Song Meaning
While the members of System of a Down always try to convey a message in their songs, many of them are very ambiguous; there are many interpretations of the lyrics of "This [...]...". One possible explanation of the chaotic melody is that it reflects The Effects of [...] in its users, as most of the song is composed of phrases that have no logical interpretation but are apparently irrational nonsense. The song could be a way to show the progressive health damage caused by [...] use. It can also be noted that the song title is reversed purposely, almost to say that the title of the song was written by a person on a [...] trip. It could possibly say "This Song Makes Me Feel Like I'm On [...]".
Some fans believe that the lyrics represent the experience of [...] while being intoxicated, reinforced by some [...] references such as "gonorrhea gorgonzola". Some also interpret as a [...] story. Another common interpretation of the lyrics is that someone is dealing [...] to someone else or that someone hid [...] in a fish at a party and is nervous to which other people point out to him.
This song has many [...] references, and all of the interpretations notice different parts of the damage of [...], in health, sexually, and "The Rush". This song incorporates what it is like to be on [...] and so a feeling of rapid health decline is obvious. The sexuality comes from the overbearing ability of [...], most users experiences better arousal, and so pointing to a disgusting "gonorrhea gorgonzola" shows the sad desperation. The rush and beat of the song is the best give away, reflecting a mind and body going fast.
The lyrics: "Upholstery loving men all dwelling in the wells/Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture" may hint that people suffer from stereotypes, upholstery loving men being a stereotype of homosexual men and then having to hide because of it, whether or not they are homosexual. This is also supported in the song saying "I can't see your soul soul through your eyes".
