System Of A Down's, "BYOB"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Kneeling roses
Disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
Stealing your inventions
Hangars sitting,
dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obseletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Why They're Nonsensical:
I'm sure they're trying to send some message. What makes you think Moses had a dry mouth? And why would it be full of kneeling roses? And how do roses kneel exactly? And where is this Fort Knox place? And what inventions are you talking about? And what the heck is this tablecloth stuff? My brain's gonna hurt trying to figure this sh*t out!

System of a Down's, "Chic 'n Stu"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Ballgame's in the refrigerator,
door's closed,
lights are out,
BUTTER'S GETTING HARD!
Why They're Nonsensical:
What? A baseball game in a refrigerator? Sounds like someone need to clean out their refrigerator if the mold in it has developed to a point where it can play baseball...

System Of A Down's, "Cubert"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Popcorn everywhere, canned
Why They're Nonsensical:
Popcorn doesn't come in cans nowadays (or even at the time this song was made), does it?

System Of A Down's, "Devil"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Loud and noisy strong refrigerators gaining independence.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Huh?!!?!?? This sounds like it was written by someone who had a few beers too many. Is it supposed to be metaphoric? If so, I haven't the slightest idea what it would mean!

System Of A Down's, "I-E-A-I-A-I-O"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Bubbles erotica
Plutonium wedding rings
Icicle stretchings
Bicycle shoestrings
Why They're Nonsensical:
Does this have a hidden meaning? I've never really understood System of a Down lyrics, but they sound good at least.

System Of A Down's, "Jet Pilot"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay,
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay.
My horse, is a shackled old man,
His, his remorse, was that he couldn't survey,
The skies, right before,
Right before they went gray,
My horse and my remorse,
Flying over a great bay.
Why They're Nonsensical:
I love System of a Down. They're one of my favorite bands. But sometimes I just scratch my head and wonder.... What the hell? I'm sure there's some kind of explanation for all this nonsense; I just can't figure it out.

System of a Down's, "Science"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Science has failed our world!
Science has failed our Mother Earth!
Why They're Nonsensical:
Science has been apparently successful in many things in our world - including changes to Mother Earth (some for better and some for worse).

Eating seeds is a pastime activity.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Says who?! Heck, what does this line even mean???
Submitted by: Iron Phreak
System of a Down's, "Toxicity"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
When I became the sun,
I shone life into the man's hearts.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Serj, NO ONE can EVER become the sun - nor can one shine life (literally, that is) into anyone's heart.

System Of A Down's, "Vicinity Of Obscenity"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Banana banana banana terra cotta,
banana terra cotta, terra cotta pie.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Terra cotta is a type of clay that pots are made out of...so how do you have a pie of terra cotta? And why would you add bananas to this? Not only does it completely not make any sense, but it's sick! :P

System Of A Down's, "Vicinity Of Obscenity"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Banana, Banana, Banana,
terracota, Banana,
Terracota, Teracotta Pie!
Why They're Nonsensical:

System of a Down's, "Vicinity of Obscenity"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Banana, Banana, Banana, Terracotta
Banana, Terracotta, Terracotta, Pie
Why They're Nonsensical:
Guess why. Go ahead, guess. They actually repeat this in most of the song.

System Of A Down's, "Violent Pornography"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
It's a non-stop disco.
Betcha it's Nabisco.
Betcha didn't know.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Why would a song called Violent pornogaphy mention Nabisco? Is porn somehow linked to snack food in a way that is totally hidden from the rest of us? Betcha didn't know indeed.
