All you who are saying it's a religious song about god are wrong. grimmrepo666 is right, it's talking about how we created god, not the other way around. 'Why can't you see that you are my child? Why don't you know that you are my mind?'
this is too obvious... the song is about how God created us and that we just dont take a second look at God and just forget about him, he gives us things and we take it for granted, science is telling us that there is no God and creation is a lie, so when he says "why cant you see that you are my child" its telling us how blinded we are to this and just ignore him completely
so yes it is kinda like an atheist song because its about how we have forgotten God and only see what he has given us
This song deffinately has a religion side to it, relating to the people of the eart as "forest" and how God claims us in the Bible as his own, when in vice versa is also an atheist point of view.
Also if you are familiar with the 2001 government it could also relate to the government, but not international pollution, not at all.
gosh... I'm just trying to put some humor on the comments so others wont be angered saying that everyone is wrong and they're right. To ME(which would be a fact and not an opinion) This song is describing the old testament, the new testament and what the world now does. But that's just to me and only to me unless if someone thinks the same thing. Then It would be our opinions and the fact that its our opinions makes it a fact, but now the thing we're trying to prove(its confusing, i know)
Who the hell thinks this song is about Jesus? What the fuck? Are you retarded? The song's about the world telling us how we are it's children and that we need to stop all of our forest destruction, because its killing the earth
You think this song's actually about a forest? It's about how God CLAIMS to be our father, when really WE made HIM. (Turn the forest into wine, Why can't you see that you are my child, Why don't you know that you are my mind). I thought it was pretty obvious. SINCE WHEN DO SOAD SONGS MEAN WHAT THE TITLE SAYS???
Thank you, I hate the fact that christians have to hijack every damn song. Serj is atheist and believes pretty much what Grimmrepo666 just stated. "you saw the product, now come inside." It's referring to god as a product, a commercial enterprise, Not the god you all believe in.
hes taking about north american culture cuz soad is a north american band so chill ur balls and about half my asian friends arent religious and ive got like over 20
This album for me is one of those albums that I can leave in my CD player for a year and never get sick of it. I still love this album I listen to it alteast once a week or so it seems.
system of a down is the best in the world cuz they have the best bass for my stero and i love this song and a lot more i think i should name them ok i will lonely day,forest,fuck the system,byob,sugar. and thats all i can think of so i hope u listen to those songs cuz they all have the best bass soo i hope u like them and if u have heard them u are fuckin rank soo yea i hope u like the bass on them and i love the song forest i think it's one of the best song's by system of a down sooooooo yea
000o--------------0000 00000-------------00000 00000-------------00000 00000-------------00000 00000-------------00000 00000|00000|00000|00000 00000|00000|00000|00000 00000|00000|00000|00000 00000|00000|00000|00000 -0000|000|00|000|00000-Copy --0000000000000000000--And ---0000000000000000----Paste ----00000000000000-----if u think ----00000000000000-----System Of A Down rules
They say they are on a "hiatus", but I'm not sure if that is the 100% truth right now because they seem to be enjoying making their own new music now, but maybe they will come back together one day and make another mind blowing album. System forever!
awesome song
