Grab a brush and put a little (makeup)
Grab a brush and put a little
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable
You wanted to
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to
I don't think you trust
In, my, self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die, DIE
Wake up
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup)

Father, father, father, father
Father into your hands, I commend my spirit
Father into your hands
why have you forsaken me
In your eyes forsaken me
In your thoughts forsaken me
In your heart forsaken, me oh
Trust in my self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
In my self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
The lyrics of "Chop Suey!" by System of a Down is a grim reflection of the darker aspects of life, including mortality, betrayal, and the loss of faith. The opening lines "Wake up, grab a brush and put a little makeup, hide the scars to fade away the shakeup" suggests a world where one needs to hide their wounds and put on a facade to be accepted in society. This can be seen as a commentary on how individuals may sacrifice their true selves to fit in, leading to a sense of pretense and inner turmoil.
The chorus "I don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicide, I cry when angels deserve to die" is sung in a powerful, cathartic manner, representing a cry of frustration at being misunderstood or judged by others. The last part of the song, where the singer affirms his trust in God in spite of hardship, portrays a sense of hope amidst the chaos of life. However, the final lyrics "I cry when angels deserve to die" suggest that the adversity is far from over and that death may come unless something changes.

Im actually trying to figure out how John is playing his ride cymbal during the slow part where Serj sings "I don't think you trust."
Trying to make something like that with a beat I'm making for a track, since it's so awesome.
