I doubt that "Wouldn't it be great to heal the world With only a song" represents that one person can change the world, because if it could, things wouldn't be as fucked as they are. I believe what he's trying to say is "wouldn't it be great if more people woke up to the truths being told". No one person can change the world, however they can inspire others to help it change.

I agree with Blacksheep in a sense. After all, religion has been the one of the greatest reasons war was started. As humans, we tend to prosecute anyone who differs from ourselves. There have been so many wars started in the name of religion, despite of the fact that I have yet to find a religion that supports murder. We fight, die, and kill in the name for our lord saying that it's spreading his love.

Manicdepressive, I believe your right to a point. Obviously in the video, he takes it farther than just the War for Oil. He goes into the possibility and act of martial law being declared, which is very daring of him (considering what could happen in the event of the country going into that state). He shows the progression of our rights being oppressed until our own military takes arms with us; while many just choose to shove pharmaceuticals down their throat.

Let us not forget that while Serj is an artist, he is also a very politically aware person and almost always reflects that in some way. He likes to share the truth, or at least his interpretation of it in a manner that even the most oblivious person can still find enjoyment from it. In all of Serj's creations, I've never understood him to write folk music without some underlying issue in there. With all the things in the world, I would hardly think that a suicide pact went wrong would be the main message in this song. Now, this might seem a bit of a stretch, however with his background, and his beliefs; I would assume this song has to do with the betrayal of the government towards its people and how they still blindly love and follow it (note how she continually returned after him killing her multiple times); the ignorance and blind patriotism being willfully exploited by the government if you will. This act of betrayal leads to the downfall of our government as we know it; because as I take it, from the video, they don't seem to understand the importance of their people. He's shown that he believes society and civilization as we know it is over; I just take this song to be a prelude to that, showing his belief in how it happened. Of course, I could be reading into it far too much. : p
