Dreaming
System Of A Down㌀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And put them on the wall
For treated indigenously, digenously
Human right is private blue chip, pry
For treated indigenously (we're the prophetic generation)
Digenously (of bottled water, bottled water)
Human right is private blue chip, pry (causing poor populations to die)
You, you went beyond and you lost it all
Why did you go there?
From beyond, you saw it all
Why did you?
For treated indigenously, digenously (we lost consumer confidence)
Human right is private blue chip, pry (We lost consumer confidence in casual karma)
(Confetti, camouflage, camouflage, the flage, the flage)
For treated indigenously, digenously (We're the prophetic generation)
Human right is private blue chip, pry (of bottled water, bottled water)
(Causing poor populations to die, to die, to die)
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?
She lost her mind
Someone kicked her into the back of the line
She lost her head
When they called and said that they thought he was dead
Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind, I hate these thoughts I can't deny
Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind, I hate these thoughts I can't deny
For treated indigenously, digenously we lost consumer confidence
Human right is private blue chip, pry (in casual karma, casual karma))
For treated indigenously, digenously (Confetti, camouflage)
(We're the prophetic generation of bottled water, bottled water)
Human right is private blue chip, pry (camouflage, the flage, the flage))
(Causing poor populations to die, to die, to die)
You, you went beyond and you lost it all
Why did you go there
From beyond, you saw it all
Why did you?
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Ah, ah, ah-ah
Dreamin' of screamin'
Someone kick me out of my mind
I hate these thoughts I can't deny
Dreamin' of screamin'
Someone kick me out of my mind
I hate these thoughts I can't deny
You will take the body parts and put them on the wall
And bring the dark disaster
The song "Dreaming" by System of a Down appears to criticize the treatment of indigenous peoples around the world, specifically with regard to their loss of human rights and consumer confidence regarding bottled water. The opening line of the song ("For today, we will take their body parts / And put them on the wall") is likely a metaphor for the exploitation of indigenous people for their resources and labor, with their bodies being used like commodities. The following lines of the song suggest that this exploitation has resulted in a loss of human rights for these populations, with their rights being treated like private assets of wealth ("Human right is private blue chip, pry").
The chorus of the song is directed at someone who "went beyond and lost it all," asking why they would travel beyond their society and see things that they can't unsee. The third verse highlights the mistreatment of women and how they are often relegated to the back of the line. The bridge of the song emphasizes the desire to escape these thoughts and overwhelming emotions, culminating in the repetition of the phrase "Dreaming of screaming / Someone kick me out of my mind."

@StoryofStuff
♻️ The plastic crisis gets a lot of attention as pollution, but the environmental impact of plastic’s life cycle starts long before it ends up in our waterways and ecosystems. Watch our latest animation, The Story of Plastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO3SA4YyEYU

It might be interesting and enlightening if you look into the amount of fossil fuel to make windmills and solar panels,
Plus how they dispose of the hundreds of tons of windmill blades.
@algoenespanol
"Dinosaur Economy" is such an accurate term, since so much of it relies on fossil fuels, is unnecessarily large and may cause our extinction.
@dreaming570
90% of the people can't think outside the box. The 1% know this very well. Thus I agree with who said "if vote changed anything it would be illegal" (by the 1%).
@thetypewrited3448
My teacher showed me your first film... I was so inspired.
@dominiquebreighton5396
the typewrited and that’s exactly why they claim they „have no money” for schools :/
@pxl_sniper9675
This was a very informative video to watch and my teacher told us to watch it and I'm glad that I watched it and it was also watched in a very intuitive way and I watched in very carefully.
@Corvicula1979
Annie, you rock my world. I discovered your series last week, watched all the eps, and was waiting impatiently for this one to get released. Even up here in what some people like to call "Canuckistan" with our socialized heathcare and other such, this is a problem: the government can consider spending billions of dollars on new fighter planes (even more ridiculous with our relatively small military), but our social services are constantly squeezed or facing cutbacks).
@Zhonguoria
6:03 Voting ≠ democracy! Voting is manipulated so incumbent-members of Congress can never be defeated. US needs a Constitutional Amendment where federal elected officials have TERM-LIMITS, and bribes are illegal.
@ruihanzeng3645
I do agree with you that incumbent win too much of the time (~94% of the time for house members and ~80% for senators), but neither term limits nor campaign fiance laws are going to do anything (Since donations are bribes; no rational person or corporation is going to give money to a politician without getting something they want in return). First of all if you don't eliminate gerrymandering (even though it is illegal, it is almost impossible to prove in court), the same people, or people with the same ideology are going to get elected year after year. Nothing changes. Second of all, campaign are expensive to run, on average House rep spends several hundred thousand during campaigns; Senators spend millions. Without campaign donations, the only people that could afford to run for office are the super rich. You have good intentions, but the results of the two policies you suggested will probably make government even less accountable to the people.
