The song first starts talking about the actual massacre that occurred on jwhere hundreds of chinese students were slaughtered during a peaceful demonstration asking for more democratic freedoms.
Hypnotize system of a down meaning free#
This song is referencing events almost completely about the tiananmen square incident, but the general idea and message of this song can be used in any nation where free thinking is outlawed.
Basically he is waiting for his girl to realize things like he does. He is waiting for his girl to realize the truth (or get into the car with him). The only thing I could come up with is that he already sees through the everyday propoganda, and has gotten into the car (or movement) to be against it. I'm not sure if it is metaphorical or if he was just sitting in his car waiting for his girl. He then talks about sitting in his car, waiting for his girl. I've had girlfriends that have had a hard time with my interpretations of world events. By this he means that he has explained his political, or deep social views to his girl, and she was disturbed by it. He then says "She's scared that I will take her away from there, Her dreams that her country left with no one there".
The Tiananmen Square example is how a protest against the brutal treatment of citizens by the Chinese government was potrayed as a movement for freedom of fasion in order to make it appear to be less serious. The song is about how propaganda makes one thing look like another, bending the facts in the favor of the government. The "burning" you speak of was the army burning the bodies of the civilians they killed. It was a MASSACRE of protesters by the Chinese army. The Tiananmen Square massacre had nothing to do with "self-immolation" or "suicide" as you say.
