Empty Walls lyrics by Serj Tankian

now that i have listened to the song more i knowbelieve this song is more about the soldiers than the war. i'm not taking back what i said before but idk it just seems more likely because the soldiers are being worked to death,they have to be in a great amount of pain both mental and physical, so their bodies would be burning, they feel desolate b/c they are lonely or from other factors, yearning to return home or just to see their buddies return to base alive. dying of anticipation b/cany step they take could be their last orjust eager to foght or get home, and choking from intoxication is kinda obvious. i highly doubt the burning rubble cannot be good for you,maybe even the B.O. , rubble, smell of vomit or other things could have them gasping for fresh air.
this is just a kinda theory so don't yell and say i konw nothing ok please

I agree with turnikit. Bushido11B on the other hand, the reenacting part is a little off. I honestly doubt that kids are going to follow the war, just so they can play it out. If anything, the kids represent how childish the war is and what society has come to.

This is a strange song and I don't get it, hopefully you do, though...

I do believe your are terribly mistaken and ignorant. If you have ever been deployed to Iraq you would know that over 85% of the missions conducted by US troops is to help build better relations between the Sunni and the Shia and to also provide security for Iraqi contractors who were payed by the US government to build new markets, schools, hospitals, police stations, police academies and sewer systems. Why do I know this? I am an American Soldier and I just got back from Iraq and thats what we did most the time while we were there. We got a hospital up and running in one of our muhallas and the terrorist had the nerve to place a bomb on the doctors car and the tried to blow him up but failed and only got shrapnel we got the report and med evaced him to the US hospital and treated his injuries. So no the taxpayers money isn't just going towards tanks, ammunition and our salaries. Also for when the time comes that America gets invaded you will be happy that you are paying for standing army to protect your ignorant ass.

As for the meaning now, I do believe SapphireSpartan and Zetsubou Ichi had the best logical meanings to the song. One of my buddies saw the video and but it in a pretty good prospective. All the media ever showed when the war in Iraq broke out is the war and that all the children ever saw on the news and the biggest selling video games are the ones dealing with war (I.E. Call of Duty 4) so they just reenact what they see on TV and video games. The last part were the Marines a carrying a comrade's coffin and all the kids stop they realize the seriousness of war and Serj also serious look on his face when sees that as well.
