Songs Meaning - How SOADsaved my life

Post subject: How SOADsaved my life
Right quick story:
When i was in secondary school (i left last year) because i was a goth i used to be picked on really badly and accused of horrible things (like when my rabbit died i was accused of performing some devil ritual on it) and i started sliting my wrists (i still have the scars all over my arms) and slipknot didnt really help so wen my friend Amy-Jaye got me the Aerials single she told me to listen to it. Coz i had neva listened to it before the first time i really liked it and it made me feel so much better.
The lyrics to me mean that we can fall down at great hieghts and feel broken but we can always get back up again and try our best not to give in to people like them (the people who bullied me)
I stopped slitting my wrists and carried on being who i was. I get depressed alot still but each song has a meaning to me. The main songs that hav stopped me from killing myself are ego brain, aerials, lost in hollywood, spiders, chop suey, ATWA, streamline, roulette, sad statue and question.
All the band members are and inspiration to me.
You may think im a loser but i mean it wen i say that soad saved my life.

it's exactly the same thing for me (that the songs helps me, but i dont cut my wrists).. just one bad thing was that Aerials made me get anorexia (the song made me be skinny, i thought it was a good thing), but then Aerials made me gain weight again

nice little review of soad. i think theyve saved alot of people, not just through music, but through who they are and what they stand for.

The song that help me are roulette,mr.jack,ATWA,lost in hollywood,radio/video,streamline,chop suey,aerials,and question.Alot of people out there need to listen to SOAD.They save alot of peoples lives. And I thank Daron so much in every single way that I could thank him.He saves me.

You're not the only one who has been inspired by System of a Down. A couple years ago, my mother died on December 25 and I lived with my brother and step father afterwards. My step father always yelled at us and nothing was good enough for him. I eventually moved, but when I did, I found out my step father was wasting money on drugs to get his fix. Later I paid more attention to System of a Down's music and felt muh better about life, I feel I can actually make a diffrence.

ruby_gloom, glad to hear that you aren't cutting yourself anymore, life is too valuble to just throw away like that. When ever I feel depressed (g/f break ups and shit like that) I listen to SoaD, and just something about the lyrics,Serj's voice, and the sound of the music make me feel alot better.
cozmachina - Oct 02, 2005 - 04:30 AM
Post subject:
^No, seriously... all of this "life is too valuable to waste" stuff is kind of obsolete, no offense. You can't tell that to someone who doesn't feel it. You can't make them "see" your point of view on something like that, because in my opinion, that's just something to bide your time.
People just need to find their "niche", so to speak. An outlet, I suppose. And if it's not destructive, it becomes productive.

When I saw the title of this thread I was imagining a story about how the members of System repelled down a cliff of razor blades to rescue you from man-eating crocodiles/pterodactyls/bigfoot in the middle of a lake of liquid hot magma. Once saved, they fly off using jet-packs/superpowers, but not before leaving you with a totally sweet memento (read: Daron's Custom Iceman).
But this is a nice story too. Glad you're here to enjoy Hypnotize with us!

I think... for me at least, it's hard to talk about things like these guys. No one around me knows what the heck I'm talking about. The only person outside of this place that I can discuss SOAD with is my brother, and he hasn't been able to talk. I haven't heard his voice for nine months. 
Hey, Ruby... how's your guitar playing?
And yes, HIMluv, we've gotten off topic. If any of the mods come to this thread, I can only hope that they just move it instead of closing it.

SOAD saved my life too, and inspired to express my feelings by music, not by hurtin' myself.
Couple years ago I didn't "have a life", just school and after school I went home.. No frends, no hobbies. Nobody was interested in me, in my feelings. Nobody noticed me..
And then I got sick, I started to take pills..
Fuckin' great, right?
But then I heard about SOAD, and i liked it.. The music and lyrics just blowd my head away.. So hypnotizin'.. Then my life got an meaning, I made changes in my life in better ways, my point of view changed. Positive thinking is working for me
So SOAD really made a big change in my life, thnx.

back to the topic 
...i understand how u have felt...i was in the same mood, and i feel this at times...
my life is so overladen but it's my fault.
i became indiffrent to everything...in brief i was depressed.
God saved my life...my faith...and music 
...when singers are singing it's as if i would sing out all my pain..it's like i would yell..and it brings me relief and when i'm in bad mood or something give me pain i'm drawning...i draw my agony and bad mood out...
and System of a down and mudvayne are so precious to me...this music and these bands are much more to me than a simple metal band or music.
i'm so happy for you. especially Ruby_Gloom. U're a great person! thank u that u started this thread.

