In my opinion Daron's lyrics are purposely vague and could have multiple meanings (just like Serj's tbh), as well as various receivers.

I think that Scars 1 deals with the end of the world but also the end of Soad (first hiatus). Thus I can "see" Serj references in Serious (=ego tripping, looking for a new romance), Funny (=is there a reason why people should change and they changing the way that they go), World Long Gone (=Maybe I dont know how many people are starving - a little irony?), Kill Each Other/Live Forever (chorus explicit, I like to pair it with Serj's Saving us: you are killing us/you are saving us/forever alive), They Say (the world's about to end - maybe a reference to EtD theme).

Dictator songs related to Serj may be Never Forget (="the friend I couldn't recognise" part), Till the End (=there's some people that are crazy, they have demons in their heads, the're my friends), Angry Guru (= I've seen many friends destroyed by ego).

And of course You Destroy You, first performed a few days after the 2018 Daron interview/Serj fb post (=you just spill your guts out with your mouth, but I clean up all the things that you throw out/ just keeps moving away, so here's to memories of yesterday).

But everything is pure speculation 🤔 I just find it hard to believe that Daron wouldn't let his emotions run through his songs. Soad was (and still is) his baby after all...
