Chop Suey

I don't listen to too much heavy metal. I don't like system of a down too much as a band, but one of my favorite songs is "Chop Suey." Apparently, it sounded like a pretty meaningless screamshow, but only a few minutes ago did I realise the depth of knowledge of the songwriter, as well as the forethought that went into writing the song.

Here are the lyrics, will explain later. Or maybe with parenthesis within the song.

Chop Suey! Lyrics

Wake up,
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup),
Grab a brush and put a little,
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable (Lines borrowed by Angry white boy Polka by Yankovic, but irrelevent here)

You wanted to,
Grab a brush and put a little makeup,
You wanted to,
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup,
You wanted to,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table,
You wanted to,

I don't think you trust,
In, my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die, Die,

Wake up,
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup),
Grab a brush and put a little,
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

You wanted to,
Grab a brush and put a little makeup,
You wanted to,
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup,
You wanted to,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table,
You wanted to,

I don't think you trust,
In, my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
In my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die

Father, Father, Father, Father,
Father/ Into your hands I commend my spirit, (this is the clever bit, Last words of none other than Jesus of Nazareth according to Luke 23:46 : "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.")
Father, into your hands,
Why have you forsaken me, (Last words of Jesus according to another version. The last words (among very few) that are preserved of the Aramaic which Jesus spoke. (Mark 15:34 & Matthew 27:46)

Trust in my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die,
In my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die.
