Lonely Day by System Of A Down
I cant embed it here for it was requested to be disabled
You will probably notice that there is a grammar error in a one line
"Most loneliest day of my life"
But its probably on purpose to harmonize with the music
But what is most important is that i learned there is something fascinating about the music video
In almost every scene, something is on fire and nobody ever notices it
So there are various interpretations by fans
And some of them are incredible
1:This song is actually about Daron being in a fight with his current girlfriend and his ex. They were both really mad at him, so he felt like he was alone that day, therefore: the name. He said this himself in an interview on www.soadfans.com
2:I belive the song may be about a lose of someone close to one of the band members. And how eveyday following that is lonely be cause of the person not being there. And the person is happy to of survied the lose of the person but unavoidably will always fell the lonlyness ever more. Almost as if when he says it's a day he was glad he survived he trying to reassure himself all will be well with the days yet to come.
3:if you've ever seen the video it shows not only daron, serj, John and shavo, but regular people doing things with their daily lives. but in almost every shot, something in the background is on fire, but no one is taking any notice to it. I think the point of this song is that there is so much drama, chaos, and issues in the world, but no one really is taking any notice to it- weather it be the govornment hushing it up, or peoples' fear of getting mixed up in any of the issues and getting themselves hurt, so they choose to ignore things and go on with their normal lives.
(I thought this was the pinnacle of analysis)
I wish i could have such awesome deductive skills=(
And yes there is nothing to do at home, hence lonely day .
I wish there was a fast forward button
Fast forward to A level results
FF to army
Have fun for a few weeks then decide i skip all the torturous parts
FF to work
FF to finding love
FF to family
FF to old age
FF to death?
If we simplify it all down, life looks simple
Its almost a strange revelation that life is in fact that simple
But as we all know, alot of people like to make it more complicated than it really is. me included
So i was hearing about backstabbings
Hate-mongering
And all sorts of ultimately meaningless self-sastifying activites
Corporate politics
It really amazes me the last few years to see this
And it shattered the belief that i held the world is either black or white
And it undeniably corrupted me
For now i engage to a certain extent in what can only be described as despicable acts
It almost shocks me that we all revel in such a atrocious transgressions
But thats only because we govern ourselves by invisible moral guidelines
I cant see where this is all going
Sounds like ramblings of a mad man
Somehow i come to terms that there must be a sort of yin-yang balance in the world
For every charity donation, there must be relationship breaker
For every help the elderly cross the road, there must be a betrayal
We cannot be all-good or all-bad
For without bad, we will not know good and vice versa
And back to the point that life is so insignificant
It so happens that my music player in playing dust in the wind by kansas
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind
Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind
Sad really. Makes me wanna give up on life because in the end there is no result
But i must say its in the process not the end product for which there is none=)
This makes me feel much better now=)
Go out there and do something good!
Bennie out=S(Delirious from *mushrooms* thus all the random rants)
