the person who is addicted.. When they are gone, we are left destroyed. I cry when angels deserve to die!
"Why have you forsaken me in your eyes forsaken me, in your thoughts forsaken me, in your heart FORSAKEN ME OH!" is my very favorite line in the song just because it is so drenched in emotion when Serj sings it.
appreciate the fact you guys appreciate the fact its a blend of all instruments and not a keyboard doing it all, with a rapper, rapping over a beat, rockers have to be in sync, imagine being slipknot, 9 members all blending their instruments to make awesomeness
The song directly quotes Jesus on the cross: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Followed by another quote from Christ on the cross:”Why have you forsaken me?” That plays into the words “Self-righteous suicide”. Christ, according scripture, could have refused the cross, but he accepted it willingly. “Angels deserve to die” describes that Christ was sinless (purity of an angel), but willingly took the sin of the world upon him. At that moment, when G-d saw his son, covered in sin, he turned his back and allowed Christ to die and be the sin sacrifice. That same moment, Christ felt the absence of his father and proclaimed “why have you forsaken me”? This song, at least the chorus, is the Gospel....wether it was intentional or not.
Song is more about suicide, that was even the original title but you make a very good point there, I thought it was a religious song when I first heard this
I agree with The Red Ranter, that's what I think this song is about. It makes sense with the lyrics. The lyrics themselves refer to Jesus' "self righteous suicide" as in dying on the cross. When the ones who arguably are to blame (the demons/fallen angels) deserve to die. Hence "when angels deserve to die". Then god forsakes him, the ultimate betrayal. It shows the hypocrisy inherent in a lot of religious stories ("there you go creating another fable"). This song is one of many things that made me eventually become agnostic. The writer of this song was clearly once religious and got disillusioned with the whole thing. It's why other than being a great song, this song also really speaks to me.
@@youngjiggymf1704 No, it wasn’t. Darion explained it’s about people judging others after their death and pointing at them like they deserved to die from whatever they went through. Hence the line “when angels deserve to die”.
@@honeyandlavender_ it relates to both... Comparing each lines about Angels, God, father, forsaken me? All intertwine quoting the Bible and relating it to personal experience which will coincide to the beliefs regarding “God” and committing suicide. As people who commit suicide are considered to have committed a great sin where they will go to hell. So a person who dies from suicide or drugs who are angels are mistakenly judged because of what scriptures tell them to believe and instead of what that person really believes or feels emotionally about their situation... Hence questioning why god was forsaking him and crying when angels deserve to die... “self righteous suicide” as Jesus died on the cross for our sins voluntarily and said those very same lines on the cross directed towards god for allowing it or “forsaking” him... SOAD has really deep meanings to their songs that has to be deciphered a lot by intuition... They are also political activists so there’s a deeper meaning when they talk about world issues... Everything they said lyrically relate to however you perceive it...
that ' father into your hands' was actually super random. they went to Rick Rubin for help with the song and he told them to pick a book from his bookcase and to randomly flick to page. and that was where that line came from, which they ofcourse felt fitting enough to incorporate it into the song
the lyrics "father into your hands i commend my spirit" "why have you forsaken me?" Were also Jesus Christ's dying words upon the cross. Jesus also went knowingly to his death.. A form of self sacrifice..or... Suicide. I know that SOAD lost a dear friend to Suicide who seemed ok on the outside but all the sudden ended his own life hence the lyric "wake up...grab a brush to put on a little make up..hide the scars to fade away the shake up." Great analysis guys i think you were spot on with the angels deserving to die aspect.
I remember System of a Down had a free concert in LA. When too many people showed up the concert was cancelled. The fans rushed the stage and tore everything up.
Some knowledge, this song was supposed to debut 2nd week of sept back in 2001, but because of the 9-11 attacks they postponed the song because peeps thought the content of the song was too insensitive because of the chorus "self righteous suicide.
"Father Into your hands I commend my spirit" is a passage from the book of Psalms in the Bible. So from a certain perspective Jesus dying on the cross was a self righteous suicide since the knew he was going to die and went along with it.
you missed the other part "why have you forsaken me". doesn't sound like he was going along with it. that line is found both in Mathew 27:46 and Mark 15:34
the song is about Armenian genocide. Yess it's referring to Jesus, showing how Armenians turned to him to be saved during the genocide. Self-righteous suicide has irony in it, meaning that Turkey still denies Armenian genocide, so that line is referring to them as if asking, then what was it? a suicide?
@@anushaghumyan7799 I always thought it was about the selfishness of suicide, you know, doing for your own reasons or "sacrificing" yourself to save other people from your demons.
