An Aerial is an acrobatic move. While watching something mesmerizing, our minds lose all of our built up biases and filters, which usually keep us small minded in our day to day life.

He is basically saying, lose your small minded thinking. With an open mind, you'll free your life..

[Jack-SecITGuy]

Your question about the music, aparently Malakian was asked in a Variety interview about the instruments used. "There is a mandolin, there was some banjo and there was an actual sitar on “Aerials.” I had never played one before so I kind of winged it." -Malakian

[aranthur]

That line, "Always want to play, but you never want to lose, " strikes me as a reminder that every life ends in death, but not in a bad way? Some people refuse to really accept that, they want to live but they never want to die, and instead of appreciating the time they have they live their lives in fear of losing it

It's a pretty beautiful line

[Serjical_master]

You must do more system of a down your breakdowns are perfect

[eggstu]

This band is one that honestly doesn't have a bad song. Album to album, they consistently put out great songs. Their more recent song "Genocidal Humanoidz" is fantastic

[UltimateGamerCC]

to think Metal is so misunderstood, but when someone comes in with an open mind, they find themselves enthralled, enamored, and wanting more. with so many sub-genres and styles, Metal has something for everybody, they need only to seek it out.

[viracocha]

Serj Tankien has a really amazing voice. His first Solo Album is fantastic.

"...one again after the fall"
To me, that also spoke to people coming together after chaos, war and tragedy. We commune after the churn breaks us apart.

Love your take on this!!! A lot of SOAD’s music is rooted in existential/religious themes. I’m sure other commenters have pointed out the bands Armenian heritage. That heritage plays a massive role in their music. Both sonically and thematically. Great band.

Keep ‘em coming!
Cheers

*Guitar intro starts*
Knox: "There's my bass!"😂😂

[mightyreborn]

So many good ones from SOAD to dive into. I always recommend P.L.U.C.K or Holy Mountains, as the message of those songs are a big part of who System is and what they've tried to bring recognition to over the years (the Armenian Genocide).

[lordelliott]

8:27 The instrument you're hearing is a sitar, which implies a connection to eastern spiritualism to interpret the lyrics.

[Koray.K]

"We are the ones that want to choose, always want to play but you never want to lose"
I think that's a reference of not accepting death as a part of life. We always want to have fun and have great moments in the life, but at the same time trying our best to avoid death even tho it is part of life too. Losing is a part of game, someone has to lose for you to win. Such as the cycle of life.

[darylingoteborg]

Life is a waterfall which absolves us of the tears wracked by the loss of life.

“Life is the coping is loss”

[richie]

6:57 Is my favorite Ariels in the song because he has to shout above the instruments playing loudly. My Fav SOTD song by far

[NotWBT]

"loose ourselves, but we find it all"

to my interpretation has always meant loosing that childhood innocence and chasing materialism and overall pointless things as we get older that don't give true fulfilment opposed to family, friends, and experiences.

Knox… QUESTION by SOAD
I can’t wait to see your reaction and analysis, that song is a banger, please do that one!!

[Zinetha]

I love how this band has only two kinds of songs: super deep and meaningful ones like this and B.Y.O.B., but also stuff like Vicinity of Obcenity and Bounce... that are also deep when you actually read into the lyrics, but not as obviously as the other ones.

[Britton_Thompson]

That sound you're asking about is called a sitar. A traditional Middle Eastern string instrument

[InstantgamingDK]

when you were referring to the arpeggio'ing of his voice, I believe its referred to as vibrato, of which his natural vibrato is mesmerizing yes
