System of a Down – Forest Lyrics 17 years ago
This is my favoite SOAD song. Ive listened hard and tough for years about this. I believe this song is about the Jewish people and Isrial in particular. This is not anti-semitic at all. Its god speaking to his sons spoken people as though they were one.
Tell everyone that im you, Jesus is god.
All that jazz man, just liten to it with the nation of Isrial and Jesus in mind.
The weapons referance could be about how America was and still is a large supplier of weapons to Isrial. America also had a hand in the formation of Isreal.

Perhaps the first verse of the song...turn the forest into wine..was more of a Jesus referance. Where as the later....turn the forest into sand...as about the formation of the nation of Isreal.

None of us can truly find the meaning of the song without hearing it from the horses mouth. But its fun to find your own meaning. Just listen to it.
