Aerials Lyrics

There is ALOT in this song and I don't care to tell you what each line individually means, but I'll summarise what I believe it to be. It's about people wanting so much of material things and superficial status and think that it makes them superior, but with all of that crap, they fail to see the bigger picture. Check it out:" Aerials, so up high.." (people who think their higher or superior to everyone who broadcast their ideology) "When you lose small mind, You free your life" (when you get over your material view of things your life becomes a lot more fulfilled) As for religious connotations, yes i believe it is, i mean look: "...When you free your eyes, Eternal prize" What's eternal when you close your eyes (for good assumingly)? duh, what else ,eternal life. And... that's pretty much religion's reward in a nutshell. I Thoroughly analysed the music for English, and I'm good at Analysing. Every part of the can be linked to that idea, even the video if you notice, actually goes with that idea as well.

How long did you stare at this page trying to figure out what it meant?

Don't listen to the comments of the peaple down here> they will spoil the meaning of the songs by there tired minds.

when he says" when you loss small mind you free your life" he means to critic the shallow view to life that simple minded peaple ( us) have. And this song express the pure meaning for religion.

maybe this song is ment for people to look at it and see what they wont to so you can get what you can out of it...if you think its one fine or if you think its another way fine. life is to sort to stress over everything just let the song move you how ever way you let it. there is nothen wrong with people thinking its anti-this or not anti-that its who you are and if you like being like that then let it go. just stick to you being you. i really do love this song it just gets into my soul and hypnotizes me and i feel sooo at peace.hehe :D(thats kind of deep...LOL)

I belive this song is Religious, not Anti-Religious. Because once you get 4 minutes into the song, it changes, and Serj begins to chant, if you listen closely, hes chanting Angels.

man there are many different ways to look at this song, were not sure if it's religious or anti-religious. Only one way to find out and that's if you talk with the composers ;p so i wont even try to 'explain' this song as some of you have... just causes more problems v_v

all you f°°° christians go to your chrch and stop judging this song

i disagree with general hanibal. SOAD are huge christians so why would they make an anti religion type song? this song is pretty much asking poeple to open there mind and not close things out. in lines 4-6 its talking about how your taught things hence "the word" which is often refered to in the bible (again another reason why this isnt anti religious) but you lose yourself because you dont know what to do with the truth so as said in lines 16-18 people instead of accepting turn around and put up mental walls and try to block out the truth. in other words they want to be in-control of what they hear and learn which is described in lines 7-12. this is saying how people always want to chose what happens and cant take the fact that bad things sometimes happen and you just have to accept it. finally in the ending lines it refers to opening youur eyes and ur mind and it gives u eternal prize and u free your life which i think means that when you finally accept the bad things in life u will see the big picture and begin to see things more clearly and ultimately end up with eternal life or ascend to heaven. this is just my interpretation of it.

General Hannibal has a good example, 'cause there are no hidden meanings, there are hidden suggestions to make people think in a specified way, it coincides with a distorted theology and philosophy.

Sorry, but there are a lot of hidden meanings in these lyrics, not in the metaphorical way, but in the philosophy and ideological way. These songs are not good.
