Kippevel... De nieuwe SOAD / Serj Tankian

Ja, hier kwam Jeroen gisteren ineens mee op de proppen, ik had het nog niet gezien. Een nieuwe clip van Serj Tankian, de zanger van System of a Down. Wat een verschrikkelijk goede clip en tekst. Ik ga deze CD zeker kopen.

Het nummer heet Empty Walls, en komt van de cd Elect the Dead. Ik heb de lyrics ook hieronder staan.

Wellicht de beste clip die ik in jaren heb gezien!

Technorati: ((Serj Tankian)), ((Empty Walls)), ((Elect the dead))

De verwijzingen naar de verschillende gebeurtenissen etc, zorgen ervoor dat ik de clip interpreteer als het de wereld afsluiten van de echte doden die vallen. Oorlog blijft ver weg, de doodskisten buiten zicht. De twin-towers, het neerhalen van het standbeeld van Sadam Hoessein, het nemen van gevangenen, zelfs autobommen en kinderen die uiteindelijk enkel door een lege muur en een raam gescheiden zijn van de doodskisten die weggedragen worden.

Kortom, de onwetendheid van het publiek, de onbekendheid van het aantal doden en kinderen die oorlog spelen, onbekend met de werkelijkheid.

Your empty walls,
Your empty walls,
Pretentious adventures,
Dismissive apprehension,
Don’t waste your time,
On coffins today,
When we decline,
From the confines of our mind,
Don’t waste your time,
On coffins today…

Don’t you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning,
Dying of anticipation,
Choking from intoxication,
Don’t you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning,
Dying of anticipation,
Choking from intoxication,
I want you to be left behind those empty walls,
Told you to see from behind those empty walls…

Those empty walls,
When we decline,
From the confines of our mind,
Don’t waste your time,
On coffins today…

Don’t you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning,
Dying of anticipation,
Choking from intoxication,
Don’t you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning,
Dying of anticipation,
Choking from intoxication,
I want you to be left behind those empty walls,
Told you to see from behind those empty walls,
Want you to be left behind those empty walls,
I told you to see from behind those empty walls,
From behind those empty walls,
From behind those empty walls,
The walls!
From behind those empty walls…

I loved you yesterday,
(From behind those empty walls…)
Before you killed my family,
(From behind those empty walls, the walls…)

Don’t you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning,
Dying of anticipation,
Choking from intoxication,
Don’t you see their bodies burning,
Desolate and full of yearning,
(I want you…)
Dying of anticipation,
Choking from intoxication,
(To be left behind those empty…)
I want you to be left behind those empty walls,
Told you to see from behind those empty walls,
(Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking from intoxication…)
Want you to be left behind those empty walls,
(Don’t you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking from intoxication…)
I told you to see from behind those empty walls,

(Trust your empty walls, trust your empty walls)
From behind those empty walls,
(Trust your empty walls, trust your empty walls)
From behind those empty walls,
(Trust your empty walls, trust your empty walls)
From behind those empty walls,
Those walls!
Those walls!
