I may be wrong, as we may all be, but I always saw this song as a question of death, the uncertainty of it all. the whole thing with the "ghosts are no different than u" is connected with the "do we die" part. its like do we die and go away forever or do we become reincarnated as somemthing different (ghosts). and the whole thing with "do we kno when we die" and "do we know when we fly" (go to heaven) is just another part of the uncertainty. "sweet berries ready for two" is like you can die now, u'll have someone with you if you let them, take these sweet berries and feel the relief.

Reincarnation. I was suprised anyone else got them. Funny, people seldom consider the video clips, right?

Well done on linking red with reincarnation.

Well my interpretation of the song is this:
sweet berries ready for two ghosts are no different than you. I think what they are trying to say is that when someone dies...Does there spirit move on? So they might be possibly stating the fact that there could be two ghosts on earth which could be like two normal people.
Next:
ghosts are now waiting for you..Are you dreaming. Dreaming the night. Dreaming all right. Do we, do we know, when we fly?? When we, when we go, do we die? They are just asking the question of do we know when we die if our spirits move on or do we still live here on earth just not physically


thats just my interpretation though

Silly interpetations close some of you.
but this is how it rolls.
imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a tree with some juicy looking berries, we of course will take the juciest plumpiest ones. Its our instinct.

as ghosts wander through our dimensions of mind,
we are as sweet berries to them.

then they ask you the listener the Question!
do you know where you go when you die?
system has a pretty good idea..
ghosts are waiting for you..

further back and deeper in. This song is meant right at those who genicide and murder. (check out the armenian genicide) because those ghosts are waiting for you.

Well this song is all about the question of DEATH! They are asking us whether we are aware that DEATH is waiting for us somewhere. Do we know when we'll die? Are we prepared for death when it comes to us?

To me i see the reincarnation concept, and the artists (SOAD) questioning their insecurity in their belief on the topic. They ask "when we go, do we die?" as in, is it over? But the red signifies one soul repeatedly appearing in many ways living similar stories.

no that whole reincarnation thing is a bunch of BS. and whoever said that the band said it themselves is lieing again, this song was created because of the speech that william shakespere wrote in Hamlet act 1. it says "to be or not to be that is the question" then he rambles about how it must be after you die. and how do you know if anything happens when you die. hence the song name "question!"
