From a lack of information provided about this quote's source, I can only assume it comes from Serj Tankian, having originally heard it in the song "Baby." It is certainly possible that it is a not only a disjointed piece of the song itself but a reference to the underlying theme that seems to hang behind the almost indecipherable lyrical exteriors of his songs. In this particular instance it could have a dual meaning, the deeper of which relates to his continuous theme of society's inability to correct its faults before the momentum of its "progress" carries it into the apocalypse - much more bluntly then Mr. Tankian might express it. Speaking to the leaves that fall in vain may be his way of making a metaphor of his implicitly futile attempts to mirror society's vices in his music, the aforementioned mirroring being an attempt to scare the bajeesus (polite for s***) out of people to get them to wake up and see that our world-wide civilization is headed for collapse. (I think this is a roughly accurate representation of the message in his songs.) In almost haiku fashion, he feels that he speaks to leaves that keep falling in spite of his urgings, though falling (which is in their nature) leads them to destruction.
I have no working theory as to how this phrase bears relevance to the individual song. Keep in mind that this is just a conjecture constructed from intuition. There is no empirical evidence to support that anything I have said is either true or false.
