Progressive metal is guitar-driven and often features varying (and sometimes sudden) changes in time signatures. The genre is also known for lending itself to complex and extended guitar solos. Consequently, progressive metal songs can become relatively long.
Progressive metal, itself a subgenre of rock and metal, has many offshoots. Elements of progressive metal can be found in death metal, black metal, avant-garde metal, industrial metal, metalcore, thrash metal, mathcore, power metal, djent and post-metal, among other genres.
Question!
System of a Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you
Are you
Sweet berries ready for two
Ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you
Are you, dreaming
Dreaming the night
Dreaming alright
Do we, do we know
When we fly
When we, when we go
Do we die?
Sweet berries ready for two
Ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you
Are you
Sweet berries ready for two
Ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you
Are you, dreaming
Dreaming the night
Dreaming alright
Do we, do we know
When we fly
When we, when we go
Do we die? Yeah
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Do we, do we know
When we fly
When we, when we go
Do we die?

The song "Question!" by System of a Down is a mysterious track with enigmatic lyrics which can be interpreted in a number of different ways. The song is about life and death, questioning what happens after we die, and whether we are truly alive or just ghosts waiting to pass on to the next realm. The opening line "Sweet berries ready for two", is evocative of the sweetness of life, perhaps suggesting that life is best experienced with a partner, a friend, or a loved one. The line "Ghosts are no different than you" highlights a key theme of the song, that we are all just temporary beings, placeholders waiting for things to happen.
The song also questions the idea of flying and going, and asks whether we truly know what happens after we die. The line "Do we, do we know, when we fly, when we go, do we die?" highlights the theme of mortality, questioning our very existence and whether there is life after death. The simple repetitive melody of the song, coupled with its deceptively simple lyrics, makes it a reflective and introspective track that leaves the listener wondering about life and death.

SOAD is probably the only band who's never made one single bad song. You can put their whole discography in the playlist and never have to skip a track. They're easily the GOAT of the alternative metal scene! ❤
@Tauraaa
Exactly! Not one single song is bad, they are all chaotically perfect
@agustinquindimil6594
