>< M'kay, I know there's probably another board for this song already, but I can't seem to find it right now... Also, sorry if someone's already said this!!! But anyway, here goes:
It seems like this song is about Daron sort of reflecting on his life. He's saying, "Hey man, look at me rocking out, I'm on the radio." Meaning, "Wow, look where I am today". I think the line "They take me away from, the strangest places, sweet Danny and Lisa." means that when he's feeling like he's in a strange situation or something, he can look back at childhood memories (I remember seeing someone say Danny and Lisa were his friends when he was a kid) and maybe they make him feel better? At that point where they go "La la la lalala la, lalala la, lalala la" it sounds like a merry-go-round going a little crazy, maybe he's saying that now that he's grown up things are kind of crazy? (Of course, I thought I remembered reading something that said he didn't have the best childhood. I have no idea, though...)
Anyway, just a theory. It might not be about him at all! Comments, anyone?
Hey!Have u ever seen an interview on youtube...A person asked what is the meaning of that song...and Serj said:IN MY TIME,I'M NOT THAT OLD...(LOL)...PEOPLE STARTED WATCHING VIDEOS...I MEAN ITS GOOD BUT THEY DONT LISTEN TO RADIO ANY MORE...THEY DON'T WATCH NEWS AND STUFF...THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD!...
Isnt it enough to say or what???!!!
Oh and sorry for the twice wrote...my internet is fooling around |

I saw that thing somewhere, too! I think it was wikipedia.
But anyway for me it's more importantant to find my own meaning for the song than to know what Daron has thought. |

Lisa and Sweet Danny = L.S.D? Like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"? xD I think these lyrics aren't very explicit, personally I don't think that they were referred to Radio and Video industries. The "L.S.D" explanation gives sense to "They take me away from the strangest places, Sweet Danny and Lisa", for example.
I think SystemGirl just owned this thread.
I will say though, if that is not the meaning, then it's what was pointed out in this thread, which in my opinion, isn't that hard to comprehend. However, the reason I think SystemGirl is correct is that Daron's music is highly influenced by the Beatles =] |

i think this was discussed before,too..
and since you're still a newbie (like i'm not..hehe),i'd advice you to use the search button to search topics before you make a new thread..
anyway,you're idea is not bad,it could be true,but some people (like me) don't like to believe that every song that system made is about drugs..i read that danny and lisa are daron's childhood friends,and i don't think they are connected to drugs in any possible way..i suppose that the coincidence between their names and LSD is accidentally..
i just don't like to believe that almost every song of theirs is about drugs..it sounds kinda silly.. |

| ^^I've heard or read somewhere, where Daron said that Danny and Lisa where friends of his when he was younger. |
