____________________ / System of a Down / I think this song is about this guy being dumped by the / Revenga / love of his life and how he gets so furious that he gets / Mezmerize / murderous thoughts about her. It could also be interpret /___________________/ with a perverse twist. 'Bleeding in a sink' and 'the taking is in the making baby' could hint at the poor guy made his now former girlfriend in his rage and eager for revenge. I think he would do it to leave his signs at her, like showing her that he had actually meant something in her life.
