  • if u look at serj on facebook then it says hes a fictional character, thats sad

  • 4 minutes... norn iron lasted quite long :D

  • Oh, Christ ... Why is there a border running through the middle of Bulgaria ... ?

  • WOW WOW!!! Mexico fue el ultimo de los "Borders" WOW!!!!!!

  • KONY 2012

  • What the fuck is wrong with Bulgaria? Why is there a border in the middle of the country which goes into the Black sea??

  • But, the situation in Latvia in different from ours. And there is lot more russians in Latvia, then in Finland. While ago I heard in the news they are trying to make russian language an official language in Latvia and the people are against it. I hope everything turns ok for all of you guys :)

  • @hanskatheiluu Yeah, about 30% of our population is of Russian descent. It showed in the public voting (75% were against russian being an official language, 25% were for). Thank god that legislation didn't pass =D. The thing we have to realize is - a lot of the Russians that are living here were forced to live here as a part of the occupation, so we cannot blame them.

  • YOUR GODS ARE DEAD AN NOW WERE DANCEING IN THE STREETS!!!...if only...if only...

  • I like how borders of countries that have conflicting territories or territories with new forming countries and riots letting last to go at "Never let you go".

  • love how the last border disseper bettwen america and mexico <3

  • BEHOLD! The king of symbolism!

  • Cheaper and great video ever made

  • something seems a bit sketchy with him now.. unrelated to song

  • read the comments...

    they are fighting... that's y the borders are  over there...

    if you remove them thy will fight again and in order to separate them they put borders again... no world peace untill.. u learn 2 live with the other ppl around you and stop beiing so childish..

    i am really sorry for my bad english i hope you get the idea ^_^

  • @florinlik07 i totally agree, but its not just violence. think of religion, the whole middle east, all the progroms in russia and germany, religion is what puts up our boundries. or at least its a big factor

  • @Dutchmanvideos we would all surpass everyones expectations as humans if it wasnt because of religion,

  • When they opened the borders between Finland, Norway and Sweden, I was like yay Scandinavia is becoming one! But when they also lifted the borders between Finland and Russia, I was like oh noooo, put it back up, put it back up! The Russians are Mexicans of Finland...

  • @hanskatheiluu lmfao

  • @hanskatheiluu Yep. My feeling was similar when they lifted borders between baltic states (nice), and Russia (not so nice). I'm Latvian btw. I would love for this conflict to just go away, but it isn't so easy. A lot of old people bear grudge against Russia because of occupation. I think it is the job of our generation (the 20-25yr olds) to start a healthier, more peaceful relationship even with our former enemies.

  • @elendiel You're totally right bro... in Finland people bear grudge against Russia because of Russian occupation in ww2. And because of that Finland lost lot of important area to Russia, it's about 40 000 km2, which is about the size of Denmark! And over half million people had to flee and leave their homes.

  • @hanskatheiluu You're an ignorant bastard. You clearly don't listen to Serj's message.

  • @MysteryMisterE Dude chill out, that was just sarcasm :)

  • @hanskatheiluu HEY!, I'm Mexican, wanna fight 'bout it?

  • @hanskatheiluu I would totally support lifting the Finland, Norway, Sweden borders. I am Scottish but I love Scandinavia.

  • from 0:01 and on is the best part

  • 2:26 the best part :)

    

  • i dissagree 

  • Brilliant!

  • I might be a complete idiot, but I'm clueless of the situation between America and Mexico. How come it was the last one to go?

  • @Klapacik if you live in america, you are retarded, if not, America is having trouble with "illegal Immigration" from mexico, many americans try to force mexicans to stay out by protecting that border

  • @ijakerz93 may I remind you that the "illegal inmigration" is occurring in a territory that was stolen from mexico years ago?

  • @Klapacik I'm mexican, but I can tell you little about it, these problems mainly affect mexicans in extreme poverty and have caused some of the most racist ideas and laws in the US, that I can tell, but, as I'm not in need of money, I really dont know any details

  • IM PISSED OFF WHY IS THERE NO BORDER BETWEEN WALES AND ENGLAND IM WELSH AND WE ARE NOTHING LIKE THEM

    CACH I'R GROES GOCH!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Gruff312615 Really? Nothing like them. So what species are you then? Superficial minds create superficial differences, and inflate them. Just look at Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. 3 of the same EXACT belief systems, warring for 1700 years. Look at Sunni and Shiite, EXACTLY the same, and they want to kill each other over inflated superficial differences. You would think it gets exhausting.

  • Shame they've used such a terrible projection. Peters all the way.

  • By 2:00 I knew the Mexican-American border would be the last to removed. What are those poor people going to hop now?!?

