Song lyrics
The phoenix he helped create,
Out of control boy without a dad,
Shot the gun that startled my life,
While I drove him with a forty-five.

Friends for years images in red,
Blew off his own mother-fuckin head,
Confidence, dreams, insecurity,
Men fall unrealized,
Unrealized, unrealized.

Making a decision of death,
While everyone around you pled,
Now you fly in peace,
I hope, my friend,
A man can't avoid what he's meant to do,
When he's meant to do it,
Even if he doesn't really want to,
My memories are of fun and friendship,
Of weakness within the strength of youth,
For reasons undefined, reasons undefined,
Reasons undefined, reasons undefined.

Friends for years images in red,
Blew off his own mother-fuckin head,
Confidence, dreams, insecurity,
Your men fall unrealized,

Don't you realize,
Evil, lives in the mother-fucking skin,
Don't you realize,
Evil, lives in the mother-fucking skin,

Unrealized, unrealized.

Don't you, realize, evil,
Lives in the mother-fucking skin,
Don't you, realize , that evil,
Lives in the skin.

(solo)

Don't you, realize, evil,
Lives in the mother-fucking skin,
Don't you, realize , that evil,
Lives in the mother-fucking skin.

Why the fuck did you take him away from us you mother fucker, fucker, fucker

i believe that soil was written about a friend that committed suicide. listen to the lyrics they say it all like: "friends for years, images in red, blew off his own *bleep*in head" that just tell you. like i said - listen to the song, know the lyrics and you'll get it, its very ovious.

or another less obiouse meaning is about Jesus and god. For instance in the first line serj sings "The things he hath create" which has biblical connotations, and then he goes on to sing "shot the gun that started my life" which means god created him. In the chorus Serj is speaking straight to god and when he says "Don't you realise that evil lives in the *bleep*ing skin" he is saying to god that in the world he made even the skin(soil) is evil. Also at the end of the song when serj screams "Why the fuck did u take him away from us you *bleep*ers?!!!!" he is talking to the human race in general who sinned and caused god to give his only son Jesus to wash away those sins.

the song is nammed after s.o.a.d old band name "soil"
