![]() Any questions Christ left unanswered, some people answered themselves by taking the keys and opening the door to Christianity, the religion that worships Christ. Using these keys would be giving access to have people distort the story by interpretation. The keys would belong to anyone who wanted to simply take them off of the table, and the fact that it's plural means there is more than one person that will use these keys. I think the keys thing probably has to do with the fact that there were some things Christ left for others to answer before he died, hence the keys. I do not agree with SOAD's beliefs if I am correct in this analysis, but this could be what the song is talking about. I seems very New Age ("Life is a waterfall, we're one in the river and one again after the fall." It seems to be saying everyone was once One and will be One again after these lives on earth or something). And I like JofaGuht's idea about the makeup, but it could be used to cover up the other religions rather than hidden stories from the Bible. It's like they are saying the pieces to the truth are there, but all one needs to do is pick up the keys and unlock the truth. Also, on the Toxicity cd booklet Daron Malakian thanks "God, Buddha, Allah and Lucifer because they are all so lovely." and Serj thank "The Great Spirit for vision." The song seems to be saying that Christ's sacrifice was self righteous rather than a selfless act for the people he loves as the Bible describes. Since they might believe all religions are pieces to one true religion, an explanation of them sounding as if they are Christian to some is because they believe in some Christian values (like murdering is wrong) but do not hold true to every Christian belief. A huge part of cosmic humanism is that everyone is god or holy and in the end of this world everyone will be united into one god. They seem to believe everyone is one and all religions are pieces to their believed one true religion. SOAD does not seem Christian, they seem to be new age (or cosmic humanists).

While the song would eventually receive a gold certification status from the Recording Industry Association, the song’s initial charting success was cut short. The title stands out and is not mentioned at all in the lyrics, but the strange choice is believed to have helped the song’s success. While seemingly random, the group chose the title to describe their musical style: lots of stuff thrown together. The title of the song is named after a Chinese stew made with meat or fish, plus bamboo sprouts, onions, rice, and water chestnuts. “Like, if I were to die from a drug overdose, everyone would say I deserved it because I abused drugs, hence the line Angels deserve to die.” So… What exactly is chop suey? The meaning behind the song title. “The song is about how when people die, they will be regarded differently depending on the way they pass,” said Malakian. Malakian said that people judge others for how they pass, especially if due to any drug-related issues. Let’s make them believe we actually did it.’”ĭespite the assumptions, the song was intended to make a comment on the ways that people die. “ ‘Self-righteous suicide’, ‘Aerials in the sky’, Jet Pilot.’ I was, like, ‘Wow, that’s cool they think that. “Our fans were starting to say, ‘Hey, these guys are prophets, they’re saying things that hadn’t happened yet,’” says Malakian. Frontman Serg Tankian’s energy on the verses comes out in righteous anger before slowing down to the half-time lines that would ignite the controversy. The song begins with an iconic, driving chord progression before the rapid-fire chaos of the verses unfolds. As bold a move as it was to release this as a single, it solidified the group’s breakout hit. “Chop Suey!” comes from the band’s second album, Toxicity. I just started playing that acoustic guitar, and that’s when I started writing Chop Suey!” The Controversy “There was an acoustic guitar I used to take around with me. ![]() “I was just hanging out by myself on a bed at the back,” said Malakian.
