I've been to Hiroshima, it was very powerful for an American (for anybody I imagine)

[Kemdoggify]

[trollfaceable]

I love this part 0:16

[fivefinger100]

reminds me of MTH

[metalrocker1ful]

@fivefinger100 yup both bands are awesome but in my opinoin Soad is better

[uberd0rk1337]

what does this song mean? i must know cuz i love the band so much that i want to ask the opinion of youtubers?!!! just kidding i don't give a fuck rock it w/o meaning.

\m/

[SufferingInsomnia]

@uberd0rk1337 Suicide airplane bombers... or something... someone on SOADCD's vid explained it I think

[CaptainSkullCat]

I always used to think it said 'bee' instead of 'bay'.

Flying over a great BEE!

[Bboypsycho93]

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot

[darcyfrod]

Like in the words of Tenacious D "You Cant Kill The Metal, Metal will Live On"

[FlyingUZi]

@darcyfrod There is no Tenacious D! This is System Of A Down!

[darcyfrod]

@FlyingUZi I know Im just saying That even tho these pop fags like justin are buying into the music industry we still have soad that keep music alive. (im just a fan of The D)

[fdidinho]

they should come back are the best band in the world

please SOAD COME BACK PLEASE.

i miss you

all the world miss you

MY SOURCE ITS THE SOURCE OF ALL CREATION!

[Lucarilover240]

At one point in the song, he says "My source is the source of all creation". You know what that means, right?

It means that Serj is GOD.

[crazytrain58]

@Lucarilover240 lol I don't know if you are serious or not

[tinykingoflegos]

@crazytrain58 OH HE IS OH HE DEFINYLY IS

[sirpwnster]

The a bomb is splitting atoms, it's nuclar fusion. Not the h bomb

[911650]

@sirpwnster if an atom is split it is fission, not fusion. The sun is fusion, bomb fission

[silvertongueddevil36]

william s. burrows is written all over this song,and this band.learn and expand your reality.

[rustybucket3]

im reading all these coments saying that this song is about ww2 and i disagree. i think its about a war that has yet to take place. i have a feeling that it is about ww3. it talks about a shackled old man whose regret was that he couldnt see a blue sky so i think that the jet pilot may have droped H-bombs and turned the sky a permenent grey. if you want a good book on a similar event you should read THE ROAD. its a good book on the aftereffects of ww3

[rustybucket3]

i listened to it again and found more relating it to ww3. the part about his sourse being the sourse of creation to me represents the life giving energy of nuclear fusion which is the source of the H-bomb. the part about the woman's (nature) discourse being that we dont observe the sky and the beauties of the Earth until it is destroyed by fire such as the forest. the part about the sourse (H-bomb) and remorse(that we dont observe the blue sky) are flying over the bay(atlantic ocean to america)

[Morbius2271]

the source of the H-Bomb is nuclear FISSION, aka DESTROYING an atom. We cannot figure out how to produce fusion at this point, but we see it in our sun.

[rustybucket3]

@Morbius2271 i was taught that the A-bomb used fission and that the H-bomb used hydrogen fusion and yes we can produce fusion but only for a few miliseconds in an H-bomb explosion

[bongfodder]

why do you demand a war with no precedent?

[citizenflek]

@rustybucket3 sad and scary look at the future the road was

[xRayzzeRzEdgEx1]

my horse is a SHACKLED old man his , his remorse was that he couldnt survey the skies right before , right before they went grey my horse and my remorse flying over a great bay

[dan4223]

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot

One that smiled when he flew over the bay

[gageima]

I know someone who fell asleep with her iPod in her ears and then this blasted in her ears, full volume... She said she went deaf in one ear, lol.

[ErikForSOAD]

@gageima it sound like a fairytale the way u say it :D

[bmassa4]

@gageima I've been a fan of soad since I was eleven, I havent really comprehended the lyrics until now... please don't hate on others for not having such an abstract interpretation of the song.

