The assumptions people make out of lyrics. And now how about we have the real meaning behind it.

Chop Suey is about Serj's friend Lynn, from the band snot. He died in a car accident and Serj considered Lynn to be his angel, which is why Chop Suey was originally called Angel, it was changed to Chop Suey because that's what Lynns favourite food is.
"Grab a brush and put on a little makeup" - When you're at a funeral and you have an open casket they put makeup on the body. Which leads to "Hide the scares to fade away the shakeup".. Pretty self explainitory.
