  General Comment:I agree with Chazz. This certainly looks like some retribution toward Serj Tankian. The scars on broadway album is MUCH lighter in subject (although not musically) than what Serj or SoaD did in the past. To be honest I kinda welcome this as I've always felt some bands (like SoaD) over-exploited certain themes.

    Yes, I agree that the "you" in this song certainly sounds like Serj Tankian. Serj's songs in system tended to be heavier and political, whereas Daron's were lighter and more personal or just wacky. The lines about nobody searching for a second chance, I'm just looking for a new romance make me think Daron has accepted being done with his partnership with Serj and System and he's looking for a new romance--a new start in life, a new band, a new lifestyle.
    
    I also think these lyrics are weird and vague enough that they could be about pretty much anything. Regardless of how he meant these lyrics, I would think that Daron is smart enough that he would know how they sounded to people familiar with his/Serj's history.
    
    And I think the line about losing says, "lose you lose you losin' and I'm feeling lucid."

  General Comment:I really think Daron, the Singer/Guitarist wrote this song with his old Band mate from System, Serj Tankian.
  This is the first track of the CD, so I think it's also in a sense him saying "This is not System, Don't expect it to be."
  
  It's great, in my opinion.
  I will always believe Tankians/Malakians voices will be less without the others, but I still love the music each has created since System Disbanded.

    I dont think they wrote it together...If Tankian did assist, then his name would of been mentioned under the ttle of the song where the lyrics were printed or at least Serj would of had a thank you in the thank you section where Daron mentioned his family and (ex) girlfriend.
    
    This tracked kicked off the album and I personally think that it is a BIG F-YOU to Serj and HIS decision to leave Malakian for a solo career.

  General Comment:Vartan's version is more accurate.
  
  IMO, this song is clearly about how our American society is based around Christianity and Christian eschatology. Everyone is happy to live their lifes believing what the masses believe without looking for anything else. The main character (could be Daren, could be someone else) is actually looking for something else, more specifically - love.
  
  I love the line "Losing, losing, losing and I'm feeling lucent." It's as if the main character is standing there while everyone is failing saying I told you so but, yet still, no one believes him.
  
  IMO, I think this song is about how religion is not the true love. Love is the true love.

  General Comment:this song was an awesome way to kick off the cd!!! catchy and really up beat. i cant quite figure out what to think of it except that he seems to be sarcastic in the chorus
  
  Because You Too Serious
  You're Gonna Make Me Delirious
  Because You Too Serious For Me
  
  i think that this is refering to what almost everyone in america says when someone trys to acctually think something through and do something right. people will just brush it off and say that you're too serious
