This is my interpretations of Sugar and makes a lot of sense to me, probably for you too, hope you like it. Once they no longer have to think on their own the conflict they faced ends, hence "It all goes away". "What do I feel, what do i say" shows how one is struggling for individuality, "fuck you" then shows the giving in aspect after a struggle of conflicting thoughts within one as they turn their thought over to the media's powerful influence. Towards the end of sugar you can feel the anger in Serj's voice as he sings these lyrics Such as Boom is an example in which it protests the US's obsession with spending much needed money on warfare to cause death rather than give life to people all across the world. SOD has also wrote numerous songs that protest current problems in society today from the war in iraq to the poverty in our country to the bullshit war on drugs. System of a Down's band name is protest in its self against the wrongs commited by our government. The media influences are thoughts whether we notice it or not with news stations giving us what we want to hear (which is hardly ever true) to the good ole' sitcoms showing us pure fun and joy living day by day just like an "average " family would with a very mild conflict from time to time. The main reason we choose to live our lives safe, but filled with emptiness rather than taking a risk and living a fulfilled life of joy is the media. After they lose the ones close to them they "I sit, in my desolate room, no lights, no music,Just anger, I've killed everyone" Killed everyone means the individual is completely alone in life with nothing more than their own self destructive anger and hatred towards the world. We all accept mediocrity with wanting nothing more than to be average as we live our lives pissed at the world, but instead of fighting for change we take our anger and frustration out on the ones close to us, such as a girlfriend. My believe is that this song is mainly about our lack of being independent from society. Where all they do is suck out my motherfucking brains, my brains (sugar) My girl, you know, she lashes out at me sometimesĪnd I just fucking kick her, and then, ooh baby, she's okay (sugar) It's cute, small, fits right in my pocket With a bullet called life, yeah, mama, called life (sugar) I play Russian Roulette everyday, a man's sport Call it insane, yeah, they call it insane (sugar)
