Most of you guys are wrong, the song has nothing to do with sex or condoms or orgies. This song, together with "P.L.U.C.K." (http://www.soadfans.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-1381-highlight-pluck.htm) and "Holy Mountains" (http://www.soadfans.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-15601.htm), is part of the Armenian Genocide Trilogy.

I posted a long historical background in “Holy Mountains” for those interested in history. The same background applies to “X“.

Most Armenians remember the Genocide, but what pisses them off the most is the fact that the Turkish Government (and the Turkish people too!!!!) systematically deny that anything happened. They say that 1.5 million people just vanished or that they were killed by other Armenians and all kinds of BS. Turkish common people, educated since childhood to hate Armenians and to deny the genocide, are very adamant to stick to the Government’s story. You can Google “Armenian Genocide” and there is one Turkish Genocide denial site for almost every Armenian remembrance site. There are even laws that punish Turkish people that acknowledge the genocide.

To put matters in perspective, it is as if the German Government OFFICIALLY denies that the Jewish Holocaust ever happened, and that it‘s all a Jewish conspiracy against the German people. And that the German people AS A WHOLE stick to that sham story and label all people that object as traitors, collaborators of the enemy, etc.

A pretty sad affair indeed.

This song is specially aimed at the Turkish listener:

Tell the people,
Tell the people that arrive,
Tell the people,
Tell the people that arrive,
We don't need to multiply, (ARMENIANS ARE FEW 7-8 MILLION, WHILE TURKS ARE 80 MILLION. THEIR STRENGHT IS NOT IN NUMBERS BUT IN THE JUSTICE OF THEIR CLAIM)
We don't need to multiply,
We don't need to multiply,
We don't need to multiply,
Die.

Show your people
Show your people how we died (SHOW YOUR GOVERNMENT THAT THE GENOCIDE DID HAPPEN)
Show your people
Show your people how we died,
We don't need to nullify, (ARMENIANS, UNLIKE TURKS, DON’T NEED TO HIDE THINGS)
We don't need to nullify,
We don't need to nullify,
We don't need to nullify
No need to nullify,
No need to nullify,
No need to nullify,
We don't need to nullify
Die.

We don't need to,
We don't need to,
We don't need to,
We don't need to.

Ask your people,
Ask your people what is right, (ASKING THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT TO TELL THE TRUTH TO THE TURKISH PEOPLE)
Ask your people,
Ask your people what is right,
We don't need to multiply,
We don't need to multiply,
We don't need to multiply,
We don't need to multiply,
No need to multiply,
No need to multiply,
No need to multiply,
We don't need to multiply.

great observation man, and i think you're right! you fully analysed the whole song. i wont say much more since you explained it well. just wanna add "We don't need to nullify" in Armenian has a strong meaning "chnchvil" and for that reason + what you already said, i think it's about the genocide.

Interesting... I always took X as a song about genocide, and the Armenian Genocide of 1915 in particular due to the way that the song is written in the first person, as if they were there or were a part of it in some way. Still an interesting point of view I guess... lyrically it wouldn't suprise me if they were talking about condoms so yea, haha. Nice.
