<Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> "Chop Suey!" on YouTube </Td> </Tr> <P> "Chop Suey!" is the first single from Armenian - American alternative metal band System of a Down's second album Toxicity . The single was released in August 2001 and earned the band its first Grammy nomination in 2002 for Best Metal Performance . Loudwire included the song in its list of The Best Hard Rock Songs Of The 21st Century, where it was ranked at number - one . "Chop Suey!" is often seen as the band's signature song . </P> <P> In an interview, Daron Malakian explained, "The song is about how we are regarded differently depending on how we pass . Everyone deserves to die . Like, if I were now to die from drug abuse, they might say I deserved it because I abused dangerous drugs . Hence the line,' I cry when angels deserve to die' . The lyric passages' Father, into your hands I commend my spirit' and' why have you forsaken me?' are a reference to Jesus' death on the cross, as, according to the Gospels, it was one of the seven things Jesus said while dying ." </P> <P> The song was originally titled "Suicide" but the band decided to change it because they wanted to make it radio - friendly . The song title is therefore a wordplay from Self - righteous suicide to "Self - right - Chop Suey - cide" that replaces provocation by absurdity . The band members claim this change was not caused by pressure from their record company . Noteworthy, certain pressings of the album include an intro to the track where the comment We're rolling' Suicide' can still be heard faintly before the guitar starts . </P>
