Serj Tankian - Beethoven's Cunt Lyrics






Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders,
Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds,
Oceans are combined,

Being that I love you so much
In the end they all will say
Breaking someone else's heart again,

Find the little evil perpetrator
And feed him to the hungry alligator
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits
Nor the riches in your dreams,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe in me

Ive been walking through these dead farms
But I don't mind,
Ive been screaming through these dead
lungs,
But I cant find,

Being that I love you so much
In the end they all will say
Breaking someone else's heart again,

Find the little evil perpetrator
And feed her to the hungry alligator
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits
Nor the riches in your dreams,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe, in me

But lately Ive been blind
You leave me all alone, left in time,
You left me here to die, left in time,
Leave me all alone, left in time,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe in nothing.

But lately Ive been blind
Leave me all alone, left in time.

Serj Tankian Beethoven's Cunt Comments
  1. J.... T....

    This gives me an eerie feeling

  2. A.... D....

    📝⚠️🦶🤜🍯🕛🥱🦔✋🤜🦇🤛🏿🥊🕛

  3. T.... ....

    Honestly, what is up with Serj's videos? They're so unusual and off-putting most of the time.

  4. A.... S....

    I love it

  5. D.... V....

    Eres grande serj (y)

  6. C.... 7....

    De mis favoritos del Serj! Tanto por la letra como por creatividad del video!
    Para aquellos hispanohablantes que quieran entender el concepto del mismo:
    Se trata básicamente de una relación amorosa infructuosa, en donde la pareja del protagonista se ha comportado con él como un cocodrilo (de sangre fría en cuanto a los sentimientos), lo ha hecho sufrir, tener baja autoestima y por sobre todo robarle todo el tiempo invertido que toda relación conlleva, todos pasamos por esa relación toxica alguna vez, esa es la analogía aquí con el arquetipo de "cocodrilo"
    Eso se refleja bien en la siguiente linea "Love is not about the profits
    Nor the riches in your dreams".
    Por lo que el protagonista pasa por una fase de ansiedad, depresión y desesperación. Cuando por fin llega a entender la realidad de su dolor, lo que mas quiere es volver a recuperar lo que ha perdido, que es el "tiempo", de ahí la imagen final donde se da un banquete para recuperar el reloj dentro del cocodrilo.
    Lección? No pierdas el tiempo alimentando a un cocodrilo (relación toxica, personas toxicas) Nada vale tanto la pena como tu valioso "tiempo", no seas estúpido, y no pierdas el tiempo en personas que no valen la pena en tu vida. Tanto si eres hombre o mujer, tu tiempo vale mucho! Saludos!

  7. B.... B....

    Director: How mysterious do you want the video to be?

    Mmm raw aligator meat

  24. K.... C....

    Essa musica é perfeita s2 nunca me canso

  25. L.... M....

    this song has the same solo of streamline

  26. S.... Q....

    This song reminds me so of soad, especially at the end before the piano part. It reminds me of the end of U-Fig

  27. r.... h....

    The last 25 seconds are some of the most haunting and beautiful melodies from Serj.

  28. M.... ....

    I now noticed how most of serj's videos are stop motion...

    M.... ....

    I noticed the same. And I noticed that the "gem eyes" in this video are the same as in the Left of Center video.

  29. m.... n....

    1:54 An acoustic Streamline version (Sorry for the bad english i am from Brazil)

    m.... n....

    Eu pensei que ele era o único que tinha notado

    m.... n....

    It has electic

  31. R.... ....

    0:15 sounds like bubbles

  32. M.... S....

    I was almost able yo understand what was going on untill the alligator came in xD

    M.... S....

    Mr Savage the alligator symbolizes the woman in the video, thanking everything, leeching off of him.

  33. F.... ....

    Probably my favorite of Serj's solo songs. Loved Harakiri and really like Imperfect Harmonies but his first record was the best.

