Woah, woah. Does this song show that Serj Studies or has studied the bible? Lets break it down. Babylon is considered the 'System of Satan' named after the great city Babylon in Mesopotamia (located in the eastern part of the world) because of its depravity and false religion ect. This 'modern day babylon' is pictured by Jesus as a great harlot because 'she' sleeps with and controls the leaders of the world. Now, satan leads us, finding and raising us up from children with false belifs that promise life but are lies, stars look out 'heaven and its inhabitants'. Painting faces on the dead means our common belif in ghosts when really, they are a lie to hide the fact these things that happen are satan's cause and his fellow angles that have forsaken god(demons). Alot of people followed and still follow babylon the great so that involves the gold thing. Life is ending because Satan will be destroyed eventually by God and all the lies will be undone (before its too late). Decieved = pulled us away from god. Comfortably delete us can point to the fact Satan does not care about our lives (gods creations). Because the end is coming we are too late to save the garden (of eden/earth). We are breaking through and praying (because we are learning the end is coming). (dots connecting means things are becoming clearer). Um by the looks of it Serj has little faith in that god will make things better at the end of it all. This is what I think at the moment lol xD and yes its widows not windows. So yeah, very good song. Also I deeply apolgize if I have gotten a few minor facts wrong but I kinda blotched this out after thinking about it :S. Also this is just a take on it, no arguing about religion please. |

| Serj Tankian – Saving Us Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I feel its about how difficult the world can be for the downtrodden and 'out of the wheel' type people, e.g. homeless, jobless and such. In the video the homeless guy can be seen as someone who needs help while the world and all their misguided/twisted ideals ignore him and let the man struggle on through life yet it is the people who are not tied to the majority of the world who are willing, no they want to help and do (the children in the vid). Because its difficult to break free and see the world as it is, away from all the trappings people forget the whole point of being human and thats love. To me the lyrics are telling how hard it is for someone without these so called 'ideals' and attempting to fit into the world as it is but mostly rejected and attacked, the saving us bit is how only an small portion of people want to help and even then most do it for guilt/ego (thus continuing the 'tearing us' thing). Serj lying I think is about how people lie to avoid false judgement from others because they fear it, and 'being honest is a sign of weakness' mentality. Not to mention in doing so it would probally scrap most of the 'ideals'. Pretty much this song is about how much conflict and aggression there is in todays society, with almost everyone trying to force their ideals on everyone else 'for the better'. |
