You can tell serj has really well educated himself.
Great lyrics. I just wish they made sense. I'm sure to serj they do.
Nah
Years later and I still get chills from the "you killed my family" line. I love Serj's voice and brilliant songs
Me too
When my son was 7 years old he rockout to this song...Knew every word...Kick ass song...
Oh, now he is 16, still rocks out to it...
Chris Spicer I loved this song when I was little and I just remembered it so I had to play it a few times
Nh
You raised your kid right!💜
Right now I'm listening to it per my 8 year olds request 🤘🏼here's to the next generation of badass kids
i feel like this is one of those math problems you got in school that you thought you'd never come across lol
It's been over 8 years since this song came out and the lyrics still speak volumes of truth today.
Well duh. Truth doesn't fade with time only our memories do
Because nothing has changed.
12 and and the part he talks about the "bodies burning" makes even more sense with italy and coronavirus
It’s been 13 years and it’s still relevant

I love how much the chorus just flows, despite its speed and use of moderately longer words.
The original video is disabled in 'my country'. Thumbs up for this one.
Thumbs up for quotations around 'my country'....borders are...
vinkuu where you from
Racist right?( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Turkey? I think they dislike him the most.
@@story_of_the_year_fan nope
this man a lyrical genius
I didn't quite get the lyrics, and then suddenly it hit me... and I cried.
Beautiful song
Serj sends such great messages in his lyrics even if they appear to be depressing.. He tells the truth and as fans we are left in awe because he is a singing activist haha. If you like Serj you HAVE to see SOAD in concert!! He's such a great entertainer.
Even though his lyrics are sometimes words, salad, and making no sense.
@@TheUnseenPath such as?
Best Artist in the Century
Serj Tankian's voice is the most beautiful for me. His voice brings out another presence in my soul.
Voice of a god.
He is a god
It blows my mind
SO TRUE
Serj Tankian may end up being one of the few artists who got better after leaving their main band. Love this song.
Brings back high school memories
Oh, go read your Harper's
Joel Domenichini Dismissive apprehension...
Pretentious attention...
Marc Anthony Ramos Dont waste your time....
BrotherMouzone brings back 1st-2nd grade memories when my two cousins showed me the music video.
My sophomore history teacher showed my class this song cause he heard me play it out loud and found the music video and made us write what this song was about. Almost 90% had not a damn clue
Enlighten us wise one
yeah, enlighten us
War in Afghanistan after the twin towers fell
2022 anyone?
2023
This video is intoxicating i tell you. I have watched more than 10 times today. Good job serj
don't argue over the lyrics, think about them. when you realize what they all mean, its really amazing the way serj delivers the meaning of it all.
Even if u forget the lyrics, forget Serj , This Musical composition is f'kin epic
yep
Shashank Naidu not his official channel
Shashank Naidu it is
And when you forget that, you get a f'kin epic string of comments commenting on an awesome video with no audio.
Yup
Your empty walls...
Your empty walls...
Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls
Those empty walls
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be
Left behind those empty walls
I taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls
I loved you
Yesterday, before
You killed my family.
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be, left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those goddamn walls
Those walls...
Those walls...
did you really... omg
well... it's kinda useless to post the lyrics on a lyrics video. don't you think?
not particularly. Some people like to read before and after a point ;)
thanks for this useless comment
Ryan Resendez I find this comment super useful. Maybe if the lyrics weren't so damn fast on the screen and one word at a time I wouldn't need this
We love you Serj Tankian! Keep up the beautiful work!
Love this song!!Serj is one of the best musicians I've ever heard!
Not even system of a down wrote anything as epic powerful and haunting as this song
A masterpiece.
this song is like a drug to me i cant stop listing to it
One of the Most meaningful songs, Serj is Genius
Serj you always amaze me with the music you make.
April 7,2021 still amazing after all this time.
I love hearing these songs with real meaning
This is a song that makes my almost cry. It explains how and why our world is depleting its self from the inside out. Serj is a prophet sent from god!
