“They made me laugh,” Rubin says, mentioning the band’s mix of Armenian folk dancing and heavy guitar riffs. The first time famed producer Rick Rubin saw the band perform in front of a sold-out crowd at the Viper Room in 1997, he couldn’t contain his excitement. Nu metal’s popularity was near its peak, and while System of a Down was tossed into that category, the band was a different beast: They painted their faces, were influenced by Slayer, and proudly sang about their Armenian heritage. Prime slots on Ozzfest ‘98 and ‘99 alongside metal gods like Black Sabbath, Tool, and Deftones didn’t hurt.
System of a Down had grown from local heroes selling out shows on the Sunset Strip to the most-buzzed-about band across the country. In fall 2000, the heavy rockers headed home-a rehearsal space in North Hollywood called The Alley-to work on what would become their masterpiece, Toxicity.
Yuya from Kyoto, JapanI totally love this song, one of the best songs on Hypnotize.After nearly three years of touring behind their self-titled debut, System of a Down was ready to give the mainstream a wake-up call. Petrified Monkey from South Park, CoYou! You went beond!! And you lost it all!! Why did you go there?!!!! From Beond!!! You saw it all!!! Why did you go there!!?!!. Matt from Fort Myers, FlBest song on Hypnotize. Aaron from Plymouth, MnThis is by far my favorite song on Hypnotize. Blake from Hamilton, OhThis song really sucks as far as "Catchyness goes." I really don't like it, but it's talking about how dreams can be really bad indeed. Graeme from Carluke, ScotlandI think its about nightmares driving you insane, waking up past mistakes. Evita from Dundalk, IrelandI dnt no how dey do it! Their songs are unbelievable, i love System of a down!!!!. it's just so amazing! I don't even know how they made it this amazing! The guitar riffs are awesome, the lyrics are meaningful, and the "Dreaming of Screaming" part gives me chills. Damien from Edmonton, CanadaThis is my All-time favorite SOAD song, It's #3 in my top 10 songs of all time, with "Eriatarka" by The Mars Volta being #2 and "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead being #1. And finally, my favourite part 'Dreaming of screaming, someone kick me out of my mind I hate this thoughts I can't deny' is about all the the thoughts I make that are so true but make me really depressed and I wish so badly I wouldn't be making them. The 'You, you went beyond.' is about people that think of things that most people don't and end up confused, depressed and totally lost. For me the 'She lost her mind.' part is about a lost love. I mean it's the first song I've actually cried with. Katerina from Thessaloniki, GreeceI love this song. Victoria from Memphis, TnYes best song on Hypnotize:). Esq08 from Istanbul, Turkeyvocals is the best!. Can't forget that this band is Armenian, and i bet their parents have told them about what happened in the past. When the song uses the word "she" it can mean Mother Land. "You, you went beyond and you lost it all They had a different view of things (philosophy). Dan from Toronto, OnI think this song is about Soviet Union government. Evan from Norman, love this song, but I much prefer Lonely Day. Dbaggerson from Chester, WiI believe the lyrics "For today we will take the body parts and put them on the wall " may have something to do with the heads of dead Armenians being put on shelves. Heimdallr from Lakeland, Sweden.dreams VERY rarely cause insanity. Was going beyond really worth losing it all? It really makes you wonder."why did you go there?" The cause being the war and the effect being Al Qaeda crashing a plane in a field in Pennsylvania, a plane crashing into the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and two planes crashing into the Twin Towers, taking them down along with thousands of innocent victims. "You went beyond and you lost it all." I feel like this lyric is about the cause and effect of the US and Iraq at war. 
It wasn't hurting us personally, and yet we somehow had to bring ourselves into it. Saddam Hussein was tough with his people, but it had nothing to do with us. Bush sending American troops into Iraq, starting war. Shannon from PennsylvaniaI feel like this song is about George W.Ricardo from PortugalThis song is about Chthulhu the great dreamer, and the ones who become insane upon going beyond to r'ylieh and come back raving mad as his disciples.