Yes, individuum - one of the most favorable things to do is something like that... even if you think it might be stupid to someone else. All of your energy goes into that. In a way, you can say that the emotion is still trapped because it's on paper, (bleh bleh bleh.... until someone reads it) but at least it's not trapped inside of the person who made it anymore. You keep that stuff hidden and it can only get worse.

I have depression, but i seriously dont think I could ever do that, i have great friends and family and I have too much to live for. I want to get married and have kids, and I cant see taking that all away to be worm food (im an aethiest), i have too much to live for. I thought I was the only one but its nice to see others who feel the same way. SOAD also helped me out of this, whenever I feel the depression coming on i can just listen to them for hours Serjs voice just calms me, this site also helps as well and Im glad we can all be there to support eachother like a family !

Oh... and... um... SOAD has changed my life for the better, because it's something that only me and my mom( besides all the lovely people here) have in common, which brought us even closer, which makes me happy! (My attempt to stay on topic! )

Oh, yeh... we have spammed for a bit, but I must tell you... HIMluv, I'm glad that System has brought you and your mom a bit closer. My brother and I always talk about music. That's our bond (besides our blood)... so System has and still is playing a big role in that, too. Mostly because we talk about them more than anything right now... anticipation at its best.

My cousin has a drum kit, and I've played it a couple of times and I'm complete shite! But the bass.... the bass was what I wanted to learn originally, but guitars are cheaper so I got a guitar. Which rox... but I'm a bassist in my head!

Ehm, I will go back to the topic if you let me...
Well, SOAD never saved my life, but for many times made me smile and laugh. When I'm feeling kinda sad, or something, I just turn on "Sugar" and I'm feeling so much fucking better! Like in lyrics of this pretty song ^^' Besides, SOAD isn't a band, wich plays depress song... Their songs get about important things, but also there are songs like "This cocaine makes me feel like I'm on this song" and it's makes me laugh every time when I listen to it.
Thank you for attention

I have a similar expieriance. I was made fun of a lot and had alot of domestic problems, and I always listened to Korn which wasn't really a release. I got into system when I was in 5th grade or so, about 4 1/2 years ago. I'm happy to have found them. But I always seen the songs in more of a spiritual light. Serj was a big inspiration to me with his words; he inspired me to write. System influenced me to persue the truth rather then beliefs, got me started with astral travel, esoteric work, as well as meditation and history. They are good people, very good.

Post subject: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: How SOADsaved my life
Matt, aka byob_hypnoticcomputers, is best friends with Ruby and I. I met them both on this board, and as the board lengthened we started talking more, then Ruby added us to her friends list, and now we talk quite frequently. In fact we make conversations out of every board one of us starts.... just go into the Streamline and see!
I don't know if this answered your question correctly... but if not, just tell me what you want to know!

Oh, so you just became friends... I know this. On one forum I met my best friend, and now we talk, and talk... ^^" That's nice feeling, when you meet people with the same interest, and then you are friends... Congratulations
And your answer was very good... almost like on confession
HIMluv - Oct 14, 2005 - 05:23 PM
Post subject: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: How SOADsaved my life
Yeah... a confession... that's funny.
It is a great feeling, since none of my friends where I live understand my SOAD obsession...
But I'm really greatful for the both of them. I've been talking more to Ruby and Matt lately than I have been my friends from school!
Oh well, whatever floats my boat, right?

I don't smash them. I use the insides for pie, soup, and breads and stuff. Pumpkin carving is one of MY fave things to do this time of year. And it's MY favorite time of year, too (from now until the snow disappears for good). I think I love everything about this season. Except for FRUITCAKE.