  • @FirepoxNB I knew it too, lol, I'm mexican

  • Aww, it was so fun to wait when the borders of my country are going to disappear.

  • what i love about serj / SOAD is the fact that i can listen to them and then for some reason stop listening and still know the feeling and lyrics of the entire song 

  • Most beautiful lyrics video ever. For sure. <3

  • brasil

  • Notice the US-Mexican border is the last one to go.

  • this is the 8th time I have listened to this song!

  • Borders doesn´t exist, we are all brothers, human family.

  • Here I am at my computer, trying to dodge all of the borders on the screen like they're going to hit me in the face

  • serj is the best song writter of all times

    

  • This video is more powerful than a fighting scene. Unbelievable!

  • I can see my country from here

  • serj tankian jest najlepszym wokalistą na świecie a ten teledysk to nie podważalny dowud

  • i'm disappointed cuz of map at beginning

  • ...and then there was only Madagascar left...

  • Comment removed

  • Yes Serj!

  • blame the nationality for putting our border

  • Anyone else notice the U.S-Mexico border was last to go? Coincidence perhaps?

  • "Fear Divides Nations"

    Reference to the Halocaust and how the Jews where too afraid to stand together against Hitler, That fear divided them.

  • I like it how the boarder between the US and Mexico is the last one to go, lol

  • @acustic I like how i knew that someone was going to make that comment.

  • Comment removed

  • Perfect no words!

  • It's funny how the border between the US and Mexico is the last one in disappearing.

  • @ferclavel Thats hilarious XD

  • There are many things in this world that make me sad to be a human being. Hunger, poverty, death, disease while in contrast we have luxury, wealth, etc... No one cares, no one does anything about it. Another thing that makes me sad is that music like this, good and that carries a message, goes barely noticed, while songs about "Girls running the world" (Who the hell cares?!), and stuff like that are on the spotlight... Ah well... So long as we have Serj, we have someone to remind us of this.

  • Let me go, you bastard! :(

  • @kodkodvodka You do realize that you're moron right?

  • Serj is so right!I was just thinking about this,see any map of earth,there are so many towns,countries,regions,border­s and just sooooo many names,why can't it just be one and only planet Earth?And is there actually a place that isn't taken on this planet?If there is,then i hope that that place never won't be discovered.

  • @DimaBorisov1 uhhhh Antarctica?

  • @tripledg4527 It would be taken if we wouldn't be so much of pussy's and dare to make it a country and live there (yes i know that eskimos live there but only them)but antarctica still has a name,but yea,you're kinda right.

  • is you ask me this guy is so op.

  • I went back to the begginning of the video to see if that whole green piece was actually just Russia. IT WAS.

  • @jorganbon Oh that's right, many americans don't have maps.

  • @DisturbedAidan2 Nah dude they just never taught us world geography in public school. That's a serious problem. All we ever learned was "America this and that". We rarely talk about the other places othe world. Dont get me wrong, these guys are important, but all we EVER talk about is "george washington and Texas" over and over again for 12 years of school. SO boring I wish we learned about different things.

  • @jorganbon sometimes its better not to here of other countries problems, research teinamen square- the world is filled with shit like that, its horrible to think what we are capable of doing when we have power

  • @xmrsparkx I do know about tiennaman square. But i've researched that on my own. And I know horrible shit happens but I want to know. Knowledge is power. We need to learn from mistakes made by different people at different times. Unfortunately, american public schools spend 99% of the time reminding us the glory of colombus, genocidal maniac.

  • @jorganbon That's exactly the US' biggest mistake. You know what I heard is the first thing Swiss children learn? "We are a horrible country and we need to work to become powerful" and that's why they are awesome. The US has been telling its people it's way too good way for too long....

  • @jorganbon Facepalm...

  • countris separates by religion and politics... if we kill politics and every one belive in the power of the humans not in god... then we will have world peace rith? that is trying to say with this video.... see the end of the video all the map is 1 colour and no borders..... that means world peace....

  • @florinlik07 NO!!!!!!!!!!! that's ridiculous, everyone watching these videos are radical morons, the point isn't to abolish the source of discord; the point of this song/video is to promote tolerance and respect, because ultimately you and i are allowed to disagree, but that doesn't mean we cannot coexist.

  • oh ya notice how the mexican border was the last to go in the vid

  • he knows our problems better than that obama bitch i vote for Serj Tankian

  • Serj should rule the world.

  • If only this could possibly work. We aren't perfect and are greedy. Also the fact that we name places and it only makes sense to decide where those places start and end. Pride is the problem. Nationalism is pride. It is the cause of all wars. Pride from too much power. Serj is partly right. Borders are evidence of pride.

  • Hell on earth..

