good point..... I wanna say its not about Jesus so I dont feel guilty listening to it.


I know what you mean, but if it's about Jesus should you feel guilty? It doesn't really say anything bad about Him does it?

i just hate when someone starts to talk when hears Chop Suey! like:

"God didnt forsaken them, they are rich! they got so much money that now dont know where to spend it!!"

i really hate it. because its lyrics, and noone asks to make mess of it.

But then what would the Wake up part be about? I used to think this song was about jesus (and it may be) but now i think this is the meaning: At the beginning, "we're rolling suicide" phrase means any object flying into another solid object. Listen after the the makeup part, and it sounds like shavo or serj yelling 911 but it is hard to hear. Me and a couple of other people have heard the "911" and you can too if you just listen. The wake up part of the song is about how people on 911 woke up, grabbed their makeup, hid their scars to fade away the shakeup, left their keys up on the table, and created another fable or just another day like any other day. That was the american point of view. Then the "i don't think you trust in my" part is from the islam point of view and how they consider themselves selfrightous if they committ suicide for their god. Then the "Father, into your hands" part is about how they feel right before they committ suicide for their god. I realize that the album came out a week before 911 2001 and I feel it was a warning. I'm not calling them terrorists but it seems like they were warning us. Alot of you will say that i'm calling soad terrorist and how could they know that it was going to happen but even people in our own u.s. government knew about the plan so?...I'm just giving another point of view of what this song could be about. Then again it could simply be about Jesus, but still, what would the wake up part be about???


Nice meaning. It's a pity that the album and the song had been released before this date.
That's best example that we will never know the real meanings of song lyrics. We can only interpret it subjective with our own individual backround of experiences.

*BH* is right chap tjoi an chinese sauce is also called chop suey. but if you search at wikipedia for system of a down and link to chop suey you'll get some other information.
Chop suey was a poem from serj father. and an painting from someone the song gives an discription about the painting. I think this song is not about jesus only the words ''father, father, I comment my spirit.....''

to me, this is mainly about Jesus but it could be about both because Jesus (in a way) committed suicide to save us. so yea, i didn't vote because i see it both ways

Rofl, I've changed my mind and can see why it is about jesus, but it is also about suicide, so i think it is suiced too!

WAR?NOMORE! At the beginning, "we're rolling suicide" is serj saying that they are recording the track. It was origonally called Suicide and they changed it before releasing it into the public.
