Blurb:

In the The Dead South’s version of Chop Suey music video, we wanted to take elements of their live show and piece it together in an interesting way. Taking inspiration from System of a Down‘s video, we used blending layers and different motion graphics to give the illusion the band was morphing into one another. We took that inspiration with our version to the extreme by incorporating things like VHS film emulation and film scratches sampled from actual vintage film stock. Combining green screen footage of the band playing live, footage from the Mile Zero Fest in Key West Florida and concert clips from all over the world on tour, this video is a static mess of beauty, excitement and energy.

Lyrics:

Wake up

(Wake up)

Grab a brush and put a little make-up

Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up

(Hide the scars to fade away the...)

Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?

Here you go create another fable

You wanted to

Grab a brush and put a little makeup

You wanted to

Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up

You wanted to

Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?

You wanted to

I don't think you trust

In... My... Self-righteous suicide

I... Cry... When angels deserve to die

Wake up

(Wake up)

Grab a brush and put a little make-up

Hide the scars to fade away the

(Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up)

Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?

Here you go create another fable

You wanted to

Grab a brush and put a little make-up

You wanted to

Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up

You wanted to

Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?

You wanted to

I don't think you trust

In... My... Self-righteous suicide

I... Cry... When angels deserve to die

In, my, Self-righteous suicide

I, cry, when angels deserve to die

Father (father)

Father (father)

Father (father)

Father (father)

Father, into your hands I commend my spirit

Father, into your hands

Why have you forsaken me?

In your eyes forsaken me

In your thoughts forsaken me

In your heart forsaken me, oh

Trust in my self-righteous suicide

I cry when angels deserve to die

In my self-righteous suicide

I cry when angels deserve to die