A little knowledge drop: Y'all were talking about how deep the song was. They also sang in there "Father, into thy hands, i commend my spirit...Why have you forsaken me." Those lines are taken from the Bible when Jesus is on the cross.
Very sincere and well articulated reaction. I could swear I've seen both of you on different RUclips channels? Maybe I'm crazy. Either way liked and subscribed. Keep up the quality reaction content. ❤️
I grew up in the 90’s man. I love rap and metal. I can play a guitar and freestyle rap. The rap I like is old. 2pac, Biggie, Wu-Tang, Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, NWA, Dog pound, Fugees, Naz, Older snoop. It is good to hear different types of music. I am subbing to you guys right now. I liked your Rage against the machine reaction too. And you guys are funny, facts.
Y'all called me out me out so I liked and subbed! Keep up content like this! S.O.A.D is one of my most favourite groups ever! I'm glad you were moved to find the deeper meaning. All their songs do! Much Love and thank you for this! 💜💜💜
I really like when people stops music and think about lyrics. You don't only need to read books to learn. There's a lot of wisdom on rap and rock lyrics.
Is sooooo fucking awesome and to see you guys appreciate and try understand totally different types of music you’re used to. Fucking respect from the UK 🇬🇧
It’s crazy I grew up listening to this band and this song and never understood it, and I can watch y’all hear it for the first time and understand it, and y’all are hip hop heads !
Just found u guys yesterday,,, am loving it!! Just like you guys posting ur reactions and analyzing different music ,, i grew up listening to EVERYTHING,,, Die hard Eazy, Bone , E-40, MC8 and Spice1 fan,,, yet more of the actual music I owned was Hair Band and Heavy Metal. Loved my mainsteam and Mom always had country on. I love to see how you guys appreciate that it's all music, and that you'd be surprised if you give other genres a chance, u might find ur new favorite artist for this year?! I have not looked to see all of who u have viewed so far,,, but totally love what ur doin. Couple more common ones i was wondering if you had done was groups like White or Rob Zombie, Korn, and Limp Bizkit for example. Or Metallica, Megadeth, and Black Sabbath's WARPIGS is a staple of Hard Rock fans with Ozzy Osborne at vocals. I am sure you might find something like RAMMMSTEIN who are world famous German metal that was popular here for couple years with songs like DU HAST and SEHNSUCHT. P.O.D. is a very popular Christian metal band that had some big hits off both The Fundamental Elements of Southtown and Satellite with both title tracks charting, they are in that era of the real mixing of rock and rap that happened turn of the century time (1999-2002) which were bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit and the same time that Eminem was emerging. Am thinking POD Southtown, or Korn's Blind, A.D.I.D.A.S. , and ice-breaker Freak on a Leash which was intend to listen to while tripping. Limp Bizkit's Three Dollar Bill album introduced them to the world with Faith and Counterfeit, and Break Stuff,, before they changed gradually to more mainstream songs like Nookie, Re-Arranged, My Way, My Generation, and of course Rollin were all 99 and earlier. If you really wanna go out there,,, grab Kittie's all female heavy metal album Spit and check out title track. Thanks for doin what you guys do, I personally enjoy watching and remembering old songs I used to Jam to,,,,,,Want something sick,, You could check out what is listed EVERYWHERE by anyone as the most difficult guitar song, Eruption by Eddie Van Halen!!
Yo yall usually kill it with the reactions but lately yall are fuckin slaughtering the reactions. Keep it up boys. We need that popular monster - falling in reverse
I think Chop Suey was his singing style at the onset. Insane jam! Incredible performance. 100% from the vocalist, piano at the end, so many professional miscal elements in this song. When have we not cried out to the heavens as people?
Scriptwork reacting to rock music is about the best thing to happen this year. Do "Time Bomb" by Rancid next. Make sure you have the lyrics pulled up though. 😂
Old vid. But what you said at the beginning when you were talking about Rock. Is so true that I literally had to like and Follow. I’m a Rock Bassist and that really warmed my heart man.
The songs original title was "suicide" but they decided to change it because their lawyers advised against it. If you've ever known a person who killed themselves you can understand what this song means. It's the understanding that sometimes depression eats a soul so profoundly that they don't see any other way to make the pain go away.
The songs original title was actually suicide. But this happened during the 9-11 so they had to change it. At the beginning of the song you will hear serj say “roll suicide”
There are many popular videos about System of a Down but not many are about "Question!" It is one of their latest displays of pure raw skill and talent imo! Some people will probably say this is one of their "easier" songs... and that's ok to me, but tbh, this is not an "easy band" with an "easy song in the album" by any stretch... and i love that.
