This song is about the armenian holocaust. Serj tankian is Armenian and the lyrics "self righteous suicide" refer to the fact that the armenians never fought back evenwhen they were being killed by muslim turks. Lyrics "father into your hands I commit my spirit" and "why have u forsaken me", were among the last words of christ. 1: 35 -1: 40, you could c the armenian flag in the background. Serj said the song is just a reflection of what happened to his people. Btw, one of the best songs ever written!
