Therapist Reacts to Toxicity by System of a Down

Музыка

Therapist uses System of a Down's song Toxicity to talk about how people often get stuck in a life that feels dreary, hopeless, and boring, and they will often rage against that but quickly go back to living an unfulfilling life. We can use anger, the rage to help us get out of this situation if we are intentional about directing our anger and giving it a purpose instead of just shooting it out into the world.

    Great vid :)....."eating seeds" was used in the 90's as a reference for popping pills. The takeaway i always got from the song was "in between the sacred silence, and sleep....disorder" was a reference to the rise in ADHD diagnosis' and the treatment was to just hand somebody pills.(if you werent asleep, you were in the "sacred silence" aka drugged state. Anything else was disorder) Parents in the 90's didnt want to work with kids deemed "disorderly" because they couldnt focus, so they were given drugs as an overprescribed quick fix.

    serj actually confirmed that the sacred silence was eluding to a Native American understanding of spirituality and a place “go to where you can meditate”. so sacred silence was meditation! the sleep refers to actual sleep, REM sleep specifically! he goes into detail in an interview with rainn Wilson (I believe that’s how u spell it?) on a podcast if you’d like to check it out! the legend himself can explain it better than I can haha but you are pretty on point with everything else as far as I’m aware!

    Before i finished my degree, I was angry at my life, my circumstances, and my job. I used that anger as motivation to finish my degree....and it has done nothing but good for me. People think anger is a negative emotion. But energy derives from both the plus and negative. I found it to be a great motivator.

    @@gxbrxxl9626 The skill was changing my perspective. My job changed due to a new company taking over the contract, and what I was doing was....well....boring. Mind numbingly boring. They took away the parts of the job I actually cared about. And I was angry. I started seeing the anger as an energy. Like all energy, all power, you can use it for many different purposes. All it needs is a channel. Once I grasped that, then it becomes a conscious and intentional choice. You can't go back, either you are choosing a downward spiral or an upward path. And if you choose not to choose, that's still a choice. It's inevitable. That put it within MY power. Put all the accountability on MY shoulders. I might've failed to finish the degree. I didn't know, but, looking over my options, the others were too dark to consider. Once you bring that locus of control inward, you become mighty! Most of the naysayers of the world won't have any purchase....you do not contend, and therefore, cannot be contended with.

    Anger is based on fears and pain, and pain is absolutely the biggest motivator. Congratulations on the degree!! I am 3 classes away from having my Masters degree for counseling those with substance abuse disorders and all other disorders, which typically most have coexisting disorders to treat. It’s been a loooong road and at 50 years old and working as well has been tough.

    From Micro: Thank you so much for sharing this here. Music can definitely be a powerful outlet and refuge. I wholeheartedly relate to what you describe about concerts - this sense of unity is truly magical! When you're at a concert it doesn't matter who you are - it's all about being genuinely together and sharing a significant moment. Nothing gives me more chills than singing and jumping alongside strangers in the same crowd! On a more personal note, I hope the process of diagnosis and being on medication is going as smoothly as possible for you. I understand firsthand how heavy and draining that process can be. First and foremost of recognizing we need help, then taking action to actually ask for help, then processing official diagnosis, then making decisions and active steps towards being supported... that's huge! Really wanted to commend you for doing all of this because through each step of the way you are standing for yourself and for your well-being. To me personally, accepting to ask for ore professional support was a pivotal and transformative change in my life, but I spent a very long time pushing that possibility away. It felt easier (somehow) to keep going through the same cycles and avoiding the fears that asking for help would generate in me. For some it's easy, for others it's not... so no matter how it was for you: well done ,r eally. You are taking care of yourself and that is genuinely beautiful. I hope also that the medications process is going smoothly, just as it can be particularly challenging at first to be supported that way. Thankfully though there is a life ahead without feeling as much the limitations and barriers that depression has instilled in your life. You asbolutely deserve to embrace life fully, and not just in the grey-ish version that clinical depression tends to paint all the time. Medications have been personally a huge crutch in my life, and at the end of the day I was thankful for allowing me to try and see how it goes. At the end of the day we're all unique and there is not one fit for all... but you are *trying*, you are exploring new pathways, and that is worth everything. May this be the beginning of a new healing path for you, one that will lead you to more confidence and peace within. I believe in you!

