Despite being an enthusiastic megahit, Chop Suey is surprisingly gloomy and mysterious; certain lines have gone viral, albeit maybe a suicidal thought or two has crossed their thoughts.
The Armenian-American quintet System of a Down successfully conveyed their controversial and publicly concerned sentiments during the nu-metal trend of the early 2000s by blending elements of underworld metal bands from the 1980s with metallic alternative rock from the early 1990s. With the release of their breakthrough single Toxicity, their ominous and chaotic approach catapulted them from an underground community to a full-blown movement.
No one can hold on to life with such fervour; I refuse to accept the idea that suicidal thoughts are abnormal and reserved for a select few. Self-destructive people often claim that listening to music makes them feel less alone; this could be due to a number of factors, including a desire to escape into the song's catchiness, an underlying fondness for the song's sadness or suicidal ideas, or, worst of all, a genuine appreciation for the song's quality. After the manic meltdown of the refrain—a breakdown brought on by the tension of appearances and concealment—the chorus provides a respite, while the bridge is a fervent prayer to God in response to the injustice of creation.
"Chop Suey is all about suicidal ideas, thoughts and a viral listen."
As a morning ritual, getting dressed is all about avoiding an untidy appearance. This isn't just about eradicating an unattractive aesthetic; it's also about taming an overly sincere persona, which is why the refrain of Chop Suey is about covering up wounds. Despite claims to the contrary, suicide should be kept hidden since it goes against our inherent nature and is best experienced in mystery.
As far as songs go, Chop Suey is flawless. It has a profound significance and is ominous while being melodious. You should definitely give this song a try since it makes you think. Listen to the track below:
