@[RobZombieFan:19261] I agree with a lot of your interpretation except for your thoughts on the "was fashion the reason why they were there" line... this is what I believe they were saying: The song references the Tiananmen Square Massacre. "Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square? Was fashion the reason why they were there?" Thousands of kids from the local universities in Beijing and from neighboring cities flocked to the City Centre to protest for a democracy-based government. What SOAD is trying to say is, young people, such as college aged young adults, will most likely join a protest, or stand for a cause if almost all of their peers are doing it. They think it's popular, trending, "fashionable" to follow the masses....like sheep hypnotized to what they are being told by the media: ("Television made you buy it.") |

And believing every hate-fueled scrap of propaganda that the government dispenses into the air waves without a question. ("Propaganda, leaves us blinded!") And then the line: "I'm just sitting in my car and, waiting for my girl." Is what Serj Tankian was actually doing when he wrote the lyrics for the song |
