I don’t know what this song is referring to. Two of the singers are from Lebanon, so maybe it is about Israel. But one is from Armenia, so maybe it is about the Armenian genocide done by Turkey in 1915. Does anyone know.

Actually, all 4 members of the band are Armenian, and you are correct in assuming it is about the Armenian genocide.
