Dreaming
♫♪System of a Down Lyrics

For today we will take the body parts and put them on the wall
Today, we will display and celebrate the different aspects of our humanity, both the beautiful and gruesome

For treated indigenously, digenously Human right is private blue chip, pry
The indigenous people who have been treated poorly throughout history should have the same human rights as everyone else, but unfortunately, human rights have become a commodity controlled by those in power

We're the prophetic generation of bottled water, bottled water Causing poor populations to die, to die, to die (For treated Indigenously, digenously) (Human right is private blue chip, pry)
Our generation's reliance on bottled water is causing poor populations to suffer and die, especially those who have been historically oppressed and whose human rights have been compromised

You, you went beyond and you lost it all Why did you go there From Beyond you saw it all why did you
You pushed yourself too far and suffered the consequences, but why did you feel the need to go to such extremes?

We lost consumer confidence in casual karma, casual karma Confetti, camouflage, camouflage, the flage, the flage (For treated indigenously, digenously) (Human right is private blue chip, pry)
People have lost faith in the idea that good actions will be rewarded with good outcomes, and instead, they see the world as an illusion where those in power wear masks to conceal their true intentions

You, you went beyond and you lost it all Why did you go there From Beyond you saw it all why did you go there
You tried to see beyond the illusions of society, but it cost you everything. Why did you feel the need to push so hard?

She lost her mind Someone kicked her into the back of the line
She became overwhelmed by the pressures of society and was pushed aside by those who followed the status quo

She lost her head When they called and they said that they thought he was dead
She became distraught when she was told he was dead, unable to comprehend or accept the tragedy

Dreaming of screaming Someone kick me out of my mind I hate these thoughts I can't deny
The artist dreams of being freed from the burden of their distressing thoughts and emotions, even though they cannot deny their reality

We're the prophetic generation of bottled water, bottled water Causing poor populations to die, to die, to die
By relying on bottled water, our generation is contributing to the deaths of poor populations who do not have access to clean water

You, you went beyond and you lost it all Why did you go there From Beyond you saw it all why did you
You went too far and suffered greatly for it, but why did you feel the need to push the boundaries?

Dreaming of screaming Someone kick me out of my mind I hate these thoughts I can't deny
The artist is trapped in their own distressing thoughts and desires to be freed from them, but they cannot simply deny their reality
