RuNAwaY, anti-American themed? What the hell are you talking about, and another thing none of the other songs even have a hint of anti-American themes what so ever. Serj isn’t and has never been anti-American; disagreeing with policies makes you patriotic. Serj is involved in the government because he, like all of us, should care about it.
Ok I think we can all agree that this song is talking about how people use religion to fuel and justify war. This is very common, especially within wars, which involve Islam. Also war has always been part of human nature. However, I think we’re missing key points in this song. Such as the lines: “Buddha, Mohammad and the Hindu / Lost 100”. This is just an odd mixture of religions; Buddhism is a religion that rarely gets into conflict and I don’t know much about Hinduism but I’d expect they wouldn’t either. Mohammad refers to Islam it doesn’t really fit with the other two religions. Then there the “Lost 100” which doesn’t make much since in the context, I mean well over 100 Islamic people have died as a result of current conflict.
Another line of interest is, “People still ask when will Armageddon begin” followed with “Dragging my feet any longer through this pussy littler”. I think that these lines are implying that we’re all still wondering with the end will come. But this is the end, it seems he is saying look at this shit we’ve gotten in. and then questioning, why are we still going through with this shit. Maybe hinting that we should pull out of Iraq.
Now onto the subject of the prophet referred to as, “Nlelith.” I think that it could be a pun for Neolithic, maybe a metaphor for the first human, our roots. Also if you think of prophet as God; then from God, came a king, for a king came servants or poor people. I’m not sure how “the swing”, creation or love has to do with it though. Also if you noticed that “creation” isn’t capitalized, I don’t think that it’s referring to Creation, as in the creation of the universe or Geneses.
