System of a Down - Soldier Side (Intro) Lyrics Meaning

Here, I will treat the author as feminine because I am the author without proof and I am referring to my own feelings, which are basically the exact same as the supposed mind of the band, Daron, pronounced in Japanese as Dah-rhon. And of course, I know something true that you haven't heard and probably never will because it is too deep of a secret.

In Soldier Side the author is a storyteller telling the tale of a soldier that goes into a land of war for no good reason, and is sad that it isn't a different way in relation to the world today. There are two sides to the term Soldier Side. If you will notice, the view of the term Soldier Side means the land on the other side of the world, in all reality where a war was fought, and where the times were less domesticated. There is also the side where the author feels like a soldier at the very end of the song based on that she is a bigger person and feels upset that there's no one else like her, and also proud that she doesn't have to fight a war, proud that she is the only one on the other side noticing this fact. The point to this song that the author is making is that WAR IS POINTLESS, because it brings no hope for the future. There is only one author here that has written this song in its originality. The song is coming from the author's heart, and it is a very personal issue that bothers the author so much, they had to bring about the feelings they have about war and put it with music.

So, the author opens up her visual senses and has empathy for the dead soldiers specifically referring to a particular war, which she has experienced partially in visual form. Otherwise, why would she feel so personal about it? This author uses words such as "joker" which in the Southern States, is a derogatory statement meaning basically the same as "***hole, and *ucker" in certain situations, and it is used to express hatred toward someone or an object...For example..."Damn, if that joker ever decides to come back here, I'm gonna rip and destroy him for stealing my song." or "Let's see if we can get that joker(object)apart." There is constant empathy for mother's, father's, and Soldier's in this song, and there is even the worry that mothers instinctively do. The author creates the illusion that the soldier's are on the other side of it all, yet she is imagining that she is also a soldier of peace. She sees it all right before her very eyes, and understands it from more of a father's viewpoint also by realizing...it's a fact of life that "All young men must go" whereas a mother wouldn't want their child to go off to war. The mother's worry would be the son's losing their life. Why did you go off to war? What was the point? To accomplish what? The truth is that the only truth to find is that war is meaningless, and leaves us to be lonely people, where the only one's to survive. "He's come so far to find the truth" -the soldier is so far away, and is imagining and worrying that he can't get out of there.

The Soldier Side is the other side of the world where war has taken place. It is also the author's viewpoint of how to refer to the people that have grown up all for the sake of becoming "true" men and women by pleasing their Fathers and going off to make their Fathers proud and fight in the war of whatever period of time. This author is not specifying a war to be a holy war, where they're fighting to prove a point that their religion's better, and that you know, "this is the only God" there is in the whole existence of eternity. And, she's not talking about the Armenian Genocide either, because the Armenian Genocide was not a war. The Armenian Genocide was purely manslaughter. There was no declaration of war. The Turks were threatened by the intelligence of the Armenian people. Look at some of the architecture of the past, and other things too while you're at it.

The author uses somewhat poetic verse, and bad grammar to make every syllable sound right for the purpose of the music sounding on beat for the rest of the song. Like "Dead Men lying on the bottom of the grave," "wondering when Savior comes" "is he gonna be saved" the word "gonna" is not proper grammar, but it holds the syllables of the music in place, and we all know what it means. The Soldier on Soldier Side is going off to fight a war for the hopes of returning with a trophy, but using the author's point of view, there is no prize.

People generally talk with reference to the past statement. Not this author. The author is treating herself as a masculine God and putting herself in His shoes at times. If you will notice the word "Savior" is capitalized. This suggests no disrespect to who the God is to this author..which is Jesus. The author even suggests how Jewish people thought back then...wondering if "Savior" or messiah would come. Let us not forget that at the beginning and end of the song it says "Welcome to the soldier side" "Where there's no one here but me," Treating the term "me" as if the word "me" serves to play many roles..which are the soldier, the land of war, the witness, God, and the peace maker. And the reader has to guess which one "me" is by the end of the song, which becomes the peace maker, where it is written..."People on the soldier's side," "There is no one here but me." That's the whole point right there of the song...that there's people who are on the soldier's side, and who believe in war, and there's not enough people that believe that peace-making works.
Thanks everybody.
Yalla, I'm outta here.

The author does have an existential vision on what is happening beneath the land, as if she is a mysterious witness having an outer body experience. The author also treats itself as God and the Devil at the same time wondering if she will go to heaven or hell treating herself as the soldier there by saying to herself "Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life" and makes herself feel guilty for anything she's ever done to the point where she would carry the things she's done into her next life. The author has both a male and female perspective on the song and treats the line "Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die" as if she is a queen with the power to order to kill someone on command.
The author, again, is back to having the outlook of a witness having empathy for the son's mothers "They were crying when their son's left." The next line, the author uses more of a masculine statement that came from an actual visualization she actually had in a dream where..."God is wearing black"...this line is expressing that God is a man that wears black clothing, and is presently void, representing death, and that God is in the mood to have wrath. The author then treats the statement God is wearing black as a reference to a son or father a father figure