  34. S.... ....

    Amazing song, weird video

  35. D.... T....

    solo seems streamiline

    D.... T....

    i actually thought he was gonna shout "i wasn't there for you/for goodbye" when i first heard it xD

  36. A.... S....

    I absolutely adore his voice

  37. M.... C....

    Error 312 Video.exe is on acid

  38. k.... ....

    Do you belive in me?

    k.... ....

    Do you believe in in nothing

    k.... ....

    I believe you are ugly

  39. J.... V....

    I don't know why but the bass in this song is almost breaking my headphones and making my ears go messed up... I LOVE IT!

  40. A.... G....

    I've been having this song on repeat since 2008.

  41. S.... ....

    Sick video

  48. H.... L....

    Has........ anyone......... understood the video..............? .. ._.

    H.... L....

    +Hex Luna Transilvania tal vez el cocodrilo representante... ahhh.. las cosas malas y eso de la mujer y que a la vez la mujer le quito el tiempo (por eso le quita un reloj) y ammm al final se come al cocodrilo y recupera su reloj o tiempo porque término con la chica? eso creo pues xd

    H.... L....

    +Ian Queteím Porta deja las drogas, okno XD
    supongo que esa podría ser una buena interpretación

    H.... L....

    guy loses girl, takes clock=heart with her=rips out his heart
    guy tears his hair out with loneliness in various ways as can be seen
    meets a sneaky, apex predator=predatory woman? befriends them and his loneliness goes away
    but he ends up devouring the gator in order to fill the hole where his heart used to be
    the song is about heartbreak, loneliness, social incompatibility that forces this guy to be alone
    he becomes a destructive/toxic mess.
    you could apply this to many similar situations where people are destructive and toxic and hopeless in terms of social compatibility (not the same as social ineptitude) some people just can't live so close to other people because of their issues
    maybe that's it

    H.... L....

    Organised Idiots so its basicaly last two years of my life in a nutshell :D

  49. d.... ....

    I can't get it out of my mind when my friend sang along to this but instead of "perpetrator" he kept saying "poopetrator"

  50. J.... B....

    The video reminds me of Slipknot's Vermilion.

    J.... B....

    +Justin Bennett Yeah me too. Except this one is way more surreal.

    J.... B....

    Justin Bennett a little bit but vermillion has more choppy movements in the music video.

  51. R.... T....

    its beethoven cock

    R.... T....

    Not quite.

    R.... T....

    i was think the same

  52. J.... H....

    Beethoven'a cake C:

  53. r.... ....

    Que buena cancion!!!

  54. H.... T....

    its kevin bacon eating alligator

  55. z.... t....

    la vida es un reloj que no se detiene nunca :( todo se marchita tarde o temprano
    coñ* y yo sin novia ;v

  56. E.... ....

    The lyrics gave him no good ideas for a name for this song...So he named it BEETHOVEN'S CUNT...and then did a symphonic live remake of the entire album.Well played Serj.

    E.... ....

    Is that really the reason behind the name? Always wondered why he called it that...but I disagree with him. A name like "Arms of Time" or "Civilization is on Trial" would have been AWESOME! Even something like "Do You Believe?" would have been good, too many great lyrics to choose from.

    E.... ....

    Something with serj and system is naming things without using a lyric because... well idk why

    E.... ....

    FenceDaGreat I was thinking the song could be called “Believe Me”

    E.... ....

    Why do I see you literally everywhere?

    E.... ....

    @Fetus Gayming Most of SOAD's song titles mention their lyrics somehow, an so do the ones from this album.

  57. d.... ....

    ...But lately Ive been blind

  58. E.... J....

    That's what you got when Tankian has no inspiration!

  59. s.... ....

    Cunt







    There I said it,,,, can we move along now?

  60. I.... ....

    So I missed there concert here in California a couple months ago*.... Regreting is everyday...I did see them in Irvine several years ago can't wait till they come back

  61. E.... D....

    Obama has a pet alligator just sayin

  62. A.... D....

    Am I the only one who is slightly dissappointed that Serj didn't yell Beethove's CUNT really loud. Great song still feel a little let down so I always yell it really loud when I'm by myself at the end of the song.

