Seems like a love song to me. To the director, however, it's more political: http://www.kevinestrada.com/serj.html |

| The new version on his myspace (www.myspace.com/serjtankian) is the complete version, with more violin and cussing at the end, among other things. | |

Hmm...to me it seems like Serj is saying that it's better to be buried than cremated. Can anyone else see it? |

After listening to it, I figured out that the first time it's tolerable, then "dollarable", then next time that verse comes up he says tolerable and then tolerable once again. But then again, maybe he's just pronouncing tolerable differently. He pronounces society and "sasayati" and I-E-A-I-A-I-O he says (if you listen carefully): "Meeting John at Dale's Jr./winked an eye and point a finger...Meeting John at Dale's Jr./winked an eye and point a FINBER". Now, finber doesn't make sense and it's most likely a mispronunciation, but dollarable does...so I guess we'll just have to wait until the official lyrics come out, no? |

| Yeah you guys have a point here, lonelyest isn't a word and I guess Serj can make up a word if there is sense to it! | |

Thanks! The album "Elect the Dead" actually comes out on October 23rd (if you live in the US). Also, "dollerable" would make sense, except it's not a word in the English dictionary. |

Alright, so the lyrics aren't very deep so this shouldn't be too hard. Let's start off with the first part... Quote: We don't need your democracy. Execute them kindly for me. Take them by their filthy nostrils Put them up in doggy hostels. We don't need your hypocrisy Execute real democracy. Post-industrial society The unthinking majority Basically, Serj is pissed at whoever is running their democracy and wants them dead. In the second part of this, Serj wants leaders to execute (carry out) what democracy is all about. Now we the people, in this post-industrial society, are not thinking. Quote: Anti-depressants Controlling tools of your system Making life more tolerable "Tools of your system" are referring to us. We are taking anti-depressants (drugs, alcohol, etc.) and forgetting about what is going on around us. Quote: I believe that you're wrong Insinuating that they hold the bomb Clearing the way for the oil brigade Serj, in my opinion, is referring to Iraq here. The US government told everyone that Saddam had bombs, and once they got in they brought in people to get oil. That's it! |
