The amount of wars this music already covered is the most sad shit that we as human can see we fail as humanity. Serj's Art still brings me confort and rebellion at the same time.

One of the most underrated songs in entire Serj's career.

one day I hope Serj's music becomes irrelevant and is relegated to a history book but sadly today is not that day. Keep making music dude we still need it.

War doesn't determine who's right... It determines who's left.

I used to listen to this song when I was younger and I never truly understood it, but now that I've learned so many horrible things about the world this song brings tears to my eyes.

No one can do political crytics better than Serj.

Serj for President!

Why hasn't Serj won a Nobel peace prize yet

2020 still here Serj the legend

more relevant than ever right now

Серж натурально вызывает слезы. Даже не знал о его сольной карьере, теперь же просто залип....

My question why are schools not teaching us about the Armenian genocide? cause I'm in 12th and thought out my entire schooling not once has it been brought up! Love to get some feed back on this

So sad and beautiful. God please protect your children. Stop this war.

Мой кумир с 14ти лет!!! Ни чего не изменилось!! Все песни наизусть помню!! Серж, ты ОЧЕНЬ КРУТ!!! Низкий поклон за творчество! ❤️💛💙

Of course we all know Of course we all care Of course we all see how this isn't fair We are not blind, yes, we do see It's time to end this misery Make love, not war hehe

2023 can anyone feel the pain for children being attacked with chemical weapons?

This deserves far more views

"we are not blind, yes we can see, it's time to end this misery" That's one of the hardest hitting lyrics in the song in my opinion...

Freedom. A world free of old ideas, old values, dust. A world full of truth, and not lies, a world without borders without limits. A must.

I forgot to bring you roses When you hit the floor Your nouveau poses Asking for war Have you forgot the wall? I've foreseen it all We've foreseen it all [Pre-Chorus] Holocaust, you tasted great fear How could you just occupy another child's tear? [Chorus 1] Don't you all know? Don't you all care? Don't you all see how this isn't fair? Are we all blind? Do we not see? Do we not bleed? [Verse 2] Faint cries of lost limbs Mimes surrounded by mines Without warning signs Of the great sacrifice [Pre-Chorus] Holocaust, you tasted great fear How could you just occupy another child's tear? [Chorus 1] Don't you all know? Don't you all care? Don't you all see how this isn't fair? Are we all blind? Do we not see? Do we not bend to misery? [Chorus 2] Of course, we all know Of course, we all care Of course, we all see how this isn't fair We are not blind Yes, we do see It's time to end this misery [Bridge] It's time to go up to bed No more sipping on our regret Tuck the kids in without worry No more running out in a hurry No more bombs falling over our heads No more sirens predicting death Yes, it's the two-state solution No more glaring through oblivion [Verse 3] Asking for war Have you forgot the wall? I've foreseen it all We've foreseen it all [Pre-Chorus] Holocaust, you tasted the great fear How could you just occupy another child's tear? [Chorus 1] Don't you all know? Don't you all care? Don't you all see how this isn't fair? Are we all blind? Do we not see? Do we not bend to misery? [Chorus 2] Of course, we all know Of course, we all care Of course, we all see how this isn't fair We are not blind Yes, we do see It's time to end this misery [Outro] It's no mystery... It's no mystery...

so much meaning behind this...EVERYTHING about this song is art. the singing, HOOK is amazing, meaning is unmistaken. Serj Tankian is a legend. speaks truth, no matter what the cost.

Thing I've always like about Serj is his music has meaning, messages of peace, love tolerance and other things our world seems to have forgotten or replaced. Serj tries to better the world through his music, that is something everyone should respect.

What a great song , and thank you Serj for having courage to speak up on a injustice where so many others remain silent

*sigh* this is one of my favorite songs and im pretty happy that Serj is one of the few musicians that is outspoken on the issues that plague our planet.

To really love the message of this song! I wish the music we hear in the radio played more of these type of songs with meaningful lyrics.

So much sadness and truth in one song.

Ifonly we had more poeople like Serj.. we would run this place again.

When you find a song 10 years after release, and it’s so relevant. Music is the language of us all.

The fact that in all these centuries of history this song, among many others, has kept being relevant fucking ashames me.

Пускай не будет никогда в мире войны. Спасибо тебе, Сержик.

Serj is so ahead of his time..... Serj is a musician second and a prophet first.

