Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Lynn, from snot!"
Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again
Justice - with a - sword
Our smiling - knight on - board
Pushing the law again
And loving without a doubt
Embracing friends, embarrassing foes
And those who are unjust
A man true to his heart
Without fear or misgivings
With "insecurity" tattooed across his body
The first to accept, the last to disappoint
He understood all and expected nothing
Now you are free
Free to roam in the skies
Now and then visit me
With your starlit eyes
Now!
Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again
Justice - with a - sword
Our smiling - knight on - board
You took all our hearts
With your smile
And left a legacy untold
You conquered life and fear
So you see there was no room for you to grow old
Now you are free
Free to roam in the skies
Now and then visit me
With your starlit eyes
Now - you are free! (now you are free)
Free to roam in the skies! (free to roam in the skies)
Now and then visit me
With your starlit eyes...
Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again!
The first stanza of the song Starlit Eyes by Snot featuring Serj Tankian reminds listeners of the legacy of Lynn Strait, the former lead singer of the band Snot who passed away in a car accident in 1998. The lyrics represent a struggle to be recognized among the crowd, as Lynn feels that he needs to get naked for people to remember his name. Lynn was a passionate performer who was known for his wild stage antics and his unique vocal style which earned him a loyal following. "Pushing the law again" is a reference to his rebellious spirit and how he always lived life on his own terms.
The second stanza of the song pays tribute to Lynn Strait's character and his approach to life. He was a true friend who embraced everyone, whether they were friends or foes. He loved without doubt and never let fear or misgivings hold him back. The lyrics mention his "insecurity" tattoo which symbolizes his openness and vulnerability. The last few lines of the stanza are a nod to his untimely death and how he continues to be missed as a free spirit who conquered life and fear.
In the chorus, the lyrics "Pushing the law again" and "Justice with a sword, our smiling knight on board" reinforce Lynn's rebellious nature and his relentless pursuit of freedom. The song ends with Lynn being remembered as a free spirit who is now free to roam in the skies, and with an invitation to come and visit through the starlit sky.

Hell yeah man I was all about the hardcore/nu-metal scene back in the day. So many awesome unsung bands. Snot was just breaking out.
@Synochra
RIP, Snot would've been one of the greatest. Glad Serj appeared in this song, love it.
@s0smaster
God, when Serj screams that final chorus it makes my soul tremble. In a good way of course. You know how a glass vibrates when it's played its resonant frequency? It's kinda like that