    You’ve quickly become one of my new favorite reactors!!! There’s so many SOAD tracks out there for you to sink your teeth into!!! I’d love to hear your take on “Spiders” or “Hynotize”!!! Some of the tracks you’ve reacted to recently (including this one) don’t have any plainly stated emotional commentary, yet you dig through the political/societal commentary and find the emotional red line. And, you take the time to turn that perspective into something actionable. Fuckin awesome. Also, I’d LOVE to see your take on the piano version of “Mien Herz Brennt” by Rammstein!! The lyrics are in German but it’s so worth checking out. The video for it expresses a simple, yet profound representation of childhood trauma. It’s beautiful. Keep up the great work!!! Cheers

    The song is called Toxicity, and it talks about eating seeds is a pastime activity - to me, that's significant - it's not just that life is dreary, but also that our dreary lives are toxic to our environment at large. Our ennui is an immensely destructive force - and it is only when we can conquer that, that we can shine a light for others.

    As I grow older, I find myself finding more and more of the hidden meanings in SOAD's songs. From what I have scraped together: these guys knew about the growing issues even in the early 2000's. The (at the time) impending opiate and just overall pill crisis for Toxicity for example. Prison Song, self explanatory. Aerials, a song about finding your personal identity in a society that's all about conformism and being "normal." Deer Dance for police brutality. It's almost prophetic how Toxicity as an album still applies today, if not even more so.

    Highly suggest checking out "The Virus of Life" by Slipknot; It's one of my favorite songs by them in terms of surface themes, and is quite dark and horror oriented on that front. I'd like to see if you could wring a different interpretation out of it than what's literal in the lyrics. Another great one in this vein, so to speak, is "Iowa", a fifteen minute long song that left my jaw on the floor. It's just as bone chilling, but there might be more of an obvious underlying meaning properly present in that one.

    While watching your analysis I realized this song makes me think of 9/11. Upon further research I found that it came out in September of 2001, so in the exact same month as the attack. I remember feeling really angry and confused during that time. In addition to typical teen angst, we were all living in fear and uncertainty (worried there would be more terrorist attacks and a military draft). It was also only a few years after Columbine so there was always this underlying fear of school shootings. The line “How do you own the world, how do you own disorder?” really resonated at that time. SOAD was a staple on my playlists along with Disturbed, Linkin Park, and Rage Against the Machine. In hindsight it makes a lot of sense.

    I absorb the lyrics as being about general toxicity in any form be it small or large. And I think when he says "The toxicity of our city" he means that literally. An entire city run by toxic people who think the world revolves around them, who pass their toxicity onto those who suffer while seeing the world through a narrow perspective (the tire hub reference). And the only escape for the victims of their disorder is passing time eating seeds (cheap food in volume), sleeping... waiting for inevitable sacred silence in death.

    My interpretation of the sacred silence and sleep is life. The silence being before birth and sleep being death. In betwwen those two. In between birth and death is life. Thats where we are. Somewhere in between life and death. 👍🏽 How you see it is interesting as well. The livimg moments between sleeping waiting for death. Everyday we wake up betweeen the two until we fall asleep again.

    I used to use this album to help me get through tedious tasks. The lead singer actually remade the whole album with the New Zealand symphony orchestra to encourage young people to listen to more classical music. In my opinion it's better than the original version. System of a down are true musicians.

    My favorite line of the song is "eating seeds is a pass time activity." I've always taken it as 'they' taught us that we should spend our free time consuming more of their products and lies. They being the stereotypical they of corporation and government. Most of their work is to bring light to major issues swept out of our view to keep the 'norm'

    Im a gamer, so I relate that feeling to basically life feels like a game I have played for a long time, its familiar, but no longer something I want to play. I am forced to because of my family and friends, but some days the quit button is very tempting...