Where's your smile? I don't see it...lol
But I'll smile AT you.
Now remember Ruby - when you said that you were crying when you first saw that picture that I drew? And I told you that you weren't a loser - you're simply not a loser for your emotions. No one can lose at that. We all have them. Even if we feel too many at once. You're still not a loser. A combination of many emotions comes to a point (like crying or laughing or yelling, etc...). I think that it's how you release them. People judge you by that. At first, they don't feel what you feel because they're not you. If they can understand, they'll laugh or cry or yell with you. Maybe they'll know if they do that.
Errr - I'm rambling and I'm trying not to cry....lol
The point or "climax" of emotion is also when you're playing guitar - when you're writing - when you're doing anything that someone else calls "art" - the real "art" is inside of you. And that also goes for everyone else. There's an art in playing, smiling, crying, teaching, learning, eating (LOL), praying, listening, helping - all of life is art. It's just not respected like it should be. I truly believe that if people were to consider themselves AS ART - things would be a lot different.

ok,sorry matt,but i read only the beginning of this topic ...i also loved ACDC till i discovered SOAD.I was on a birthday party when i first heard B.Y.O.B and Chop Suey!It was a cool party and i loved that songs,because they reminded me the great time i had.a friend of me gave the whole discography and gradually i became true SOAD fan.and as they helped u,ruby_gloom,they helped me too.when i am disappointed with my friends and i hear serj's voice,i feel better.it's nice that you stopped sliting your wrists,i believe,they will keep helping people with their music

Cheddar buscuits... they just made me happy, I guess. I can't actually describe it. Maybe I had a lyric stuck in my head, and the combination of the two just had me feeling better. I also just got done making breakfast for two - and because he was happy with his steak, eggs and cheddar buscuits, so was I and the buscuits just made it even better.

No, no jokes. I didn't really have one in mind at the time. My fishy days are on the burner for now. J/K

Post subject: RE: Re: RE: Re: How SOADsaved my life
You know what's funny about that, SERJ-IS-COOL, many people focus on the members, of course... I can understand why. But it's more about the music. Because music is emotional, and in most ways, you just can't describe how it makes you feel. Sometimes there are no words.
And I am very glad that this particular thread (although many times - off topic it has been ) has actually helped people. Whether it's been someone finding out they can just let something out, even though they think it makes them look like fools. It matters. Whether someone thinks you are chasing a dream... meeting the members, or revolving your seconds or minutes or hours or whatever makes up your day around SOAD... it matters. If using SOAD as an outlet or calling them saviors is crazy, then there better be tons of room in the nuthouse.
Speaking about a nuthouse... I mentioned something to Ruby once, and it was about people either in rehab or mental institutions (but this was from a situation, so I don't mean every "patient")... how some people that are "locked up" in those things, they're viewed as outcasts, or as people with disablilites. And it would make sense to stick someone into something like that if they think it will help the person face reality? How can a place like that... medicate and sedate someone and "train" them to go out into the world, only to come back even more fucked up than when they came in there? Truthfully? It's reality that's fucked up. It's the world that has a problem. More often than not, it's why they are in there in the first place.

I do think SOAD has saved many lives. The song Chop Suey! is a play on words and is about suicide. Chop Suey (suicide). I just find their songs help people become a better person.

True we all have our own special way of seeing things and different songs help different people.
cozmachina - Oct 25, 2005 - 06:02 PM
Post subject: RE: Re: RE: Re: How SOADsaved my life
In different ways. Just like in the Songs Meaning forum... when someone expresses what they feel about a song and what it means... it's just for them. And some agree.
I'm not going to repeat what's already been said about that...lol
As long as you're happy, I'm happy.

thats true Cozmachina i feel there is no right meaning for there songs each person has a different view on there song and what it means to them its a different meaning for each person!
i hope that makes sense!

I can't fly....
I'm a penguin....
Penguins can't fly!!!
But I could beat ALL your asses at swimming!!!!!
Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
And you can't use my feathers for Matt's wings, because, once again, I am a penguin... my feathers are useless towards the art of flight.
However if you re-read about 4 lines up you will see why I am insanely happy to be a penguin.
....Now that I'm through being random....

But penguins can't climb.... but that's ok.
I'm afraid of heights.
But I love to fly.... go figure!!
Ruby,
You won a gold medal?!?
That's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't compete much at all.
I think the only thing I've ever won was a pumpkin carving contest in the 2nd grade.
My pumpkin won the largest pumpkin category.... so it wasn't even judged on skill.
I did compete in a trumpet thingie once, and I got a Superior (the highest) but other than that.... nope. No awards.

