A.T.W.A.
♫ System Of A Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you, see me, pictures crazy,
All the world I've seen before me passing by,
I've got, nothing, to gain, to lose,
All the world I've seen before me passing by,

You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore,
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore,
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore.

Hey you, are me, not so pretty,
All the world I've seen before me passing by,
Silent my voice, I've got no choice
All the world I've seen before me passing by,

You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore,
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore,
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore
I don't see, anymore,
I don't hear, anymore,
I don't speak anymore,
I don't feel.

Hey you, see me, pictures crazy,
All the world I've seen before me passing by,
I've got, nothing, to gain, to lose,
All the world I've seen before me passing by,

You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore,
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore,
You don't care about how I feel,
I don't feel it anymore
I don't sleep, anymore,
I don't eat, anymore,




I don't live anymore,
I don't feel.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "A.T.W.A." by System of a Down seem to convey a sense of disillusionment and numbness towards the world. The song appears to be a commentary on society's indifference towards individuals who are struggling. The lyrics "you don't care about how I feel, I don't feel it anymore" suggest a sense of hopelessness, as the singer feels that their emotions do not matter to those around them.


The repetition of the line "All the world I've seen before me passing by" emphasizes a sense of detachment from the world and a feeling that life is passing by without any real meaning. The line "Silent my voice, I've got no choice" suggests that the singer feels they are not being heard and that their voice has been silenced.


Overall, the song suggests a sense of despair and isolation, as the singer feels that their emotions and existence are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the slow, somber tone of the music reinforce this sense of resignation and disillusionment.

"Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" Really the most relevant statement in any war.

@ibrahimk8271

democrasy shit. a lot of "self-righteous" kings of the dark ages lie on ground with his peasant soldiers but our democrat leaders of "the people" are too important for to die in a battleground. i think if the kings had oppurnity of sending kids to school after their 5 age, they'll think either monarchy is the best goverment type for human honour. but we're living in republics so we think republics are best.

@luluna5228
