The song is a tribute to Tankian’s six-year-old son and the 13th century Sufi poet Rumi, for whom Tankian named his son. Tankian doesn’t often share the lyrics to his songs, but he did so for “Rumi,” saying in a statement, “Lyrical specificity in music is generally discouraged because less people internalize them as they have less of a personal connection. But there are cases where it is vital if the inspiration and muse is specific.
The Craig Ray-directed music video for “Rumi” plays a bit with this theme of advice, alternating between footage of Tankian performing the song at a piano, and a sequence in which a group of young people walk on a beach while being hounded by religious leaders, consultants and politicians. Meanwhile, the ink from a book — ostensibly a collection of Rumi’s poems — begins to spread on the sand.