The original name of the song was Suicide but the label didn't want it to be so straight forward. In the song he says" wake up turn around and put a little make up, im a schizophrenic with the shake ups, you leave the keys under the table you wanted to" he talks about Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and drug abuse and when those people end up taking their own lives they are condemned by society and religions for doing so hence the lyric" i cry when angels deserve to die" meaning they deserve to be at peace and shouldn't be judged for loosing the battle. They chopped the word Suicide to Seuy. Name of the song Chop Seuy
Another home run gentleman great commentary both of you go deep and the subject matter your doing such a good idea you could keep rolling forever and y’all are perfect for it soooo fucking entertaining I love it thank you guys so much more please
What i love about "true" Hip-Hop is the fact that people could sample 2/3/4 songs or parts of different songs with beautiful scratch and make it an actual new song! DJ tables used as a true Instrument!
Song was supposed to be called "suicide" but record label didn't think it was radio friendly. Chop suey is just a play on the word suicide. BYOB is one of the greatest songs ever yall gotta check it!!!!
It's called Chop Suey as a play on words...it was supposed to be called Suicide but the label made them change the title...they took it from the line Self righteous Suicide (Right-chop Suey-side)...and yea it was supposed to be released the 2nd week of Sept 2001....
Welcome to the Rock world!!! You'll love it!! System of a Down has a lot of deep lyrics and so much substance in their meanings. Always worth a listen. They speak truth.
"Angels deserve to die", because even with good intentions only the person itself knows what is truly better for him/her.... it is your life, you're yourself, the ultimate freedom you have is to choose how, when and where to die (or not if you've choose yourself to not decide upon it) but no other person or religion should ever be allowed to decide how you should live your life unless you're ok with it.

Isnt this one about his fathers suicide or something?
BYOB is straight FIRE! y'all would love that shit. Same with Deer Dance and my personal fav is Forest.
@@Chronoshifty No the reason father is even brought up is because of the bible lol.
@@Light-oy5qf nah I dont mean the reason he says the word father. The whole song.

SOAD - an all Armenian band from LA that through their music wanted to shine light on the GENOCIDE of there people that just only recently got noted as a historical fact. Before the last couple years it was denied by the World. Great band full of nothing but energy. The lead singer Serj is a BEAST.
FACTS
My oldest son had a Turkish friend in college who always got triggered when he heard the words "Armenian" and "genocide" together. IDK if he ever learned to deal or not.
I saw the title and had to see this. Knew it would light up.
My fav part is at the end when Serj goes "I CRYYY!" That passion, this song is deeper than you think
Please react to holy mountains!
Y'all gotta check out the song Tech N9ne did with the lead singer of System of a Down. It's called "Straight out the Gate"
Facts!
Oh wow, had no idea about that. Dope.
Please do this song 🙏
That song is insane
Song is 🔥
Shout outs to you guys on your journey into deeper and more introspection through music.
This is how we beat the powers that shouldn't be.
By learning and growing through each other.

Beautiful
For me personally, System of a Down have the best transitions in the genre, unrivaled.
Damn y'all felt that "I cry when angels deserve to die" line af, I felt that haha

Limp Bizkit's Three Dollar Bill album introduced them to the world with Faith and Counterfeit, and Break Stuff,, before they changed gradually to more mainstream songs like Nookie, Re-Arranged, My Way, My Generation, and of course Rollin were all 99 and earlier. If you really wanna go out there,,, grab Kittie's all female heavy metal album Spit and check out title track. Thanks for doin what you guys do, I personally enjoy watching and remembering old songs I used to Jam to,,,,,,Want something sick,, You could check out what is listed EVERYWHERE by anyone as the most difficult guitar song, Eruption by Eddie Van Halen!!
Lyrics are poetry, doesn't matter if your delivery is some classic rap flow or an opera tenor, what you're hearing is the poetry of it.
subscribed after your "best friend" reaction. So Stocked you guys reacted to this song!!
I've been watching you guys for your Bill Burr reactions for a good while. Just subscribed because you are doing these rock reactions! Fantastic
the drummer going hard the whole time.
That's awesome you guys are open to other idea, suggestions and genres!
I loved your comment about why you love rock music in the beginning. That was good shit.
Yo yall usually kill it with the reactions but lately yall are fuckin slaughtering the reactions. Keep it up boys. We need that popular monster - falling in reverse
I think Chop Suey was his singing style at the onset. Insane jam! Incredible performance. 100% from the vocalist, piano at the end, so many professional miscal elements in this song. When have we not cried out to the heavens as people?