  • it's only me or this song is a critic of many things but mainly about the how good will be if USA and Mexico would have free circulation of people?....and more than this...I think Serj let the last border, Mexico and USA, as a critic, cause illegal immigration is a huge problem....

  • @SrPanqueca1 illegal immigration? founding fathers and white americans were illegal immigrants who stole the lands of natives/amerindians. This immigration can't be illegal, as USA isn't the land of white americans, but the land of natives. Or "USA" belongs to natives (real/legit americans), or everyone has the right to go there without control and no borders, these are the only two legitimate options as USA isn't a real country, but a ancient colony whose inhabitants were slaughtered.

  • @Volsem for being honest, i really don't know about USA history...if this really happens, free circulation of people could be way to extinguish a lot of problems..

  • System of a down > Serj Tankian > Scars on broadway ^^

  • Does anyone know what he's saying in the background?

  • @freerunAR His backing vocals almost always use the same words as lead vocals, just in different rhythms.

  • this man is a genius

  • @Ljubisa87 jos kad to kaze neko nas hha :) \m/

  • @Ljubisa87 and no vevo shit to take him away from us (Serj Tankian)

  • @Ljubisa87 I agree ^_^

  • @Ljubisa87 Jadi, pa ja nisam ni vidjeo tvoj username... k'o bi rekao da u ovoj supi ima jos neko ko slusa Serj-a...

  • Thumbs up who is of the world

  • ahora es todo argentina.. jej

  • Because borders are too mainstream

  • the last one had to be the US breaking boarders with mexico? i dont know what to say...

  • Coming from the UK I think the US and Mexico border should be before the Uk and Republic Of Ireland. Great song though!

  • Thumbs up if u want me to stop asking for thumbs up

  • kommataraaa !!

  • 2:22 hungary !!

  • Greece should be at the end of that video :P

    Unfortunatelly we have blood-painted relationships with Turkey...

    (I also believe that the arguement between UK and Ireland is greater than US-Mexico :P )

    I LOVE THE SONG AND THE MEANING

  • I never realized Alaska hated Canada so much.

  • Awesome song. Hoping people can realize the meaning of this song. Borders only create more segragation and more fear of the unknown. Plus, they are subjective. Orbit Earth, see for yourself. They are a useless remnant from an archaic time when we couldn't even tell where the water in the sky that fell on us came from! Nationalism/Capitalism is a parasite on our planets jugular. And what do we do with parasites? We sure as hell don't let them go on feeding off of us, now do we?

  • People don't understand this video. It's not just about Geographical borders but the borders in our heart aswell, Serj is saying why do we need any kind of borders

  • @MultiSnakeman Didnt think of that. I have more of a politically oriented mind :D

  • Divide and conquer thats the "their" slogan!

  • well at least the mexican border hold out last :/ but still the whole world got overrunned

  • im from malta. would appreciate if malta was actually visible in the map. ...

  • can someone tell me why we need someone to rule us?

    the laws I understand, the rights and duties I understand, now giving power to a bunch of people we don't even know, who only tell lies and make promises they don't intend to keep, that I don't know.

  • Wait. I think we got rick rolled in the beginning.

    Never let you go.

    Never give you up.

    0_o

  • I don't get this vid. Can someone please explain..

  • @koolOVERkill you are dumb

  • Then again, the border between Canada and Alaska was lifted quite some time after the boarder between it and the 48 states. I've a sense this is mostly random. Surely Israel's borders are far harsher than the US/Mexico border.

  • because USA sucks

  • why USA Last ?

  • @brenolorran1 Ask George Bush.

  • @ImmoralFlame68785675 obamas 10xs the facist he was, there all fucking evil, DOWN WITH THE NWO.

  • @codywright99 Doesn't matter, humanity shall fall anyway.

  • @brenolorran1 i think its about the world being united but americas ignrance makes us feel so "unwanted" by the world

  • serj mustve facepalm'd himself when sudan split

  • He should have left the border on North Korea. I don't think there is alot of hope for them :(

  • @MultiSnakeman man if you lose hope you lose the reason live

  • @Caio10351 I have lost hope, but i stil have a reason to live and that is my dauchter

  • @Dude32123456 do you believe that you daughter gonna be a good woman one day?

  • Comment removed

  • we miss SOAD

  • @mohamadODz

    they're back idiot !!!!

  • thankyou for this,i listened to this alot when my dear cat,miles died,RIP.miles 2007 2010

  • I love his solo, I love SoaD, SoaD are more heavy and something i can headbang to, whereas solo he has a certain beauty to his mussic, a certain finesse, which calms me down...this is why i love Serj Tankian

  • @fangopango System is better .-.

    system is the ''rock in roll'' style and riffs from daron perfectly combined with serj's ''classical'' and ''musical'' style. And more, it has an very good drummer and a fucking AWESOME bassist

  • @GaidonxP thats what you think, i respect your opinion, and i hope you understand that i think theyre both aamazing and i could choose between them if asked

  • People stop talking about borders, this song is about how bad is that subject. We are the future, stop blaming nations, razes, and politicians. Forget about history and start over again with a new evolved mind set.

