System of a Down: ADD Meaning

ADD Lyrics

We fought your wars with all our hearts,
You sent us back in body parts,
You took our wills with the truth you stole,
We offer prayers for your long lost soul.

The remainder is,
An unjustifiable, egotistical, power struggle,
At the...

   A.D.D. stands for "American Dream Denial." The first part of the song says, "We fought your wars with all our hearts, you sent us back in body parts, you took our wills with the truth you stole..." This song is somewhat misleading, but it's about the government sending men to war and destroying their future. In the song's chorus, Serj Tankian states that we aren't putting up with this anymore, "we don't give a **** about your world." This phase is repeated 12 times throughout the song, and it is obvious that this is Tankian's main point in the song: We don't care about your (the government) world (or your objectives; we don't care what you want.) We are no longer fighting for your cause. Serj makes a strong point in this song. Awesome song!

   I think it's about soldiers who don't want to fight for the government cause anymore, they don't care of their world and interest, that's why private military is found haha at least they fight for better payment

   A unorthodox kinda slave revolt song in search for some historic truth to be sung out of the indoctrination lies sold to us. where the Protagonist doesn't want to participate in the warring lies and their dead corporations anymore. who's separating himself from Her[the matrix of the social construct of Government[s] and religion] global new world order run by anti-Christian warmongers and international je[w]suit crypto Nazi Zionists sorcerers that have been killing,decieving and using us Christians around the four corners of the earth to betray ourselves and our lord and savior Jesus Christ for far too long. who back then was tortured and crucified for basically just wanting to reveal the truth of His Father God The Creator to us and save us from the''deception lies'' of satan's money changing banksters and gangsters. which were using the legalized laws that were/are holding us down in their construct system of sin and debt back then like it is now, since the progressive and infiltrated roman catholic church and her je[w]suit crypto pope[s] support and denial of then the Armenian Holocaust and the Bolshevick revolution crucifixion HOLODOMOR of many millions of Ukrainian/Russian Orthodox Christians that perished during and before ww1 and onward that was backed up by the Wall Str. Banksters and gangsters. As the After Death Denial[A.D.D] of Jesus Christ. with whom then again His kinda believing followers were crucified for their faith as orthodox Christians by the infiltrated roman catholic church in Her continue support and denial of supporting the Zionist Nazis ustasha croat fascists before and during WW2 that murfered millions of Serbian orthodox Christians, along with wandering Jewish and Gypsy souls in their own country once called Yugoslavia. which was followed up by the pope's support and Nato[Nazi American treaty organization] war bombing on Yugo out of jealousy and revenge to destroy the Serbian orthodox Christian pride and take over the country. And off course we should ''Never Forget'' and distance ourselves from those anti-Christian and anti-Russian Bolshevick motherfuckers and their yagoda descendent types with je[w]suit trained ideologies made of killers that overtook the Motherland of Russia and murdered many many millions of her Ukrainian and Russian orthodox Christians in the HOLODOMOR before, during and after WW1 and WW2. with whom the ''infiltrated'' roman catholic church and her je[w]suit crypto pope's puppets have not only robed us Christians, but also had been denying the bloody truth of the genocidal HOLOCAUST[s] of millions and millions of true Christians who were murdered for just wanting to remain on their land of birth and on the right side of the one true orthodox Christian church in faith and honor to Jesus Christ, not to change.

   From what I deduce, these lyrics are about wars In America and the affects of these wars on the soldiers, the soldiers families as well as the country itself. In the song, Serj sings "we fought your war with all our hearts, you sent us back in body parts" implying that the government and country couldn't possibly care whether soldiers returned from the war or not or the conditions of war, as long as the wars were fought on their behalf.

   I think its about America not giving a fuck on what happens to this world. Meaning America gets us into wars half cocked and not giving to shits on the effect it has to the rest of the world. That said, I think what i just said reflects America perfectly. Good song.

   It explains how the armenians fought the way they were told
   the turks being armed by us with weapons. Saying that the war was a just cause. Simple addition . In the name of our religion theirs was called the wrong one. The reasons why armenians fought in our wars were because the overwelming moral majority pointed in the direction that to them led to to an unjustified genocide. Just serj trying to justify why they dont trust america anymore.
