System of a Down: Soldier Side (Intro) Meaning
Soldier Side (Intro) Lyrics
where there's no one here but me.
People all grow up to die.
There is no one here but me.
-
ok this guy before me's got the idea the song is about conscription during war time. Does anything else matter? The song is about the soldiers, not anyone else. So let's stay focused; Bush is not god wearing black. Don't be an idiot, Bush is certainly not god in anyone's eyes.
-
"people all grow up to die" may mean how people grow up just to get drafted to the army, and then they get killed. Mine's pretty bad..The one before mine are better.
-
The all grow up to die part does not necissarily have to be about an old soldier dying.
I think that it means a young man going to war, which makes him grow up, which he does only to then die in battle. Hence the "people all grow up to die" and how in war you feel alone and abandoned, hence "there is no one here but me" -
I think that the "there is noone here but me" to mean smeans that there there is no god or higher being just him.
-
I think this song and "Soldier Side" are about the Armenian Genocide. Reason being is because the Ottoman Empire Drafted the abled body Armenian men into the army only to kill them right way, leaving the women, childern, old and weak left.
-
I do believe the song is about the soldier's point of view, but I think the intro has another possible interpritation.
"people all grow up to die, there is no one here but me"
might mean people are blind to their own lives, and all their false hopes and dreams, their own stupid little worlds all go to waist when they die in the end. "There is no one here but me" means that no one shares the same view as him, that no one can see through the ignorant and blissfully unaware mask that society is hiding behind. -
This is an interpretation of the intro not the song. After listening to the entire song, the song is about what goes on in a soldiers mind while he's at war. He's [the soldier] wondering who's going to save them. They soldier also feels guilt and wonders if he deserves to die. The guilt may come from stuff that hey may have done back home or while they've been at war.
Welcome to the soldier's side. We always here the people's side of thing well SoaD believes that this is a soldier perspective. -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

This is just the intro; the actual song tries to let us know what that point of view is. It's all in the title. "Solder side" is veiwing war, any war, from the soldier's point of view. Currently, we hear the politician's, the reporter's, the talk show host's point of veiw but we never hear the soldier's. The song gives us a view of what must be going through a soldier's mind when he is at war. If he dies does he deserve it, maybe he does because of his sins and so forth.
Craig it was cool what you tried to do but I think your trying too hard. Trying to make things fit. -
I think they are just making a point. God is wearing black. He has no more hope in his people anymore. Look at us, just wanting to kill and torture each other over money, a man made object. And soldiers have gone so far to look for truth, but when they get there, they find out its just a bunch of s***, and they may not be coming home.

(continuing my series of SoaD vs. Iraq war, see Soldier Side (Intro) for my track listing)
3. Soldier Side - it talks about the first wave of soldiers to be killed and Bush is "God" wearing black (a suit) and how he's not stopping his assault until he finds a "truth" (WMD's). It also says that the dead men are waiting for Jesus to come save them. It's continuing from its "intro" about it still being pretty lonely and desolate. -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
I see this being what a soldier says right before he dies.....
they're saying that the rich are the ones that are gonna be judged first
