System Of A Down - Aerials Lyrics

System Of A Down Lyrics

"Aerials"

Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall

Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves but we find it all

'Cause we are the ones that wanna play
Always wanna go
But you never wanna stay

And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always wanna play
But you never wanna lose

Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
You free your life

Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls

Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves but we find it all

'Cause we are the ones that wanna play
Always wanna go
But you never wanna stay

We are the ones that wanna choose
Always wanna play
But you never wanna lose

Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
You free your life

Aerials so up high
When you free your eyes eternal prize

Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
You free your life

Aerials so up high
When you free your eyes eternal prize

The third single from System of a Down's second album, this song was released in June 2002.

This track is listed on CD covers as having the length of 6:11, but it is actually 3:54, while the rest is taken up by a hidden track which sometimes unofficially named 'Arto'.

Serj Tankian said about the song, "We didn't know it would become a big hit or anything, but truthfully we never even thought about it. It was just another song. We liked it, but we like all of our music. Anything we don't like gets thrown away."

The song reached number one on both the Billboard Alternative Songs and Mainstream Rock chart and became System of a Down's first number-one hit.

album: "Toxicity" (2001)
