Noone is actually thinking about this song.

For treated indiginously- for treated like an alien

we're the prophetic generation of bottled water, bottled water, causing poor populations to die to die to die- we're so superficial and self obsorbed that we're causing others who need resources we're taking to die.

The "she" I think means hope. The "he" I thnk means religon

nowadays noone claims god, system of a down believes in a god and in religon. They're saying in the 2nd half of this song that religon is dead- hardly anyone believes in a religon. And becuase religon is dead, there is no more hope, hope being the "she".

Sh elost her mind someone kicked her into the back of the line- we've lost hope. We've been demoralized.

This song is basically saying we're superficial and wasteful and we've been demoralized.

In the bonus material DVD for the Hypnotize album, Daron Malakian talks about an effect he wants to try out where he takes a bunch of stringless acoustic bodies and lines the walls with them. This is where I believe the line "put the bodies on the wall" comes from. Daron's acoustic guitar amplification idea came from him playing guitar in the acoustic rooms at Guitar Center.

Dreaming has a very basic meaning behind which many people overlook. It's about a girl how had become demented because of other people's ignorance and slowly turned into someone she never wanted to be. Now she's trapped in this disturbed form and is screaming to go back to her normal self. This is what I feel about the song. - Atreyo Mitra

I think, it's talking about war, look at the first part, putting body parts on the wall, dead by a bomb etc. Then, private blue chip, making people like poker chips, just causing people die, and all of this for water that is killing poorer populations. I think the she is the world, and the we, are the people, and the army putting on camouflage and killing 'she'. Idk, a bit of a messy interpretation, but it makes sense with all the lyrics.

Alright. I could be completely off-base here, but I've always viewed this song as being about the Civil Rights movement, particularly MLK and or the Native Americans. Bear with me here:

For treated indigenously, digenously
Human right is private blue chip, pry

^ This means that they are being
treated poorly even though they are indigenous to this country (America, this being the Indians)

We're the prophetic generation of bottled water, bottled water
Causing poor populations to die, to die, to die (For treated
indigenously, digenously) (Human right is private blue chip, pry)

^ This is showing that us (Pioneers, whites) view themselves superior, being almost prophetic.

You, you went beyond and you lost it all Why did you go there From
beyond you saw it all why did you

^ This has to do with MLK, it's saying that he was above all the racial segregation, and inequality because of his education and social status but he still went to help those less fortunate (losing it all being his assassination)

We lost consumer confidence in casual karma, casual karma
Confetti, camouflage, camouflage, the flage, the flage
(For treated indigenously, digenously)
(Human right is private blue chip, pry)

^ This line is rather unclear, and is something so deep I wouldn't want to even TRY interpreting it unless under the influence of rather strong hallucinogens.

She lost her mind
Someone kicked her into the back of the line

^ I interpreted this is being about seating in lines, buses, theatres, etc., where the blacks were always pushed to the back.

Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind
I hate these thoughts I can't deny
Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind
I hate these thoughts I can't de--

^ Deep down, the white supremacists know that what they're doing is morally wrong, and they hate all of the prejudiced, biased thoughts that they have, but can't suppress.
