    The song came out right after we moved into Iraq which was based on a lie. There were no weapons of mass destruction. The line from the song "hangers sitting dripped in oil" tells what it was really about. Look up all the lyrics for a better understanding.

      I would disagree with that. History proves otherwise. You just get different people getting put or elected as leaders. Just because a few nations don’t have leaders that will fight, others will. When you only think of superpowers of today, yeah. But when things are a certain way for so long, something will happen to force a change

    To me when they say "everyboydy's going to the party have a real good time, dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine" The party=War.. and they're kinda pointing out the nonchalant attitude toward war and going to war.. I could be way off, but that's what it means to me. :)

    "Everybody going to the party have a real good time...." refers to the troops deployed to the gulf wars/desert. It's mocking how media and government downplayed the seriousness of the situation and dangers troops were facing. "Where the F are you?" is similar mocking of the media spin and recruitment efforts - making citizens feel like they were missing out and feeling guilty for not supporting or joining the war effort.

    Great song, if you haven't reacted to Prison Song you definitely should, Soldier Side is one of my favorite songs by SOAD. I don't think it's ever been on the radio, but it's a really good song also dealing with the horrors of war.

    I can’t lie brother you hit the nail on the coffin with the understanding of the lyrics. But here’s a fun fact you may have missed. Near the end of the video, you see “snow” falling in the desert, that’s not “snow” because it cannot physically snow in a desert, but that’s SOAD ash, leftovers from a nuclear explosion hence soad (system of a down) keep it up though brother 🫡

    LOL, you've just started down the rabbit hole my friend...as someone who was in high school when this album came out, it's almost a time capsule of many young people's reaction to George W. Bush's War on Terror, and SOAD being of Armenian ancestry, they have a long cultural memory of being exploited and killed (Look up the Armenian genocide)...but I think you nailed the feel, the la-la-la's are sarcastic and the chorus is criticizing the mainstream party culture who were not paying attention to what the US (and many allied nations) were doing with their tax money in their name...

  • @scottclark3761
    @scottclark3761 9 місяців тому +23

    Dancin in the desert is the line you missed in the chorus. They're talking about the Gulf War(s). Afghanistan, and such. Hangers dripping oil crying FREEDOM. The media treated the war like a party. But we were sending poor people to die in a foreign war that....maybe we shouldn't have been involved in. Or if it was important, why wasn't the President there fighting? Zelensky had a lot of problems, but when his country was under attack, he was there with his men. He caused some of the issues by trying to kiss Russian arse, but when push came to shove...he was there. More than i can say for a lot of our politicians.

    When he talks about going to the party and having a good time he’s talking about those that think war is golly gee fun (because they’re not the ones having to actually go fight) or those always advocating for war because it’s extremely profitable for contractors and the military industrial complex.
    Blowing up the sunshine is a reference to the US war on Islam and the dropping of bombs in the Middle East which is mostly desert and sunshine

    everyone is going to the party having a good time has a dual meaning. as someone who lived through it when the war in Iraq and Afghanistan started almost the entire country was in favor of it Bush had a 85% popularity at the time. Also the war in the desert having a good time speaks to restarting colonialism that what we really wanted was to lock down these oil resources for our country and our allies. So it was a restart of colonialism. This band grew up as essentially refugees from a war where the US was on the side of totalitarian dictators messing up their tiny country on the border of the middle east and Europe. So they were in a perfect position to know the geopolitics of the area and not be blinded by the patriotic sentiment and anger and grief from 9/11 because they knew what total war actually looked like from their lived experience.

    Once upon a time many of our Presidents where war veterans. They served and defended our nation and then pursued political office later in life with knowledge and life experiences... these days we have the "Career Politian"... these are people who go to school for political science and law degrees and do nothing else in life but hold political office. This trend began with the draft dodgers of the Vietnam War, they avoided going to war by staying in school... usually wealthy kids. There's a simplified explanation of why the poor and not the leaders fight the wars.