This song will always be top tier
never thought Harry would ever listen Serj Tankian! THIS IS BEYOND AWSOME
His voice is just marvelous
First heard this song when I was 6 years old, 13 years old and still one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
Serj gives you insight to concepts that totally blows your mind !!!
whew!!!!!!!!!! what a song!!!! Vibrant, Powerful, I love your Energy Serj
Thanks to Serj to help me let go of the hate and misery I felt because of.......😢❤
Wow. Fitting for the time. “Don’t you see your killing my family”.
Serj Te Aprecio mucho, tu musica me hace sacar un poco el vacio que tengo dentro mio, como SOAD gracias, por meditar y escribir maravillosas frases, saludos desde Argentina
i think its great that when serj tankian makes lyrics videos he always finds a more interesting way of writing the lyrics tlrather than just writing them strait across
"confines of our minds" correct you
Ryan Olson thank you for pointing that out
Ryan Olson You literally The Guy who wrote The damn lyrics. I bet youre The one whose wrong
Johnny Revenue fucking auto correct
Confines of our MIND
whoever had something to do with my daughter's death, learning to Love teaches us hate leaves us behind those empty walls but forgiveness can set you on the path of freedom
I believe this is the best song you did. i love the words in your music
7 years without listning, the last time i thave listen it was 2010 when i was 10 year old.
The first time I listened to this song was back in 2007, when I was 20. I still listen to it today. Ah, the memories!
Time is fast right?
Played this song at my friend's house, she has a kickin' stereo system. You could hear the song from outside. It freakin' shook the walls! (empty walls, that is!)
Serj my hero this song is so deep and smart
One of the best lyric videos I've seen, good job
I love his voice!!❤
This voice is amazing 👏
Years pass and these guys still rock especially Serj and this song. Started listening when I heard a couple songs on my ps2 games years ago (like 12 years ago), and ever since then I've been a huge fan of the music. It talks about the truth (some funny nonsense like "cigaro" and all that) while adding a sick instrumental
Sick as usual serj and even tho this is years old, I hope you are still rockin out.
This music inspires me so much it really helps thank you serj
Perfection
god damn :') thats one of the best songs i ever heard in my life
coffins of our minds? wtf?
from the confines of our minds.
+babyfacefister Lel. Same here
+babyfacefister People depressed, suffered.
+babyfacefister giving vent to grief.
This is Serj's channel so I doubt he got the lyrics wrong.
+Brandon Singleton This is a fan submitted video.

One of my favorites 🖤💜
Serj i got so much respect to you, you are a genius!
masterpiece
sweet, this was uploaded on my birthday
thank you from italy
This song will always be a pleasure to hear
who else is here a decade later loving thissong still
Lyrics are dope regardless what they mean. I think the lyrics could mean a lot of things after Serj’s true intent. That’s what makes him an artist.
Do you know why his voice is so beautiful because it's his soul speaking the heartache and pain caused by senseless mistreating of humanity and he is trying to allow others to see his vision for peace it's time to pave the path for peace and harmony ❤❤
SERJ is a Musical Genius!!!
MASTERPIECE!!!!!
what we all think:" as long nobody hurts my family ..its all OK!"
WAKE THE FUCK UP WORLD!!!
to all the people who died for us
amazing song
RESPECT FROM GREECE
RIP to the innocent people that died during 9/11 and all the other tragedies that terrorism and war brings❤️💐
Federico Pereyra no u
The simple lesson that needs to be learned here, is: "Don't fuck with America.".
Because we're fucking crazy. 😂
Donald Trump Empty Walls
It was all the us government, they used it as a fear tactic so that the civilians would put more faith into the government and so that there was more men who would be willing to recruit for the army
@@theedmtrap1700 No more political debating on my Minecraft Server plz
And this is Serj's official channel! :O I had never paid attention to the lyrics up to this point, but, brah... That's curious.
This really takes me back 🤘🏼😁
Awesome song!
Awesome singer!
