Cover art for I-E-A-I-A-I-O lyrics by System of a Down

We all get that I-E-A-I-A-I-O are the vowels to idealization, illegalization, liberalization, and internalization.

The part that confuses us is: Mine delusions acquainted = MDA Bubbles erotica = BE Plutonium wedding rings = PWR Icicles stretching = IS Bicycles, shoestrings = BS One flag, flaggy but one = OF FBO Painting the paintings of the alive = PPA

Is it possible that the first letter to each word make up acronyms (or stand for other words)?

MDA - Media BE - Back-end PWR - Power IS - is BS - Bull S(h)it OF - Opposing Force FBO - For the Benefit Of PPA - Propaganda

Could the song be telling us that "Media back-end power is a bull s(h)it opposing for the benefit of propaganda"?

You are quite a philosopher, my friend. If SOAD is that deep with their meaning, I am going to forever look at them in a different way. I wouldn't think that would be the message at all, but it all comes together, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I am pretty sure they are that deep. They often admonish of riots that got beaten down, wars, abuse of power and media etc Would never have figured out that the bubbles part is a code, but as i read the letters i instantly interpretes them the way iareebee did. Still some of the other interpretations are plausible as well though, and i wouldnt wonder if soad intended it that way

@lareebee Wow such a cipher, just...wow. Don't you think it might be kinda like...an overthinking? Because you know I though they were artists, not agents. I also supposed that lyrics originated from poetry, which is based on unconsciouss impression of words, that were used, not ciphers...oh my god:D
