This track was never meant to be called chop suey.
The tracks original name was "suicide" but the record label made them change it, they allegedly came up with the chop suey because that was what serj had ordered for lunch... This is why you can hear at the beginning of the recording "roll suicide".

Great factoid. I didn't know that. Chop Suey is such a great name. Way better than calling it suicide. When you get to the frantic guitar riff prior to the bridge "father" part it feels kind of chaotic like a chop suey dish.

I actually really like that representation and interpretation you got there. These dudes are very clever musicians so perhaps they may have even intended that. I always had it as a sort of mental chaos and descent into madness struggling to understand the feelings of abandonment and dismay. But I love the parallels, I hadn't thought of that at all!

So good. When Toxicity came out, it seemed like the only thing all my friends were listening to for a while. Great year for music. Those were the days....
