"Lonely Day" features a dreary musical theme with a heavy chorus and a dual guitar solo near the end. The chorus is notable for featuring the double superlative "most loneliest".
The song is featured in the 2007 film Disturbia, as well as the film's trailer; however, it is not included in the film's soundtrack. Daron did not write the song as a tribute to his brother as rumored, as Daron is an only child.
The music video features the band on a tour bus with interspliced shots of Hollywood and sections on fire. About 45 seconds into the video, there is a reference to the Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here album sleeve on a reflected piece of glass. The doodle that bassist Shavo Odadjian is seen to be sketching in the video can be found on his Facebook profile.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day that I'll never miss
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
And if you go, I wanna go with you
And if you die, I wanna die with you
Take your hand and walk away
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life (life)
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
It's a day that I'm glad I survived
The song "Lonely Day" by System of a Down is a melancholic, introspective piece that offers a glimpse into the mind of a person who is experiencing a sense of loneliness and isolation. The opening lyrics, "Such a lonely day, and it's mine, the most loneliest day of my life," sets the tone of the song and captures the themes of aloneness and sadness. The repetition of the phrase "lonely day" emphasizes the feeling of loneliness, almost making it a character in the song.
The lyrics suggest that the character is experiencing a feeling of despair and hopelessness. They wish that the day, this "lonely day," would be banned and that it shouldn't exist. The character is struggling to cope with their emotions and is desperate for someone to share their experiences with. The line "And if you go, I wanna go with you, and if you die, I wanna die with you," highlights the character's dependency on another person to cope with the emotional turmoil they are experiencing.
The closing lyrics "such a lonely day, and it's mine, a day that I'm glad I survived," suggests that the character has come through their period of loneliness and has emerged with a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the difficult times they went through. Overall, the song is a reflection of the universal human experience of isolation and loneliness, and a testament to the need for human connection and support in times of emotional distress.

@@omaewamoushindeirunani4635gotta completely disagree. Granted I’m not a specialist or anything.
But I’d say I’m introverted. I don’t like a lot of socialization. Not that I don’t want any. Just not a lot
I’d argue that’s closer to anti social behaviour. Which I can also relate so because I find myself looking for ways to not hang out with friends, and have to actively tell myself not to because it’s been weeks since I’ve seen any of them and I do want to see them but brain does brain.
And you know what? It’s been a great time every time and I don’t regret going out, but brain still brains. So I get feeling like I don’t want to go out, but generally I’ve only felt better in the end for it.
Do I think that makes me extroverted? Absolutely not because I’m exhausted afterwards and would like days to recharge before going out again (since I socialize at work to, that ends up being a factor, long day at work, deal with lots of people, something stupid happened and your talking to the manager, that’s all counts and drains my personal social “battery”)
I like the battery analogy. It make sense from my perspective at least “extroverts recharge their social battery’s by socializing (those that struggle with shortish term isolation (think quarantining)) introverts recharge their social batteries by spending time alone (struggles with prolonged socialization/ extreme socialization (think service worker (drive thru/front desk worker, gas station attendant, cashier, etc) large crowds, conventions, concerts (they are fun and I love them but they are exhausting and I’d like a day or two to do anything by myself. Like I couldn’t do a music festival. But I can absolutely do a metal concert in a mosh pit for a day with a whole group)))
Take it how you like but I understand the “socializing drains my batteries, I need me time to recharge.” As introverted. More or less. (Yes everyone likes alone time but put an introvert and an extrovert in lockdown together for a year and the extrovert goes stir crazy first, in my experience at least lol)
TLDR: Main thing is we as humans need socialization. Introvert or extrovert.
Just to differing degrees, to different tolerations, If you find yourself needing none at all.
I feel that’s closer to anti social then introvert.

I know the feeling. After so much time i quarantine me and my friends decided to meet up and I was so happy for like 15 minutes
After that I felt just a void. So empty.
This wasn't the only time I felt that void. It's always been there. Sometimes showing itself more sometimes showing itself less
Thing is I dont know what to do to fill the void
When I was in middle school noone talked to me and I felt lonely because I had no friends
Now that I am in high school and I have friends I feel lonely because I feel like no one really sees the real me and I have to put on a mask because they wont accept the real me.
Arguements at home don't really help either. They just make the void larger
Sometimes I feel like I just want to sit in a corner and cry. I feel the whole weight of the world crushing me and I just want to let go. Yet I can't. I can't cry and I never had the courage to slide the knife.
And even when I am with my best friends the void doesnt go away. Even when I tell myself that everything is alright it just isn't,
Guys is this some kind of phase or should I be worried about somting. It's not like I'm not feeling happiness anymore. On the contrary there are days that I feel like the most careless person in the world. In fact those are most of my days. But the ones that I feel empty are just so crushing. And everytime there is a fight at home the void shows itself and doesnt hide for days, hell, maybe even weeks. And it's crushing. I don.t want to live during these days, but I keep telling myself that it will eventually get better. That I am better off alive than sitting in a puddle of my own blood.
Also yes this might be a rant of sort, yes there will inevitabley be some edgy kids saying that noone cares and maybe they are right. Maybe noone does. But just writing this down, knowing that someone might see this and have an answer and might help me gives me hope and helps me move on.

@prsnnstha
incoherently doodling but yeah solo it is
@DantesVoid
Not a solo if there are other instruments going on. But definitely the best part of the song. More of a duo if I'm correct in my thinking.. I'm sorry if it isn't
