Chop Suey! Lyrics
[Intro: Serj Tankian]
We're rolling "Suicide"

[Verse: Serj Tankian]
Wake up (Wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide your scars to fade away the shakeup (Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go, create another fable, you wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup, 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

[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die

[Verse: Serj Tankian]
Ah! Wake up (Wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup (A little bit)
Hide the scars to fade away the (Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go, create another fable, you wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup, 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
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
I don't think you 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

[Bridge: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Father, father, father, father
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

[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
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

LMAO, when they put the souicide hotline under one of your childhood songs.

[divine_]

no youtube im not trying to kill myself i wanna listen to good music

[wolfqueensc]

Since when is YouTube worried about mental health ? I am just trying to listen to one of my favorite songs. Besides it is a great song to get my son out of bed

[orums]

Proof that robots can’t tell the difference between allegory and literal 😂

[snowcone]

Kind of sick of seeing videos of this song blocked by a suicide notice. The song isn't about suicide nor does it encourage it.

[The_KING]

The father part is really good, sounds smooth and radical

[fredcraven]

I finally understand the song, when Angels deserve to die he's talking about Guardian Angels cuz they didn't protect him

[forit]

I put this song on my driving test, and I passed it successfully😌❤️‍🔥

[DoumaYT]

there is a reason i placed this as my 69th song in my spotify playlist, waited 5 weeks to get the first 68 to place this bad boy in the golden spot

[gyansagarekka]

No self harm, It's a Masterpiece, for which we come back here.. 👍

[nazlinana]

I might be suicidal, BUT. NOT WHILE LISTENING TO THIS

[MimuSan.]

I cant handle this song anymore because of that one scene from sing 2

[cheeto]

I’m scared I’ll accidentally call the suicide hotline cause since i don’t have head phones I put my phone to my ear to listen to a song like im on a phone call, and sometimes my face clicks on stuff 😭😭

[rashedahmedtaleb]

Adding this to my back day gym playlist

[Willow_Rose]

Dude, i thought it said, "Wake up, grandma won't you put on a little makeup" this whole time and then i read the lyrics lol

[YOUR_NARRATOR]

You know it's good when a song has a self harm warning

[brittanywatson]

I don't think anyone knows this on here, but he is talking about Jesus. "I cry when angels deserve to die, trust in my self righteous suicide" Jesus who didn't deserve to die chose to die for our sins. And then they quote him word for word as he is dying on the cross " father into your hands I commend my spirit, father into your hands why have you forsaken me?" and then talking about us " in your hearts forsaken me in your thoughts forsaken I have listened to this song for almost 20 years lol and tonight as I watched the passion of the christ, and Jesus spoke those words I literally sang those lyrics in my head trying to figure out what song I was singing until I figured it out. Now from my interpretation, it doesn't seem that they are mocking him, but in their own way professing some truths through the song.

[AriannaSeigler]

FATHER FATHER FATHER FATHER FATHER INTO UR HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT, FATHER INTO UR HANDS WHY HAVE U FORSAKEN ME?IN UR EYES FORSAKEN ME?IN UR THOUGHTS FORSAKEN ME?IN UR HEART FORSAKEN ME OHH

[evanatkinson]