All System is raw. Glad you guys enjoyed it. So cool watching people hear sounds I've loved for years.amazing
Been a huge SOAD fan for a while, so awesome to see new fans🔥🔥 gained a subscriber, loved your guys thoughts on it
The "angels deserve to die" is referring to the saying that 'when someone commits suicide, an angel dies'
Love your reaction! System of a down bringing everyone of every color of every creed together. Peace brothers ♡

You guys rock. So much music to explore whether rock, rap, folk, Alternative Rock, etc...
Scriptwork reacting to rock music is about the best thing to happen this year. Do "Time Bomb" by Rancid next. Make sure you have the lyrics pulled up though. 😂
Old vid. But what you said at the beginning when you were talking about Rock. Is so true that I literally had to like and Follow. I’m a Rock Bassist and that really warmed my heart man.
The songs original title was "suicide" but they decided to change it because their lawyers advised against it. If you've ever known a person who killed themselves you can understand what this song means. It's the understanding that sometimes depression eats a soul so profoundly that they don't see any other way to make the pain go away.
The songs original title was actually suicide. But this happened during the 9-11 so they had to change it. At the beginning of the song you will hear serj say “roll suicide”
System of a down prison song for next reaction please. Then toxicity.
prison song please youll understand why after listening to it
Iz a classic. U giving quality vids and send real and honest vibes out to the universe
I always love hearing the different interpretations of this song! Liked and subbed!
There are many popular videos about System of a Down but not many are about "Question!" It is one of their latest displays of pure raw skill and talent imo! Some people will probably say this is one of their "easier" songs... and that's ok to me, but tbh, this is not an "easy band" with an "easy song in the album" by any stretch... and i love that.
Love ya guys! You get music more than some reaction channels. You actually listen to the lyrics and that's what me and others love!
I like that you guys analyze and try to understand the meaning of the lyrics. I always love to see how other people interpret music. Good stuff!
Just woke up from a nap after a 14 hr shift and theres a Chop Suey reaction?!?!? Im still dreaming right?!?!
The original name of this song was "Suicide" but the label told the them to chop suicide for the name. So they named it "Chop Suey"
The original name of the song was Suicide but the label didn't want it to be so straight forward. In the song he says" wake up turn around and put a little make up, im a schizophrenic with the shake ups, you leave the keys under the table you wanted to" he talks about Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and drug abuse and when those people end up taking their own lives they are condemned by society and religions for doing so hence the lyric" i cry when angels deserve to die" meaning they deserve to be at peace and shouldn't be judged for loosing the battle. They chopped the word Suicide to Seuy. Name of the song Chop Seuy
For real though, you want to hear some metal bars? Master of Puppets by Metallica is an absolute masterpiece.
Everything in the 90s was poppin rap and this 90's was it no bull
I been subbed for a minute. Been rockin system of a down for 20 years.
Enjoy TF outta it 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭🎯🔥💯

I'm subscribed guys...I like the channel... keep doing what ur doing...I like u guys because u r unbiased opinions just showing good music respect...
I enjoy listening to you guys trying to understand and interpret what’s before you.
What i love about "true" Hip-Hop is the fact that people could sample 2/3/4 songs or parts of different songs with beautiful scratch and make it an actual new song! DJ tables used as a true Instrument!
Love luv luv your clips keep on dishin' out your soulful candor and camaraderie......🌹😘
Another good transition band from rap/hip-hop is P.O.D.
Check out "Southtown" by them ....too many people slept on them
I agree!
You are right. Thanks for the great content. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
I've been in my own heavy metal bubble. I love all SOAD. Toxicity, Prison, Deer Dance.
SOAD got some of the best transitions in the game. They go so hard, bring you down, and hammer it again before you can blink.
Song was supposed to be called "suicide" but record label didn't think it was radio friendly. Chop suey is just a play on the word suicide. BYOB is one of the greatest songs ever yall gotta check it!!!!
It's called Chop Suey as a play on words...it was supposed to be called Suicide but the label made them change the title...they took it from the line Self righteous Suicide (Right-chop Suey-side)...and yea it was supposed to be released the 2nd week of Sept 2001....
My favorite genres of music are rock, hip hop, and country bc I have never heard a bad song out of these genres that where professionally made
Welcome to the Rock world!!! You'll love it!! System of a Down has a lot of deep lyrics and so much substance in their meanings. Always worth a listen. They speak truth.
"Angels deserve to die", because even with good intentions only the person itself knows what is truly better for him/her.... it is your life, you're yourself, the ultimate freedom you have is to choose how, when and where to die (or not if you've choose yourself to not decide upon it) but no other person or religion should ever be allowed to decide how you should live your life unless you're ok with it.
