Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Body experience
The other day
Her name was Jesus
And for her everyone cried
Everyone cried
Everyone cried
Try her philosophy
Try her philosophy, try
You die for her philosophy
Die for her philosophy
Die her philosophy die
Crossed and terrored
Ravages of architecture
Lend me thy blades
We're crossed and terrored
Ravages of architecture
Hoist around the spade
Try her philosophy
Try her philosophy
Try her philosophy, try
You die for her philosophy
Die for her philosophy
Die her philosophy die
Die, die, die, why
Lie naked on the floor
And let the messiah
Go through our souls
Lie naked on the floor
And let the messiah
Go all through our souls
Die, like a motherfucker
Die, like a motherfucker
Die, like a motherfucker
Why, like a motherfucker
I want to fuck
My way to the garden
Cause everyone needs
A motherfucker
Try her philosophy
Try her philosophy
Try her philosophy, try
You die for her philosophy
Die for her philosophy
Die her philosphy die
The following of a Christ [Repeat: x4]
The falling of Christ [Repeat: x4]
The lyrics of "Suite-Pee" by System of a Down dive deep into a surreal experience that the songwriter had. The song opens with the line "Had an out of body experience the other day, her name was Jesus and for her everyone cried." The writer is essentially in a trance-like state, feeling as though they have left their body and experienced something that they cannot fully understand. The vision of Jesus is not made clear in the lyrics, but the impact is felt by everyone who witnessed it, leading to tears.
The rest of the song then shifts to a more violent tone, referencing "crossed and terrored ravages of architecture." The lyrics suggest a struggle, with the line "Lend me thy blades, we're crossed and terrored." The songwriter is calling out to someone or something, asking for help in their fight against some unknown force or obstacle. There is a plea for understanding as the chorus declares "Try her philosophy," suggesting that there may be some sort of solution or way of thinking that can help.
The final lines of the song are repeated several times, with a deliberate tone of aggression. The line "Die like a motherfucker" seems to be directed both inward and outward, as the songwriter grapples with their pain and frustration. The theme of Christianity is also present, with references to the Christ and the falling of Christ. The overall feeling of the song is one of confusion and struggle, as the writer attempts to process a powerful experience.
