What Do You Mean?!

U-Fig by System of a Down

Melt in the sun, melt in the sun!

Who wants to come with me and melt in the sun!

Hide in the sky, hide in the sky!

Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky!
You and me should go outside and...beat em' beat em' beat em' beat em'

All pathetic flag waving ignorent pigs and we'll eat em' eat em' eat em' eat em'

Come join the cause, come join the cause!

Who wants to come with me and come join the cause!

Hide in the sky, hide in the sky!

Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky!
You and me should go outside and...beat em' beat em' beat em' beat em'

All pathetic flag waving ignorent pigs and we'll eat em' eat em' eat em' eat em'

Realise your mind

And we're out of time

It'll it show your mind that you have a mind

There are more lines, but posting them here would be kinda redundant..
I know, at first even I didnt get it, and over here it may seem a little empty, but that is because there is no music, its just they lyrics! In a System of a Down song, music makes a lot of difference! So if you can, listen to the song, while I try to interpret it myself to see if it makes any sense...

Melt in the sun, melt in the sun!
Who wants to come with me and melt in the sun!
[Sarcasm. To start with, let's know that Iraq is a very hot place, with melting temperatures well above 40 celcius]

Hide in the sky, hide in the sky!
Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky!
[Im not sure about this one, it could symbolize bomber jets, fighter planes or innocent people going off to heaven, through the 'hole in the sky' and hide and be forgotten]

You and me should go outside and...beat em' beat em' beat em' beat em'
All pathetic flag waving ignorent pigs and we'll eat em' eat em' eat em' eat em'
[You: the understanding one and me: the voice of the song should teach them a lesson/give them a beating. Who're the "them"? well the 'pathetic flag waving ignorent pigs' ofcourse. This is the term used for the blindly patriotic, forcefully patriotic or the plain ignorant non-sympathetic that do not see all the killing, destruction and greed of "THE MAN"]

Come join the cause, come join the cause!
Who wants to come with me and come join the cause!
[Some more sarcasm, the "cause" is the excuse...excuse such as WMD...come join it, its real, its OUR BUSINESS TO STOP IT, its noble, its good-hearted, etc.]

Realise your mind
And we're out of time
It'll it show your mind that you have a mind
[You're not stupid, you're being mislead...realise that. Look at the situation carefully and you yourself will be able to make the right judgement out of it, if you listen to yourself.]

Captivating song, very beautiful!
SOAD is a group that makes shaking songs on current issues. Their ability to metaphorize things to suit the real meaning is very strong. In their history they've written many songs challenging the 'bad' morals, norms of certain society, they've written songs depicting historical times.

They also do politically biased songs, such as this one, requiring no need to clarify what it is about.
It is a SOAD song, and despite that it contains no profanity, obscenity it is still not for the light hearted! As usual Daron has great backup voice and all. Certainly one of my favorite bands...
