If the former, have SOAD ever once spoken about the Falun Gong persecution? They have about others, most notably the Armenian genocide, which was an explicit part of the intertext for the song PLUCK, for instance. So what's the claim here? That SOAD intended this to be the primary way in which their lyrics should be interpreted, or that the reading you have is a particularly evocative way of infusing the lyrics with an interpretation? ![]() Much like Falun Gong practitioners' organs were being used for overseas clients' organ transplants. Essentially, Chinese people's leftovers go to the Americans. I don't think you trust In my self righteous suicide (people don't understand why you're going to your death willingly) I, cry, when angels deserve to die, die (but they are still sad about it)įather, father, father, father (persecuted person cries out for help) Father into your hands, I commend my spirit Father into your hands why have you forsaken me (misfortune befalls the persecuted person) In your eyes forsaken me (possible reference to body parts/organ harvesting) In your thoughts forsaken me In your heart forsaken, me (more organ references)Īdditionally, the name Chop Suey is essentially leftovers cooked into a dish. Wake up (you are woken up abruptly) Grab a brush and put a little makeup (you get ready in a hurry) Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup (you were injured or assaulted prior) Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? (You're not returning home) Here you go create another fable (nobody will believe you) You wanted to (this is your choice because you refuse to denounce your spiritual belief) If there is an interview I've missed, please do correct me.īasically, based on the name Chop Suey (Americanized Asian dish), the lyrics therein, current events in the time peroid when the song was released and the fact that the band was dodgy on revealing the meaning of it, the song's meaning talks about the Falun Gong persecution. I've always been wondering the exact meaning and purpose for this song - doing some research and reading other people's theories, I've found that generally, people believe the song is related to Christianity.įrom my understanding, the band never stated exactly what the meaning of the song is. ![]() ![]() Hi there!
