Serj Tankian, former lead singer and front man of System of a Down, released a solo album towards the end of 2007. I have to say, it is briliant. Every song is a winner. Even better, the songs have real meaning. If you are not familir with the band or the man, read on. Even if you are fan, this will interest you. I have compiled a list of song lyric quotes that have meaning and at the same time, are exciting.I have started with the newest, the Serj Tankian solo album, Empty Walls and move backwards to the first, and self titled, System of a Down album.There are also a couple of videos at the bottom of the page. 

Song: Empty Walls Lyrics:

Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication

Song: Sky Is Over Lyrics:

Even though we can't afford The sky is over, Even though we can't afford The sky is over, I don't want to see you go, The sky is over Even though we can't afford The sky is over, Behind closed eyes lie The minds ready to awaken you, Are you at war with land And all of it's creatures, Your not-so-gentle persuasion Has been known to wreck economies Of countries, of empires, the sky is over

Song: The Unthinking Majority Lyrics:

We don't need your democracy. Execute them kindly for me. Take them by their filthy nostrils Put them up in doggy hostels. We don't need your hypocrisy Execute real democracy. Post-industrial society The unthinking majority

Song: Beethoven's C*** Lyrics:

The arms of time are breaking off, Civilization is on trial, The clocks eliminating time, Do you believe in me...

Being that I love you so much, In the end they all will say, Breaking someone else's heart again...

Song: Saving Us Lyrics:

But you were the one for me, And now you're going through the door, When you take that step I love you baby more and more, We need to laugh and sing and cry And warm each other's hearts tonight, Having fun of everything And loving all of mother god

Song: Honging Antelope Lyrics:

We are the cause of a world that's gone wrong, Nature will survive us human dogs after all,

You and me we'll all go down in history With a sad Statue of Liberty And a generation that didn't agree.

Song: Highway Song Lyrics:

The purest forms of life, Our days are never coming back, The cannons of our time, Our days are never coming back

Song: A.D.D. American Dreams Denied Lyrics:

We fought your wars with all our hearts, You sent us back in body parts, You took our wills with the truth you stole, We offer prayers for your long lost soul,

Song: Ego Brain Lyrics:

You see my pain is real, Watch my world dissolve, And pretend that none of us see the fall, As I turn to sand, You took me by the hand, And declared, that love prevails over all.

Song: Boom Lyrics:

I've been walking through your streets, Where all you money's earning, Where all your building's climbing, And clueless neckties working, Revolving fake lawn houses, Housing all your fears, Desensitized by tv, Overbearing advertising, God of consumerism, And all your crooked pictures, Looking good, mirrorism, Filtering information, For the public eye, Designed for profiteering, Your neighboor, what a guy.

Song: Prison Song Lyrics:

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons You don't even flinch All our taxes paying for your wars Against the new non-rich,

Song: Deer Dance Lyrics:

Presence sponsored fear Batallions of riot police With rubber bullet kisses Baton courtesies Service with a smile Beyond the staples center you can see America With it's tired poor avenging disgrace Peaceful loving youth against the brutality Of plastic existence

Song: Jet Pilot Lyrics:

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot One that smiled when he flew over the bay Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot One that smiled when he flew over the bay Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot One that smiled when he flew over the bay

Song: A.T.W.A Lyrics:

All the world I've seen before me passing by You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore

Song: Aerials Lyrics:

Life is a waterfall We're one in the river And one again after the fall Swimming through the void We hear the word We lose ourselves But we find it all...

Song: Sugar Lyrics:

I play Russian roulette everyday, a man's sport, With a bullet called life, yeah mama called life, (sugar) You know that every time I try to go Where I really want to be, It's already where I am, Cause I'm already there...
