The song is about how we judge people based on how they died. Someone overdoses and we say 'well they did it to themselves and they deserved it'. But, that person was also someone's child and will always be an angel to them.

From what I understand the song is about how people can be seen differently and even judged depending on how they die. The song was originally called suicide but the label made them change the name so they called it chop suey because they were forced to chop it up. Honestly though I only understood the meaning years after I first heard it, they are DEEP. Nice vid dude thanks for uploading!

It was uploaded 14 years ago, but the song is older. It's from 2001. It's difficult to categorize their genre. They are often labelled alternative metal, they are on the more experimental side of things, playing around with different styles. System of a downs music contains elements from Nu Metal, Thrash Metal, Speed Metal, alternative rock, punk, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and even folklore. There are a lot of eastern european and middle eastern influences. They are my favorite band since highschool, and I'm 41 years old now. Still love them. If you want to try another one, try System of a down - Toxicity. "He got a good ass voice". True, he is considered to be one of the most iconic singers in rock music. He has a crazy range and voice control. And before you wonder, yes he also can rap quite good, he rapped on a track with the Wu Tang Clan. His timing and flow is perfect. His name is Serj Tankian. He's also a solo artist, and known for a lot collaborations with artists from various genres. He also did a track with TecNine "Straight out the gate". But he's not rapping in this one. "if all rock songs sound like this...." Nah, definately not. System of a down are their own genre, and very unique. YOu listen to System of a down, because they don't sound generic or like all the other bands. ^^

Just to give you some important additional info: All the band members are from armenian descent, but growing up in an armenian community in glendale california. It's their armenian heritage that adds eastern european and middle eastern elements to their music. Their topics are often political, adressing a lot of social issues. But despite these more serious topics, they have also some hilarious funny songs going on. They were very big during the late 90ies/early 2000s. They won grammies, MTV awards and had multiple no 1 albums in the US and the whole world. They had their breakthrough when they met their producer Rick Rubin, who saw them playing in the iconic "viper room". A club in West Hollywood, once owned by Johnny Depp. @@NatReacts_

The song was originally called suicide but the record label didnt want it released with that name. So, the band, with a play on words, "chopped' the word suicide to sui... Hence chopped suey. It was released right before the tragedy of 9/11. Considering the sensitive nature of the song,.it.was removed from radio airplay i believe for about 6 months after that tragic day. As for the meaning of the song, i pulled this from a website: the song was intended to make a comment on the ways that people die. Malakian said that people judge others for how they pass, especially if due to any drug-related issues. “The song is about how when people die, they will be regarded differently depending on the way they pass,” said Malakian. “Like, if I were to die from a drug overdose, everyone would say I deserved it because I abused drugs, hence the line Angels deserve to die.”

To be more precise, they literally chopped the word suicide, so they chop sui-cide-> Chop Sui -> Chop Suey. And we can also see Serj eating a bucket of chop suey with a pretty bad face to show their disapproval for this renaming.

This is what the Producer says about the "Father into your arms" line : ""And we're sitting in the library in my old house and he said 'I don't have words for this' and we were finishing and it's like, OK. 'Any ideas?'; he didn't have any ideas. So I said, 'OK, pick a book off the wall.' He picked a book randomly off the wall, I said, 'open it to any page [and] tell me the first phrase you see", that was the line we saw. Not sure if it's true, but it makes for a great story. kzitem.info/news/bejne/koaVxaWgj3Rqh5g

Most of System of a Down's songs are buried in symbolism and references to political and social issues not often discussed the public discourse. However, there are a few songs that are pretty up front and can be taken at face value. Copy Suey is one of them, and it's about suicide. The original title of the song was actually "Suicide", but the record label made them change it, thus "Chop Sui(Suey)" came to be. Definitely check out more of their songs.

As someone who has lost someone to suicide, this song is still so healing for me. Society has made the topics of self harm and suicide such a taboo that people have lost empathy for those affected by it. "I cry when angels deserve to die" and "why have you forsaken me" are a commentary on people with depression, psychosis, addiction etc being forgotten, thrown away, and treated like they deserve to die.
@nataliecaya8917

I feel the song is about, based in the lyrics "I cry when angles deserve to die" "why have you forsaken me" is about how when good people are subjected to a hard life that they end up taking their lives as a means to escape the torment of the mind and /or of life's situations and how its sad and unfair the that such good people feel so trapped and have maybe even prayed for life to get better to in the end take their life

KZitem began in 2005. Anything before was brought on afterward. System of a Down began late 90s, got popular by early 2000s. In fact, many of the rock tracks you're reacting to came before KZitem. Back then, MTV actually played music videos on TV. Well, in the 90s, it was on the main channel, then after getting filled with shows, they made an MTV2 for music, and eventually, it got filled with shows. MTV may have started as music television. It's more like Mainstream Television. But i haven't watched it in maybe a decade. A friend on m8ne still watches it for a show featuring comedic fails. I dont remember the name.

most SOAD songs are more about a vibe than a super-specific thing. this one, i think, is sort of a meditation on how the way people die affects how their lives are perceived by others, and an expression of frustration at the idea that anyone might have "deserved" their death (via overdose, for example).

I'm not a heavy metal fan personally but this song is the exception. The feels this song gives me and has given me from the day it came out is unmatched by any other song. This song is all about how we view people on the way they die. How we judge them for how they either choose to die or how their lives are taken by actions they take. It is not literal when he says "when Angels deserve to die' - basically he is saying everyone is an Angel no matter how they die. Society forsakens people who have mental issues that lead to suicide. The Father forsakes those who choose suicide, when he should not - after all, this is the world He created. The song title is literal a Chop(ped) Suey(cide). Hope that helps. ❤

If I'm wrong somebody let me know... Who am I kidding. Everybody with an internet connection will let me know. But I think they were an Armenian metal band. But immigrated to America. A lot of their songs are Anti-fascism, and comment on the state of the U.S. as well as their home country. The band broke up after the members political beliefs started to cause discourse between them. Lead Singer Serj Tankian has put out multiple solo albums since. He has one of the most distinct styles of music in rock history.

By the time the 90s hit, the traditional genres of music started to change to the point that traditional genre labels didnt adequately describe the music. In the 80s, the record stores had everything sectioned into Rock, Rap, Pop, Country, Blues, Soul, Classical, soundtracks. By the 90s, it seems every genre grew. Even though there was already music that didnt fit the traditional labels, Rock became, grunge, punk, metal, alt rock, and all those genres made their own different sounds. Metal alone has probably dozens of genre. They all mixed and experimented with other genres to the point that some bands have such a sound of their own, its probably just best described by naming the band. What genre is System of a Down? Ahhh, its pretty Rock and rollish, but is pretty heavy at times like metal....probably thrash or groove, but brings in some rap pop sound followed by some operatic vocals and instrumentals that have an eastern europeanish flair...90s rock?....or, just call it, SOD rock?