[gageima]

@bmassa4 I didn't mean it like that, I was saying it was loud man. Didn't mean to sound like I was saying shit about SOAD because I'm not sorry.

[TheJimcat]

@gageima supprised she dident have a hart attack

[SashaNikolai]

To: Mctriggerfinger and shatteredcl0ud. This is a song about war. Every member of System Of A Down is Armenian and their families were all refugees from the Armenian Genoicide. They are very public anti-war activists. Some of their songs such as Temper show this. Also other songs include PLUCK, Attack, Boom, and Tentative show this. And there are plenty more. So yes, not all of their songs are about war, but their band name and majority of their songs revolve around their anti-war beliefs.

[SashaNikolai]

No, the meaning of the song is about technology and war. "Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot." It's talking about war and the overtaking of humanity and war by machines and technology. Any System Of A Down fan would know that the name of their band is the meaning and symbolism behind the uprising of machines and human apocalypse. Horse is referring to the jet and the "horse's eyes" are wired through the jet pilot. Hence, technology and mankind.

[Mctriggerfinger]

actualy there name is to be insued as who ever reads it wishes and as for the song well thats up to you

[shatteredcl0ud]

Everyone has their own interpretation.

The words may be determined in several different ways, and they speak of many other things other than just war. UFO's include the government.

[NanenMauricio]

@SashaNikolai

System of a down ,a great name for a band, also a great name of a band is rage against the machine

[Maxiethe1]

@SashaNikolai wow , i wonder why it said that , i thought it was just meaningless lyrics , the song b.y.o.b does that stand for bring you own bombs??

[TheAchterhook]

@Maxiethe1 yes it does ;)

[Maxiethe1]

@TheAchterhook cool

:D

[gruntage95]

@SashaNikolai dude, you have no clue. dont go saying fake crap about system u dont know, this has nothing to do with technology taking over mankind, system of a downs name was originally gunna be "Victems of a down" because of a poem that daron made, the name was changed to System of a Down. No offence bro, but make sure you 've learned correctly before trying to teach.

[plane317]

@SashaNikolai everyone is right serj and daron and john and shavo want you to take what you want from their songs they want you to say what it means to you no one is wrong in sayign what it means rly if you think about it

[DarkCloudTashi]

Pearl Harbor.

[underagedpickle]

no jets during ww2

[acuraboy101]

wrong. look up the ME 262, ME 163

[acuraboy101]

and the lockeheed P 80

[rustybucket3]

acura boy is right there was the me262 im not sure about the 163 though

[TheArchangel54321]

@DarkCloudTashi  no 911

[DarkCloudTashi]

@TheArchangel54321 Ah actually that's impossible because they wrote the song before 9-11 happened. Sorry

[Tremayn24]

i agree wit what l49pizzasondewal said but i gotta admit those other guys are deep... how much weed did you smoke to understand it at that lvl? lol

[Skillz0r7]

You have the lyrics on the "more info" thing

[payton9696]

are they saying Horse on a jet piolt

[l49pizzasondewal]

i dont try to understand what the words mean i just think it sounds cool.

[masonmohr]

the old aytem songs were way better

[biogopher]

i dunno Jaistilin seems a bit of a stretch it does sound like pearl harbor from the eyes of an old man wishing he saw the attack coming before it happened. wired were the eyes of the horse ona jet piolet, sounds like an anxious person in a jet "smiled when eh flew over the great bay" he knew they had no idea what was about to hit em sounds like a viable interpretaion

[Tankian96]

I S.O.A.D. sono il mio gruppo preferito !!!!!

[Jaistilin]

Um it's fairly obvious what he means. A child is rather high. It believes that the old man carrying it on his shoulders is a horse. [fairly believable to a child anyways] And the old man and he watches and smiles as jets fly over. They're at an air show of course. The old man and 'she' in the fourth verse are hippies. They're both sad that the planes are polluting the skies and turning them grey.

[MetalSaga16]

Thats ridiculous

[Murdis555]

win

[TheElitePwnager]

rofl

[UberPo0dle]

How the hell did you get thumbs down for that? That actually makes sense...

