You guys are thinking way too hard about this song. Yes some of Serj Tankian's songs are political and some have deep meanings but this one's pretty straight forward. Incest, Murder, and Suicide. Basically it tells a story of a boy and girl who commit incest, who are having sex with each other. Then the chorus lets us know they both decided to commit suicide only the brother doesn't jump off the cliff which is inherently murder since he talked her into it. And as she dies he delightfully says or sings "lalalala lie lie lie" very creepy. Basically it's this crazy twisted drama story.

I agree 100%. Also if you watch the video, the brother ends up committing suicide later, probably out of guilt.