  • Japan and Australia are still in borders, well known for its high racial prejudicy.

  • @mitsubachi87 Only land-based borders are going away. Cant do anything about the islands, such as Japan, Australia, England...

  • @mitsubachi87 None of them still have borders at the end

  • I enjoy how england isn't changed at all.

  • The whole world became Russia? (in the top 2 comments)

    I wonder how Serj would would feel if the whole world becomes Turkey--or if Armenians lost autonomy & had to abide by a democracy where the world's majority supported Turkish pogroms? ;-| ("Tyranny of the Majority" is a sad fact of life.)

    @McMonoMan sure, England isn't changed...but UK is: without borders, UK no longer has N.Ireland, and without independent governments, Commonwealth would probably lose its cultural bonds...

  • The last....... MÉXICO.... Mi méxico querido .... gracias System of a Down... Serj... you are the better......

  • haha i had to repeat the part where the American-Mexican border was lifted. ahh if only we could fix the world with a song... <3

    thanks Serj

  • @JukeBoxMoonlightSin *wouldnt it be great to hear the world, with only a song

  • @JukeBoxMoonlightSin

    Mexico even today STILL treats full-blood natives worse than USA; the Spanish fathers of Mexicacas stole land, not only gringos stole land, and now most Mexicacas follow their fathers' (Euro) ways -- not any native culture.

    "Aztlan" dreamers are a joke b/c tribes in TX-to-CA were NOT Aztecan. Similarly, Panama-to-Guate = non-Aztec tribes...yet Mexicacas as COLONIALIST as USA resisted us [CentAm]breaking away from Mexi self-serving power: history repeats.

  • @ThalamusMinimus Your comment is too true it hurts. I am part mexican and my family are proud that we have native blood but then they go ahead and renounce the teachings of that side of the family.

  • @ThalamusMinimus

    damn i wont pretend to understand what you just said! hah

    my only argument, is that the US is always contradicting itself.

    I Love the US, i am a Mexican American, and the US is my home BUT some things need to change.

  • This is better then history and geo class lol. Mind blown

  • Mexican-USA border is the last :D

  • on the one hand we are all one so a one world government seems like the best approach, on the other hand that gives government WAY too much power and control over the population.

  • put that in 3d it would be sooo epic

  • ''As the water rises we're merely covering our feet'' and then the border from portugal-spain lift's. Bravo Serj, you nailed us.

  • what a stange thong the mexico-e.e.u.u line was the last one¬¬

  • Unity is an UTOPIA, deal with it. European Unions shows, that union of too many countries economically and historically different form each other is a wrong idea.

    Please, leav nations alone. We want to leave in our fatherlands, we want to get better thank ourselvs, and not thank donations or etc.

  • so,the whole world became Russia?

  • @KimBobTraktor do you miss the whole point of the song?

  • @KimBobTraktor

    И чё?

  • @KimBobTraktor no... whole world became Portugal xP

  • ironically the U.S. border with Mexico was the last ending

    irónicamente la frontera de estados unidos con México fue la ultima el terminar

  • Anyone else notice how much longer Alaska's border lasts than the main Canadian-US border?

  • Many people don't understand the meaning of this video. The borders start dissapearing starting with those that are more friendly, and ending with some of the harshest borders in the world.

  • @DylanSmith1997 State the obvious.

  • @DylanSmith1997 I don't think you understand the video, since that is not the case. The border India-Pakistan, for example, is disappearing as one of the first, but you can't say that this is a very friendly border... Nice try tho.

  • @DylanSmith1997 I'd hardly call the Pakistan-India border friendly. But thanks for explaining that. I'd never really paid that much attention to the video

  • @weebleking70 Yeah but that was far from the first, dont you agree?

  • @DylanSmith1997 I wasn't surprised that the border between America and Mexico was last..

  • @DylanSmith1997 Really? I dont think so. unless you prove it, Im not buying it. There are several worse borders. Let's start with Korean. After, the Middle Eastern ones.

    Then, some of the African ones.

    I dont think there is a strict pattern here. Maybe the first ones and last ones may have some reason, but All?

  • @DylanSmith1997 Are you fucking kidding me?! I don`t see how are the borders between USA and Canada, Russia and Kazahstan more friendly? USA and Canada hate each others guts and Kazahstan and Russia... Well, Russia wants SSSR again!
