Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who wants to come with me and melt in the sun!
Hide in the sky, hide in the sky!
Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky!
You and me should go outside and

All pathetic flag waving ignorant hicks and we'll
Come join the cause, come join the cause!
Who wants to come with me and come join the cause!
Hide in the sky, hide in the sky!
Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky!
You and me should go outside and
Beat em' beat em' beat em' beat em' beat em' beat em'
All pathetic flag waving ignorant jicks and we'll
Eat em' eat em' eat em' eat em' eat em' eat em'
You and me should go outside and

The song U-Fig by System Of A Down is a fast-paced and energetic song that contains contemplative lyrics about the struggles of society. The opening lines "Melt in the sun, melt in the sun! Who wants to come with me and melt in the sun!" invite the listener to surrender and give up in a world where it might feel as if everything is falling apart. Similarly, the following lines "Hide in the sky, hide in the sky! Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky!" evoke a desire to escape from the troubles of the world, seeking refuge in a place where everything is perfect and peaceful.
But the song is not about giving up, rather it urges the listener to come together and fight against societal problems. The lines, "You and me should go outside and beat em’ beat em' beat em’ beat em’ beat em’ beat em', all pathetic flag-waving ignorant hicks and we'll eat em’ eat em' eat em’ eat em’ eat em’ eat em'" are a call to form a united front against the ignorance and prejudice that still exist in society. The concluding lines "Realize you're blind, And we're out of time, it'll show your mind", tell us that we need to act quickly and become aware of the threat before it is too late.
In conclusion, the song U-Fig takes on some of the prevalent societal issues and urges the listener to take action before it is too late. The lyrics utilize the themes of surrender, escapism, and finally, awareness.

[Intro]
Go!
[Verse 1]
Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'm
Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home
Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm catastrophic, not again
I'm smeared across the page and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain yet I'm the one who's obscene
Catch me up on all your sordid little insurrections
I've got no time to lose, I'm just caught up in all the cattle
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fray the strings…
Throw the shapes…
Hold your breath…
Listen!
[Chorus]
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!

[Verse 2]
I'm ripped across the ditch and settled in the dirt and I
Wear you like a stitch yet I'm the one who's hurt
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions
I've got no right to win, I'm just caught up in all the battles
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Locked in clutch…
Pushed in place…
Hold your breath…
Listen!
[Chorus]
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!
[Bridge]
My end, it justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road
And my end, it justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road!
[Chorus]
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh!
[Interlude]
You're wasting it
You're wasting it
You're wasting it
You're wasting it
You're wasting it
