Serj Tankian "Empty Walls" (Lyrics Video)

When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time
On coffins today.
Not "From the coffins of our minds"

Blinded by the ignorant majority.
Mithridatism corrupted the most part of the population.

It's "confines of our mind", not "coffins of our mind" btw.

Don't waste your time on coffins today.

I once dedicated this song to a woman. She got so mad at me and left me hanging in the glory hole

Serj has such a unique voice

Just slammed my foot try g to see thru empty walls

Happy birthday

Damn sad that so many Americans love this song, but never acted on the message

Eren Yeager’s theme song

Serj Tankian GOD BLEsS YOU!!!!1

When i first heard this song i thought it was by system of a down.

i found this song on a odd website lol🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️

Fucking banger

Thanks to Serj to help me let go of the hate and misery I felt because of.......😢❤

This song will always be a pleasure to hear

Do you know why his voice is so beautiful because it's his soul speaking the heartache and pain caused by senseless mistreating of humanity and he is trying to allow others to see his vision for peace it's time to pave the path for peace and harmony ❤❤

☝🏼🇵🇸

This song will always be top tier

This really takes me back 🤘🏼😁

From the confines of our mind. From from the coffins of our mind.

8 years since this came out, and its still good, I think this is the best song yet.

Your empty walls
Your empty walls
Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time
On coffins today

When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time
On coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls

Those empty walls

When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time
On coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls
Want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taunt you to see from behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls, the walls
From behind those empty walls

I loved you yesterday (from behind those empty walls)
Before you killed my family (from behind those empty walls, the walls)

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls
I want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taunt you to see from behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those goddamn walls
Those walls, those walls

Free Palestine till I die 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

damn Serj :O

A brilliant song💯

Still listening 2024

Screaming this at 3am

This man can scream like a demon and sing like an angel

So much better Serj voice "alive". August, 2024. Quality is timeless.

That's my favorite Serj Tankian song!

One of the few songs that can make me shed a tear i know of a guy going through very simlar situations before i knew about it this song kept playing it was driving me mad than i heard the news it was like a revelation this is more than music its magic

I know this song is about “ignorance is bliss” and the fact that people don’t care about war and don’t care about people dying, but in my view, the first thing I was thinking is actually Britain and BSE. Surprisingly, “bodies burning” to me meant cow carcasses or human bodies being cremated. “When we decline” could be a reference to the cows dying or people dying from vCJD, or even referring to the money the beef industry owns declining due to the lack of British people eating beef. “Empty walls” could refer to actual walls, or most likely the mind. If it is referring to actual buildings and structures, thousands of empty cow stables were abandoned due to the presence of BSE. What is left behind is nothing. If it is referring to the human brain, empty walls could mean destruction of the brain or the fact than some people keep their true thoughts on things to themselves.

Serj: hypocrite but gentleman
Daron: honest but annoying

Serj has such a unique voice. Amazing stuff!
