Okay peeps, gather round papa here. Yeah I know i'm late to the race, but what the hell, better late than never right?
Okay so first off like many others have already stated before me, thanks jackasses(jk btw), this is a multi-layered song. It may have to do with Serj's past love, i don't know, i don't know him therefore cannot ask. Okay anyway i just want it to be known that the other lead singer from System, Daron Vartan Malakian said, "Politics, for me, is a reflection of the world I live in. But love is just as important as politics to me. They both exist in the world, you know?" and i know he's not Serj, but some of these ideas must have been tossed around right?
So anyway, i think this song is geared toward the bettering of mankind, like many of Serj's songs... So anyway i'll give my proofs
1)"Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders, Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds, Oceans are combined..." may very well mean world connection, hopefully this wasn't thought up before me.
2) "Being that I love you so much, In the end they all will say, Breaking someone else's heart again..." Could be the instant dislike of those they love our loved ones, and how we think that if someone is loving our loved one that it's selfish and we usually think the worst of them.
3)"Find the little evil perpetrator, And feed him to the hungry alligator" Could very well be the instant demonization of someone who's done something "bad". Such as war criminals such as those from Iraq and the Taliban. I'm not saying that Talibani are correct, but are we in our persucution of them. Their just doing what they think is right, and so do we. But i think we're both wrong, with "we" meaning the u.s. society.
4) "You want it all, You want it all, Love is not about profits, Nor the riches in your dreams..." This is the easiest to decipher I think. It references the Neo-european greed, such as england, the U.S. and even Australia.
5)"The arms of time are breaking off, Civilization is on trail, The clocks eliminating time, Do you believe in me..." This could very well describe how the issue of Pulling out or Staying in the middle east is coming to a head and "The Arms of Time Are Breaking Off" meaning that until then we can't really do a damn thing. We need to make a decision, but because "Civilization is on trial" and "The Clocks Eliminating Time" We have yet to make a decision.
6)"I've been walking through these dead farms, But I don't mind, I've been screaming through these dead lungs, But I can't find..." These are easy, He's finding only death, and he tries to warn us, but none are listening.
7)"But lately I've been blind, You leave me all alone, left in time,You left me here to die, left in time, Leave me all alone, left in time..." Lately he's been blind i think refers to his molding of political minds being as he was on hiatus from SOAD and then it took him a while to come out with a solo album, and we just let him stay there, left in time. Now the leave me alone may very well be a fear that it may happen again, that we could forget Serj Tankian, i'm not sure this is the hardest line.
Well that's it's, that's what I think. I could very well be completely wrong, but I don't think i am...By the way this was written by an 18 yr. old kid. Can ya believe it?