Sin palabras... nunca había visto a nadie expresar tanto a través de la música como este hombre; su forma de vivir la música y su visión del mundo en general son sencillamente admirables. Todo un modelo a seguir.

Amazing every time I listen to this song. Serj Tankian is so amazing with lyrics and poetry. I highly recommend reading his poetry. It's brilliant ^-^

you could have just committed silence as most of the freaking humanity do , but no , you decided to speak and say the truth , and for that i admire you even more , salutes for you mr.serj

Sadly, a two state solution seems nigh impossible now. The only way forward is a single SECULAR state, with guaranteed equal rights for all living there. With that said, Free Palestine 🇵🇸✊🏽

My paternal grandparents were Armenian Genocide orphans who were forced from their homes in 1915. They had to march from their homes in Aintab (modern-day Gaziantep, Turkey) to Damascus, Syria. From Damascus, Syria they marched to Irbid, Jordan. And from Irbid, Jordan they marched to Haifa, then British Palestine. They were placed in an orphanage in Haifa. In 1952 they were evicted from their home in Haifa. Israeli Defense Forces came to their door and told them to give them their keys and leave, claiming that they will be allowed to return once the conflict was over. They lost everything and started their lives over again in Beirut, Lebanon. In 1976 a year after the Lebanese Civil War began between Muslims and Christians they fled to Los Angeles, California. I was born and raised here and the stories of these three horrific events from my paternal history never leave my ears. "Occupied Tears" by Serj Tankian I forgot to bring you roses When you hit the floor You knew the poses Asking for war Have you forgot the wall? I've foreseen it all We've foreseen it all Holocaust, you taste the great fear How can you just occupy another child's tear? Don't you all know? Don't you all care? Don't you all see how this isn't fair? Are we all blind? Do we not see? Do we not bleed? The faint cries of lost limbs. Mimes surrounded by mines. Without warning signs of the great sacrifice. Holocaust, you taste the great fear How can you just occupy another child's tear? Don't you all know? Don't you all care? Don't you all see how this isn't fair? Are we all blind? Do we not see? Do we not bend to misery? Of course we all know Of course we all care Of course we all see how this isn't fair We are not blind, yes, we do see It's time to end this misery It's time to go up to bed No more sipping on our regret Tuck the kids in without worry No more running out in a hurry No more bombs falling over head No more sirens predicting death Yes, it's good to state solution No more glaring through oblivion Asking for war Have you forgot the wall? I've foreseen it all We've foreseen it all Holocaust, you taste the great fear How can you just occupy another child's tear? Don't you all know? Don't you all care? Don't you all see how this isn't fair? Are we all blind? Do we not see? Do we not bend to misery? Of course we all know Of course we all care Of course we all see how this isn't fair We are not blind, yes, we do see It's time to end this misery It's no mystery... It's no mystery... #israel #palestine #armenia #turkey #syria #jordan #haifa #armeniangenocide #lebanon #beirut #damascus #gaziantep #irbid

тоже с 14 лет начал слушать СОАД... до сих пор почти 20 лет прошло.. знаю куда тыкатся когда мне нужна моя музыка!!! Уважение огроменное моему сородичу, такими я горжусь!

I'm literally crying. This is so powerful and beautiful.

Empty walls beep noises are just making me shake in emotions, serj is one of the best singers i know

Very strong in the spirit of the song! I would like to listen to them again and again ... Thank you for your creativity.

I used to listen to this song on repeat when I was a middle schooler , and here I am now after 8/9 years.. still have the same charm listing to it !

The people of Palestine and Israel are not monsters, many do not want the violence. Israeli children grow up afraid of rockets and stones, children of Palestine grow up afraid of shelling and drones. Those who do support the violence? Feel free to die in the fighting, but don't bring the civilians down with you.

this is unspeakable how I love mr.Serj Tankian he brought so many great music for us greeting from poland🇵🇱

Amazing :) ..proud to have Serj in our "speakers" and heart.

I listen to this every night.

The fact this is still relevant 🇵🇸

I completely fell in love with this song and video. I've been a little distant from SOAD related stuff the last ten years, but I'm glad to see Tankian's been doing what he likes the most.

Eu gosto muito mesmo do Serj, mas não sei como não conheci essa música antes. Perfeita demais!!!!