I love this song, but I'm tired of seeing people in the comments trying to pretend like they have such a deep understanding and connection to the lyrics. No, you don't! Even if you did, nobody cares!
You deserve a like my friend
Thank you ^_^
Pretentious attention.
how do you know that these people "don't" have a connection to the lyrics? who the hell are you to tell them they don't! im also pretty sure they don't care if some dumbass with a fucking cat picture tells them "nobody cares". its youtube, people are going to talk about the video. fucking deal with it.
hamster hubert
... He's a fox.
... Anyway, I'm referring to the people trying to pull some deep personal meaning out of it, cause they act like the world revolves around them and every good song must, in some way, be speaking to them. Yes, most of the people that claim to see the deep meaning in it, are like that. Not all, but most. I know this because I was once like that too.
233 people didn't see from behind those empty walls
serj is doing his solo version of SOAD, and it's a really good damn job
Love this
I love the whole song.
remember that time we invaded another country to fight terrorists that weren't there
and then terrorists took control of half of it
pretty funny huh
good ol' Dubya :D
They were there but alright, kiddo.
@@sdivine13 No, the bio weapons were nowhere to be found, cause they didnt exist. The guy that made this statement said a few years ago in front of a cameras, that he lied to get rid of the government...
Yeah American soilders having to leave their families and watch their friends get killed by a cowardice country full of pieces of shit that send children into battle to die. Yeah real fuckin funny prick!
@@matthewcorrigan8730 The American Democrats Government sending Sons and Daughters to Destabilize non First World Countries, to kill innocent Black and Brown Skinned People just to come back to the U.S only to be treated LIKE TRASH by the very same politicians that sent them and their friends to get blown up in deserts by terrorist groups proven to be funded, armed and trained by Democratic Party controlled C.I.A.
This song is... Heavy..
I'm 23 now and this song really doesn't sit right with me, it is a whole lot of truth in such a short amount of time. Have to say, out of every song he has sang, it is my favorite or close to.
Yeah... I can't here after listening to BYOB and crying because of how broken this world is. Then I watched the music video of Empty Walls and cried again.
Well i kinda lost it negative way when he said "you killed my family". The song escalated quickly from that moment
Love this song!!!
Can't stop listen to this song!!
This song always reminded me of the Holocaust. It still does to this day, I think it makes sense lol.
Well I never knew the meaning of it. Wasn't for sure if that what it was about or not. It may be. It does make me curious though. I think I read something about it being about war though. Have to recheck which one since its been a while.
Oh alrighty then lol. Thanks.
Being Armenian myself, and knowing Serj is also a fellow Armenian, I would guess it is actually about the Armenian Genocide, but you can also be right maybe.
Melissa Smith The music video for this song actually shows somewhat of 9/11 and maybe the iraq war
watch the video. it's clearly about the twin towers being hit and the war, not the holocaust. notice the fucking plane that hits the block towers? DEEERRRP!
Lowkey thought it was SOAD when I first heard them in the radio. :S
k
practicly the same dude.
+practiceyourart Serj is from System of a Down
+LeHuit おちんちん (Caelum) No shit lol
they are the same. Serj is their lead singer.
Masterpiece..
I learned about this song back in 2009 when i was 6 years old and i loved it...
Almost 11 years later so much has changed but my love for this didn't change and if it did it just became more
Wow, I finally get the meaning behind this song. At least I gathered my own meaning and how it applies to my life. Incredible song, almost all of his songs (and SOADs) give me chills.
serj tankian the pro empty walls
Nice work serj...u are the heart and soul of system and a talent in your own right. Keep it up brother
this is beautiful
could you stop commenting about comments/likes and face the fact that we all want to make sweet love with serj's voice
You...you, sir. You understand.
His voice is so sexy, I know. Something about his Armenian accent is just melodic. Even if you took away the instruments, Serj still sounds soothing. I actually fell asleep to SOAD the other night with maximum volume on my headphones.
You also commenting about comment, Sir.
@@amrfwws4461 Sirius XM Turbo.
