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 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?
La la la la la la la la
The lyrics to "Question!" by System of a Down are laced with philosophical queries about life and death, existence and the afterlife. The reference to sweet berries ready for two could refer to being ready for a companion to share life with or symbolize the sweetness of life. The ghosts mentioned in the song may represent the dead, supernatural beings or memories of those who have passed on. The lyrics suggest that they are just like the living, waiting for something, and continue to exist in some form. The repeated question "Are you dreaming?" could indicate wonderment of whether the living are fully aware of the reality they are in, or if there is more to life that they are missing.
The song also touches upon the existential question of what happens when we die. The lyrics ask "Do we know when we fly?" and "Do we die?" repeatedly. The band could be questioning whether there is life after death, or whether death is simply the end with nothing else beyond. The use of the melody and the repetition of the lyrics add to the dreamy, somewhat ethereal tone of the song.
Overall, the lyrics have a beautifully haunting quality and pose some interesting questions about life and death that are often left unanswered.

The best thing about System of a Down is that nearly all of their songs can be considered "their best song". All of their songs are amazing and unique, I might even go so far as to say they have never made a bad song.
@jethrodelfierro1164
Agreed. All of their albums are instant classics and they have more replay value.
@i.h.m.d2970

@physicbody5651
With this one they made a masterpiece, and you're right when you say that they never make a bad song. But this one......
@thmswalters
I like every system song I have ever heard. I believe I have heard ~98.3% of their discography...
@jacobmesser8284