Serj, to me you are both a poet and an incredibly logical individual. You have knowledge and know what is right, and you express it through your music. In a day and age where such hedonistic messages are displayed with pride through truly terrible music, you do everything you can to bring peoples' awareness to the real issues of our world and away from their own petty struggles through truly beautiful music. If for every 10 artists we had one with your vision, the world would improve. Bravo.

Being half Native American, this song brings to life the blood that America had swept away under the rug

Serj wrote a song about ending hate and diversity and making peace but at the comment section people still fighting and debating about whose right whose wrong... sad

El mundo necesita más artistas así con esta capacidad de transmitir energía e importantes mensajes al mismo tiempo en su música, la información y la energía hoy son poder

Love that song... found it this year and cant stop to hear it on repeat... You cant imagine how great it is to discover Serj's music , 15 years after SOAD stopped to make new music.

This song seriously gave me chills!

@serjtankian thank you for all what you are doing!!! really a lot of thanks!!! you are a great man!!! don`t stop!!!

Dude, this song is perfect as it is possible a man to have so much talent? Serj is really a god

More relevant now than ever!

A very meaningful song, meant to describe an occupation 73 years and counting... An amazing message from an amazing human being who cares about humanity.... Thank you ...

Serj is the greatest songwriter alive today, without question.

Listening since 4 years old. Serj tankian one of my Guardian Angels for sure.

Serj rules!!

isn't it like this? any time you think it cannot get worse it gets catastrophic

My mother tell me: " The bird in the clip represents a kind of protection, when you are young, innocent and do not know where to go. It is important that we have someone concerned and fighting against it. But we need more people.". OMG, my mother loves Serj.

Such a great song, as expected of Serj.

Тяжелая песня и видео. Каждый раз слезы невольно текут.

Serj, don't even think to stop! Society needs your words even more, than ever! I hope, someday everyone will smash his pink glasses on the cast-iron ass of reality. Stay clear, true citizen's of Humanity. From mother Russia, with true love, Serj. Thanks for your voice.

Serj always has passion in his voice when he sings

I love the messages he sends

The IRONY OF AN ARMY RECRUITMENT AD BEFORE A SERJ TANKIAN MUSIC VIDEO OMG

After 8 years! Still everything is about now, about our f***ing presence 😭

Thank God , there is someon like Serj . He made music for masses . When masses like his music , then can understand the message . Im sorry for my English , im from poland .

That bridge is especially haunting. How it gives a optimistic view of what could happen, but then going back into the more pessimistic first verse, basically showing how it could never happen.

С 6 лет я искал эту песню. Я не помнил ни текста ни названия. И вот именно сегодня я нашел её. Я очень рад

i keep crying when i hear that song.... so much truth!

Serj is an incredible human ❤

Serj please dont stop making music!!!!!!!!!!YOU are THE BEST!!

Meaningful music.

what is wrong with music industries is that they give us meaningless musics when they are treasure like this not hidden but ignored and put behind the person without any good thinking

I admire you so Much Mr.Tankian ,you're AMazing,thank god you exist.

That was huge, a masterpiece.

I love this song, but listening to it these days makes me want to cry my eyes out.

This song is not about a country, it is about how the world works.

another perfect video song!great job!No justice no peace

this is a master piece as usual

More urgent message with each passing year.

I love this animation

Such a powerful video.

Kick ass,,the whole Album is the best ever.

Serj, I'll come live with you in New Zealand. Please, and thank you.

this do be hitting in these times

Serj has the best lyrics and voice!!!

I love this song! And anything else associated with Serj Tankian!

We are blinded by greed. Over-consuming the selfish needs. The noise of society is making me bleed. We all have history, but why do we forget so fast? Self centered misery, we should learn from our past. It's in our own strength, and our duty as a human to change lives. It's in our own faith, that we will found salvation that strives. We should stop watching, and start doing

Relevant if we go back in space all the way to the foundation of Israel. Relevant when the song was released. Relevant now in 2023. Relevant until the world stops existing.

An absolutely masterpiece.

Ce clip est sorti il y'a 8 ans et il prends toujours aux tripes, cette musique est incroyable, j'en ai des frissons

Серж, я из Украины. мы очень вас любим. вы лучший! Ваши песни дарят надежду, веру и любовь. Спасибо вам, за то что вы есть в это мире.

"It;s easier to kill one another then to love one another. It's easier to understand war than it is to understand peace".

serj una leyenda! gracias! 🙏

My favorite Serj's song, by far.