I have been cutting my wrists for 3 years now. I used to make at least 50 cuts at a time, and write letters to the people I was mad at or to who ever in blood. (I was really scary) But last summer I really started listening to the words and meaning behind Sytem of a Down's songs and they helped me alot. I got evey CD they made and made like 20 different CDs of nothing but their music in different orders and mixed up and stuff. It helped me out so much I stopped cutting for a good long while, but after hearing nothing but S.O.A.D every day (that's all I listened to for like 6 months) the songs slowly didn't help me out anymore, and I started cutting again. If anyone reads this, I'm glad to hear any advice you have to offer me to help me stop for good.

Hi Liana1. I noticed that you only posted once in here, and I'm sorry for the way that you feel. Just so you know... if SOAD isn't helping like they used to, then you have SOADfans who are very willing. And I know that doesn't give you an answer, but... like I tell Ruby - it's so hard to twist things around completely.

Post subject:
It's good that you did. I just wondered because there are some that only post once and then don't come back. Like they just needed to tell someone something like as if no one else listens.
I was looking to see if Ruby has an idea. I told Ruby how SOAD's music makes me feel, and she took it and kind of incorporated it into everything that she loves - everything that she wants to really do. Since you said that SOAD hasn't kept you happy after a while... I just feel that you should at least have some options or suggestions not pertaining to them. But I don't think that you should leave them out if that's what made you happier in the beginning.
Well - what is it about them that actually made you feel something different? Particularly what kind of meaning did you get from it? And I think another question that I want to ask is why doesn't it help anymore? Did you think that you lost something or has it just become repetitive?
Liana1 - Oct 29, 2005 - 03:59 AM

A lot of their songs have made me jus stop and think for a second about how people out there have worse things going on in their lives, made my problems feel smaller. One day when I was really feeling like crap Know came up on the CD and I really wasn't listening to it because I was thinking, but one part of the song caught my attentio, when it says "have you ever wanted to die..." then in the next verse it says "Never try to die, you ever try to die." I stopped and thought about all the people I would hurt if I hurt myself.
Another time I was mad at my mom for what ever reason and she cane to apologize (cause I was right) but I wouldn't except her apology. Sad Statue was playing and when I sat back downon my bed the part that says "Forgiveness is the ultimate sacrifice..." came on and made me feel bad for not accepting her apology.
And even another time I wanted to borrow soe money from my prents to go to the mall the next day, but they didn't have any cash on them so I was all mad and stuff, went back to my room and Boom was playing and it was at the part that says "Manufacturing consent
Is the name of the game,
The bottom line is money,Nobody gives a fuck f***.4000 hungry children die per hour,from starvation..." it made me feel more appreciative of the things I had insted of focusing all my thoughts on the things I wanted.
I really don't know why the songs haven't been helping me out any more... I guess once you hear something over and over again every day it becomes less meaningful

I've also cut the whole out side part of my arm I couldn't bend it with out a cut opening, then I cut right above my knees (those scars faded in the sun along with the ones on the out side part of my arm) ran out of room there are cut my thighs.

Hi Liana1
im really sorry to hear that you cut yourself but SOAD helped you but then you cut yourself again. like Cozmachina said there are loads of people on here that will help you!
i cant actually give you any advice beacuse i have never done that to myself so if you do need advice ask for Cozmachina because she is really wise. i cant really help that much....

Liana1,
I don't know how you feel about people saying that they are sorry for you.... but I'm not going to. When people say they are sorry for me for something that I have possible control over... it just pisses me off. Why should they be sorry??
I understand what you mean about SOAD becoming repetitive after 6 months... I did it too. I've never inflicted damage on myself but I'm sure I would have if there weren't some bands out there.
One in particular I like to vent with is Staind. Their lead singer had a fucked up childhood and that's what he sings about; all that rage and anger he has toward his family and all the fake people around him. It fit my situation perfectly. But first I must warn you that Staind can make you even more depressed at first, then it gets better.
Even though the music seems limited in meaning, you really can interperate it in anyway. I love their music, it really helps me a lot. I'm actually in the middle of a Staind funk as we speak...
I've cried to Staind, I've screamed to Staind, and I've felt stronger because of Staind...
If you decide to give them a fair shot... I hope they help you too.
Ruby,
Have I helped you??
I hope I've been of some assistance...
Matt,
You've helped me feel better about myself.
I actually consider the fact that I might be attractive because of you.
Whether you reallt think that or not.... it's how you made me feel.
And confidence in my own appearance was something I didn't have before I met you.
I knew I was smart, I knew I was funny, I knew I was musically inclined....
But good looking??
Never.
Thank You.....
*Hugs everyone*
