System of a Down - ATWA Song Meanings

Lyrics:
Hey you, see me, pictures crazy
All the world I’ve seen before me passing by
I’ve got nothing, to gain, to lose
All the world I’ve seen be...
(See the rest of these lyrics)

To me it means that watching television is now pretty boring but since he has watched so much of it everything has become predictable so he is bored of life

I think this song can be considered a political song. About seeing everything going on around you being the little man and not being able to change a thing. It focuses on how governed we are by democracy in our countries and how we as drones can't do anything to change it we have to just watch.

The songs is talking about Charles Manson's Theroy ATWA (Air, Tree, Water, Animal) He is talking about how the government doesn't care about the point of view that is coming from anyone that is in prison. When he says I don't sleep anymore he means that there is no more air. when he says I don't eat he means that all of the animals are dying and there won't be any food to eat. when he says I don't live he means that once all 4 of those things disappear then we are F**ked.

I know that this has nothing to do with system or this song but let me clear this up about Manson, he never told his children (yes they were his so called children in the Manson family) that he was a saviour reincarnate, he brainwashed them using acid lsd and suchlike drugs into believing that there would be a black vs white war he called Helter Skelter. at one point they lived on an old movie ranch for a prolonged period of time, they were always acting and making up characters using the movie sets, this was how Manson managed to get rid of there real personalities (now I'm just going off on a tangent) end of the day Manson was not a satanist or anything like that just a brainwashing drugged up hippie

I think it could possibly be about suicide.
"Hey you, see me, pictures crazy"
could mean like their family members looking at pictures of their lost child or brother or whatever
"All the world I've seen before me passing by"
could mean they see everything they lost or missed out on and it's forced right in front of their eyes.
"nothing to gain or lose."
There's no point to anything anymore and obviously you've already lost it all.
"You don't care about how I feel"
"I don't feel it it anymore"
could mean they thought someone didn't care about them, and now obviously they can't feel it anymore.


I figured it went along the lines of something like that :S