    From Micro: @pappapandagamer7438 Thank you for sharing this, friend. It's so courageous of you to speak about the battles you lead within but remain unseen to most. Sometimes it's scary to open up about things that makes us feel particularly vulnerable, and it's hard to share it without the fear of freaking out the people we love. What you are going through, the way you feel about your life and perceive it, are so very important to express and hear. Always. The way you describe your own experience feels so very relatable to me personally, and reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend when I was having a wave of suicidal thoughts recently. It came down to expressing that if it wasn't for my partner, sister and close friends, I wouldn't be here anymore. As you said so well, it's hard to be in a place of feeling like you've already seen everything that life could offer somehow, and that there is little hope left to see anything better. It feels more like going through the same circles over and over, completing the same goals almost in a mechanic way. To take your gaming analogy, it surely feels like grinding the same quests over and over and having joy being robbed away from you, as the game itself seems to lose its substance. When you are so tired emotionally it feels likethe wonder and curiosity that life can generate seems to be gone. Under these circustances, it's really difficult to identify the right way to feel whole and alive again. You don't see any positive perspective ahead, so there are times when it's hard to not think about quitting altogether. It makes sense to think about it sometimes, even though you know it's not an healthy and even less fair option... because your life matters so very much, even during times when it's hard to see beyond the pain, the tiredness and the overwhelm. With your friends and family in the picture, I imagine how this must also feel conflicting at times. Personally, I'm thankful for how much the people I love anchor me without them even knowing it. But at the same times there are moments when the heart feels like it just can't take it anymore, and I would almost wish that I had never met my partner or had good friends. Which is such a vicious cycle in the end that makes you see yourself as ungrateful, if not unworthy. Suicidal thoughts can be so easily intertwined with shame, and that's not a recipe that anyone ever deserves to experience. So when you share about how you feel really like you do here, you actively work against the feelings of shame, loneliness and guilt that dark times may bring. You actively seek *hope* even in the midst of feeling like you have not attained it yet. And man that is SO brave, so strong, so powerful of you. For what it's worth from a stranger, I'm so very proud of you. For being here, for being you, for making it through the days when you felt you should press the quit button. For choosing instead to pause when it feels like life is crushing you down. There's a lot of patience required during those times, and I'm so thankful you've been giving yourself *time*, you've been your heart some grace and just the benefit of the doubt that as long as you keep trying, there *is* hope to discover new pathways. Maybe with your loved ones directly supporting you and knowing what you're going through. Maybe with the help of a professional who would offer a safe space and strategize next steps with you. Maybe on your own with tons of love towards yourself and patience during enduring times. No matter how, there are roads ahead waiting to be known, and I wholeheartedly believe in your ability to seek them as well as to walk on them. You matter, friend. I see you and I hear you. Hold fast. :heart:

    @HeartSupport, this song encapsulates how I have been feeling for the past 4-5 years. I'm 45, never married, no partner, no kids. I feel I have lost at living and to be honest, I'm not sure if I have the inner strength or energy or if I can even be bothered to get myself out of this situation. Every time I have tried to get myself to of the situation, every time I try to lift myself up, someone comes along and rips my feet out from under me.

    From sravyasridhar: @ScotsmanDougal Hi friend, I want to start off by reminding you that there is no real way to "win" or "lose" in life; it is all very relative and unique to each person. Just because you do not have kids or a partner does not make you any less of a person than someone who has those things. I also want to say I am so proud of you for always trying to lift yourself up. That is all that matters. Keep trying, I believe in you. Make sure not to fall prey to all the pressures of society. You're doing amazing. - Star :)

    From Jearls: @ScotsmanDougal Hi friend. I understand the feeling of hopelessness and despair can be strong at times. It's important to remember that there is no one path to success. There is no timer, no scoreboard no rulebook and no referee. I am confident that you will find the strength to try new things and find the beauty in life. There are people twice your age that look back at age 45 and wish they could've started then. The best time to start is today. Sending love. -SM

    From twixremix: @ScotsmanDougal hey friend, that’s so cool that you found a deep connection in the music shared in this video. you are not alone in feeling these societal and personal pressures. something i’ve taken comfort in is that there is no blueprint or checkboxes to identify if someone won or loss at life. it’s understandable how you can feel exhausted by it all when things keep coming along and knocking you down. if these adjustments to your life will bring you happiness and ignite a new spark for life, i believe in you fully. even if you start slow to get to your goals, i know you’ve got this. and no matter the age, i can say with 100% certainty that you are not the only one in this world experiencing same thoughts, fears, and doubts! you deserve to love and be loved, never forget that. love, twix

    From Malig3: @ScotsmanDougal Hey! Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with us. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling stuck. I think there is an unrealistic time pressure to know what you want in life at such a young age. I want to remind you to be kind to yourself and know that what is meant for you is heading your way on YOUR timeline. There is no deadline or rush on life. You matter, and you can do anything you put your mind to. Good things tend to come our way when we are not looking and putting all of our energy into ourselves. Show yourself some love! I think finding a new hobby, exploring a new area, meeting new people, and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone are great places to start. There is not better time than right now. You've. got this. We believe in you, and we are here to support you. <3