[Chaos290]

How can it be about pearl harbor? Jet fighters weren't invented until much later in the war...

[ravenomus]

Idk y, but I lol'd so hard when I read your comment xD :)

You just made my night hahaha

[Totalmachine09]

Shut the FUCK UP. WHO ARE TO MAKE SUCH SWEEPING GENERALISATION? Ignorant fuck

[callaghanI4L]

defiantly about pearl harbor

[fredboot]

One word, fanfuckingtastic.

[WESUCKFILMS]

y r the eyes of the hores beholding me in the sky

[AVELONA555]

only the person who wrote the song knows what he was talking about.

[brickwallsoup]

I always thought it ment something about how the horse was something that was old and now is unneeded becuase of newer means of traval.

also I think it sounds good.

[Lerkone91]

You're a dumb ass.... just we have to read your nick, you even don't know if u preffer Slipknot or Metallica so GTFO and don't be stupid... they're musicians, not terrorist... fucking racist, you said it just becouse they're armenian right?

[sandmangaara25]

i thought it was pearl harbor as well but knowing soad it could be talking about sex and we not even know about it

[piterzito]

FANATICOS DE SOAD DE PERU - SE ESTA FORMANDO UN CLUB DE FANS DE SYSTEM OF A DOWN .. agregenme si qieren pertenecer al club de fans piter.zito @ hotmail . com

[fawks311]

My horse

[smarzotais]

:o SOAD IS TERRORISTS AHH NOO

lol bs. it probably doesnt mean anything, some artsists just spew random shit and watch how people react to it... i did that with an essay for english, just said random shit with lots of big words and i get a good grade and the teacher says im a deep thinker...

things dont neccassarily mean nything, anyway that was my point

[1Pretender2]

Dude, my friend says its about Pearl Harbor, not 9/11. He should know since he is a really big fan of SOAD. Good thoughts though...

[underagedpickle]

it couldnt have been pearl harbor the japs didnt use jets

[SystemOfaMarius]

i luv every system of a down song ever maid

[underagedpickle]

before you say that listen to old school holly wood

by soad

[SystemOfaMarius]

i like that aswell... its groovie

[airis200]

this is awessome song!!!

[Danielminnesota]

Toxicity was released on september 4 2001 Seven days before 911! listen to the lyrics "he flew over a great bay" New York Bay "his remorse was that he could'nt survey the the sky right before they went grey"! With Ash.

[worldofdoom995]

u saying they predicted 9/11 Daniel?

[darmalak93]

yes what daniel says its true many people thought that this was a conspiracy if u look carefully at the lyrics "right before they go grey" that day after what happened sky went grey cause of all the dust and smoke from the buildings collapsed they are other signs too but im bored to point them for you xD sry :P

[Kricketoon]

wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot, 1 that smiled wen he flew over the bay!!!

[Kricketoon]

I luv evry SOAD song on the Toxicity album!!!

[friiiiiiieak]

grey bay

[Kricketoon]

it actully great bay

[magemanne]

angry bear=russian?

[juraseczek]

S.O.A.D. the best!!

[bc31bc31]

[joeshmoe011]

SOAD caused 911

OMG!

lol jk i love soad

[Kezlok67]

second album

[MogManDog]

It's their second Album

[johncena34aldo]

Great song soad !!!

[issodor]

september 3, system of a down release their album toxicity, jet pilot was on that album, that was 8 days before 9/11, so you think they are singin about something that happened after they made the song? i dont think sooo....

[roossiboy]

how the heck do u bring 9/11 into this?

[arcanis17]

SOAD songs are often about global problems and the armenian genocide..

[bonez72392]

jet pilot is about the 9/11 conspiracy

surprising isn't it.

the song was made in 2001, 9/11 was also in that year.

"wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot"

"where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot"

start thinking people you will get it soon enough.

