Does anyone know what Chop Suey translates to? I do…but I want to see who literally gets it down! 
5 views? come on…please. System of a Down is also another thing that may be frightening…
System of a Down is a band? What does a band have to do with a question about chop suey?
Maybe you should lurk awhile…
The name System of a Down comes from a poem written by either the lead singer or the guitar player it had the original name of Victims of a Down, and was changed. That was the story given by Serj and Darren around the time of their first albumn.
I believe he’s asking some sort of question about the lyrics of a song. But that insight is as far as my mystical powers go. I don’t know what his question actually is, why he didn’t make it clear what he was asking, why he posted the question here instead of in Cafe Society, or why he is asking at all if he knows already.
Here is a link to the lyrics of the song:
Perhaps Chop Suey is an update/remake the old Kenny Rogers tune Just dropped in ? Maybe not. Just throwing a few fish into the fire here to see which side of our zircon tweezers needs re-encrusting 
GQ isn’t the place for intelligence tests' or quizzes’ or games in general. If you know and want to see if we know, put it in IMHO. If you want to share good quizzes you happen to know, put it in MPSIMS. If you want to tell me I’m a fucking tard who should be shoveling llama shit in some Andean hellhole, put it in The BBQ Pit.
If, however, you actually have a question with a factual answer, put it in General Questions.
I think that fauxpas posted in another thread that he is only 14 years old, so maybe that explains his OP.
He’s 13, according to his profile. And remember that people of all ages make the mistake of starting threads in the wrong forums. I don’t think any explanation is necessary.
I believe that the song is about Jesus.
When angels deserve to die.
Self-rightous suicide.
They be sing’n about the LORD.
YES!!! Thank you Muad! Very brilliant…sheer brilliance radiates in your eye!
It’s not difficult to see that its lyrics have a religious tone to it. In fact, there are straight biblical quotes dealing with Jesus in his final hour.
System of a Down
Father into your hands, I commend my spirit
Father into your hands
why have you forsaken me
Luke 23
46Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.
Matthew 27
46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”–which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
The real question is… what does it mean!? And how does the term ‘Chop Suey’ relate to it?
Are they Christians preaching the word?
Are they Satanic? Is that why they say angels deserve to die?
What is it?
Off-topic note to azargoth.
‘Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law’ is the motto above the door of the Abbey of Thelema in Gargantua and Pantagruel by Francois Rabelais. Crowley just appropriated it, as he did much else.
Gee, I was all prepared to lay out the ecological, hydrological, and geological aspects, origins, and ramifications of the downs, comparing them, (with the proper asides and footnotes, of course), to moors, heaths, and wolds. And here we have simply another question about cryptic lyrics that has escaped from Cafe Society.
Did he pass your little test?
tomndebb, you REALLY crack me up!
Well tomndebb I sort of wanted to know the Biblical Response towards it. No they’re Buhdidst(forgive me for the spelling of that word)yet their songs have never related to their religion, they sort of impulse their Christians or Believers…who knows perhaps they are…
`Buddhist,’ dude. Dictionaries can be your friend.
If they are singing religious songs about Jesus’ final hours (and I think they are, given bensonGemini’s posts), I don’t think they are Buddhist at all. I think that points rather strongly to them being Christian. If you can come up with some evidence of System of a Down’s memebers being Buddhist, I’m all ears.
(Note that I didn’t actually understand the post. I picked up on certain keywords and went from there. fauxpas, you should work a little on your grammar and proofreading skills.)
