I disagree, if anything its an anti-organised religion song. Honestly... Serj himself is a very spiritual man. he may believe all modern religions to be false, but he is still religous..
We are far from holy
The wholeness of one
Repeat after me
he is saying we are far from holy, because he have lost our spiritual connection to the world, universe, nature ect. - Tao
wholeness of one = Tao, Great spirit, God, Universe - however you wish to look at it.
hes saying everyone who is part of the One, repeat after me
( this song kinda connects with the meaning of Borders Are)
Anywho, i find this part very interesting because.
We are far from love
But silence is golden
Please observe
We are all one, one species if you will and what hurts one will hurt the rest of us
hence we are far from love (love/compassion is The Key, to a brighter future)
silence is golden is an intersting thing to say, In Taoism silence have alot of meaning, its part of the Tao like everything is, but it is one of the words often used to try and describe the Tao, and adding ''please observe'' only adds to the fact that it may be of that which he speaks - but i guess one needs to understand what Taoism is to get what im on about xP lol
I doubt Serj is a Taoist, but Serj have stated himself what he believes, and from what i can tell Taoism comes very close to what he believes nevertheles - so makes sense it can seem like he speaks of the Tao.