~ Bonez

[grimfang999]

if afraid you were wrong there, unless they were involved, there was no way they would know about it, since the album was released a week earlier. before toxicity SOAD were hardly well known, so they would not know unless they are secretly terrorists, which i seriously doubt, they are not that stupid. it was more likely to be released just before by chance more than anything.

for my source, check wikipedia, it says toxicity was released on the 4th of september

[bc31bc31]

lol c, someone like u nose what there talkin about lol =P

[Blaze275]

Dude I can kind of see where you are coming from with the conspiracy theories but srsly have some respect. Don't bring that crap here

[jerhinus]

This song is 1 of the best:D Some ppl say theyr songs suck or they have no meaning.. But they actualy talk about the bad things that happen to our planet

[BUDOKAI1]

They talk about global problems but like not alot of people understand the meaning of the songs

[sweetpotatoefish]

people who say that know anything

[KGproductions007]

I really love this song.

@EmoHTFan wat the hell is tthat

[kikipedra]

@EmoHTFan :D xD crazy MTF xD

[ErikForSOAD]

@EmoHTFan and what is this?

[666evo666]

anti political, PRO political, what ever term u wanna fuckin use, go fuck your self and get a teaching job if peoples minor mistakes bother you so much,,,,,,,,,, fuck why are there so many OCD people online always quik to correct some one else miss types or in some cases whole phrases, but yea thanks for the fucking UPDATE

[dhizzylawl]

omfg thank you so much you are so right.... people correct every freaking tiny mistake even if its already been corrected several times

[noobsterxD]

theyre a angry band.. angry bands makes metal, metal is like.. heavy songs lol.. their songs r all great..

[UgliStiK14]

there is NO best soad song. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE of them is absolutely musically brilliant.

[tarheels92]

AGREED. ALL of their songs have such a deep meaning. Its unbelievable.

[666evo666]

davehowellman it is anart if you cantruly understand it, most people hear the words but dont understand the true meaning of them.

soad imo 1 of the best anti political bands of al time.. .but at number #1 is ratm there words truly make sense. soads are hidden words for youto fig out

[AndrasRD87]

Soad works with metaphores!

Kick ass music with a message!!!!!

And most people don't even know it.

ratm is kick ass too, soad is better in my eyes.

[Morbius2271]

The use of the phrase "anti-political" is possibly the worst ever to use for Soad. They are PRO-political. Anti-political is an Anarchist, soad speaks of equality and democracy, not anarchy.

[KeinScheissDarkNick]

for each mood there is a best song

[davehowellman]

Why are people in a debate as to which system song is best? I truly believe that all of system's music if absolutely masterful! Every lyric, every sound is just miles better than anything else I've experienced from any other artist. This is art & it is beautiful!

[biggerbinks]

you really get in the mood for the song and then you magicly understand what there saying lol

[GUEMUDA11]

wo wo wo slow down..i cant even catch a word lol

[Brett3505]

This song is about the attack on Pearl Harbor.

They are talking about the Japanese flying over our great bay and us not knowing it till it was too late. "Wired through the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot one that smiled as he flew over our bay"

[Leveretis]

Because horse is slang for heroin and they used to get the suicide bombers wired before they flew so they were all hyped up.

[sk8terboy1213124]

i love this album its the best soad album ever all the songs r awsome5*

[powernaudio]

this song makes me think of when they drop the big bomb on Hiroshima, Nagasaki or the beginning of the Iraqi war. i could be wrong tho.

[Melonbastani]

wicked song!! what up with the pic?! its kinda boring hehe but wicked

[LongLiveSephiroth]

The pic is there for a reason. I would take the pics of this and all those other videos of mine out and do lyrics, but it would take so long and everyone wants to listen to a certain song. Why would someone want to wait over 2 months just to listen to 5 songs? And yes, it sometimes takes that long or even longer.

[TheRealJustinPettit]

And thank you for posting songs. :)

[GBallaJ]

yeahh i just minimize the iwndow or use it in a tab if im too lazy to use programs to listen to music
