System of a Down - Chop Suey Meaning

Song Released: 2001
Chop Suey Lyrics
We're Rolling Suicide
Wake up(wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
Why’d you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable
You wanted to
Grab a brush...

This song is about comparing suicide with martyrdom. The verse "Wake up, grab a brush and put on on a little make up" and so on is talking about the hidden stories in the bible and hiding the bad things they never told about christ in the bible. Then "here you go create another fable" another religious story.
The chorus is saying the fact that Jesus could be looked at from a viewpoint of suicide. Then the thrid verse "father, into your hands, I commend my spirit" and "father, into your hands, why have you forsaken me" are two of seven last words of christ.
The direct definition of "chop suey" is a dish filled with a mix of all the leftovers (meaning the leftovers of stories in the bible never heard) -
This song is about Jesus on the cross. "Self-righteous suicide" is referring to him dying but having the ability to save himself. "It's a suicide" and "Angels deserve to die" is Jesus being an "angel" that must die.
"Father father into your hands i commend my spirit why have you forsaken" me was taken from the Bible its Jesus' exact words taken from the original Hebrew to English hide the scars to fade away the shake up is God's forgiveness through Jesus' death.
I've studied a lot on this song to find true meaning, I hope you enjoy the post. -
I believe that Chop Suey is a bout euthanasia which, in case you don't know is the consented suicide of a person who wishes to die because they are in pain.
The term "self righteous suicide" means the suicide is for the goood of the own person and the term "angels deserve to die" means that because people are forced to kill themselves because of pain that the angels should die for letting them suffer. -