    A.... D....

    My fucking thoughts exactly, but it's an eye grabber

  63. J.... T....

    pretty freaking genius!

  64. B.... L....

    oh and I was thinking it was cats!

  65. o.... ....

    Getting Willem Dafoe vibes from that guy

  66. F.... A....

    no entendi una pichila el video, el tema esta bueno pero el video no lo entiendo

    F.... A....

    +franco avila solo se que le gusta los reptiles

    F.... A....

    @Piero Minaya Rojas​ jajajajaja

  67. J.... H....

    Richtig geiles Video!!!!!!

  68. R.... ....

    Streamline solo !

    R.... ....

    Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    R.... ....

    I thought he was the only one who had noticed

    R.... ....

    Yeah that annoys me

    R.... ....

    omg i thought nobody else noticed

    R.... ....

    holy shit

  69. J.... F....

    ...I wouldn't trust the alligator... just sayin'...

  70. A.... J....

    not loud enough :(

  71. K.... w....

    I want a pet alligator now. I'd try my best not to eat him. 

    K.... w....

    @Isabella Regaldo No promises though.. When ya gotta eat ya gotta eat!!! Teehee

    K.... w....

    I'd try my best not to be eaten....

    K.... w....

    +Isabella Regaldo I felt the same way after watching this XD

  72. n.... n....

    why not Beethoven's Clock?

    n.... n....

    Because 'clock' is five letters...

    n.... n....

    +ambar l
    its cake..

  73. S.... ....

    The funniest title I've ever seen xD 

    S.... ....

    Look up "This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song" by System of a Down, who ironically have Serj Tankian as their singer.

    S.... ....

    "The Mighty Masturbator"

  74. R.... ....

    The end got me fucked up

  75. J.... M....

    I literally fell off my chair laughing when I read the title XD

  76. Y.... G....

    beethoven's COCK

    Y.... G....

    Cunt...

  77. b.... ....

    respect for vid 8-)

  78. C.... P....

    The alligator he ate was turkish

  79. C.... ....

    1:53 I am the only one who recognize the solo melodie from "Streamline" ?

    C.... ....

    I always listen to Streamline after this song is over : ))

    C.... ....

    No Sire

    C.... ....

    Am I the only one that didn’t actually listen to streamline yet? Just curious.

    C.... ....

    @Person That Exists Yes

    C.... ....

    William Dunn don’t worry, I listened to it. It’s pretty good.

  80. T.... ....

    I prefer his solo carrer than him in SOAD

    T.... ....

    they are both good, can't decide which is better, his solo career of soad

    T.... ....

    i like both pretty equally but I still REALLY want SOAD back together, I can't wait for a new album, I'm very curious to hear what it will be like.

  81. S.... N....

    This guy is a lyrical genius!

  82. A.... R....

    Why the hell is this called Beethoven's Cunt? I love ya, Serj, but damn.

    A.... R....

    That seems legit. Thanks for helping me out here. c:

  83. Z.... P....

    Savrsen glas!!! Perfect voice!!!!

  84. A.... M....

    He makes such cool music

  85. j.... s....

     Beethoven's Cock

  86. I.... K....

    Why is this song so awsome? And why in 6 years just so few people have listen it?

  87. �.... ....

    So if we look back to his SOAD days, part of this song features a distorted version of Daron's "Streamline" guitar solo from their album "Steal This Album!"

    Maybe this is what Serj first envisioned for Streamline? Still, it's cool to see he did that!!

    �.... ....

    o i didnt realise that

    �.... ....

    Also, idr which songs, but both John and Shavo played on this album.

    �.... ....

    You got the clue but where does it lead? What is the message of each song individually and combined... It's never as simple as it seems when it comes to art.

  88. D.... ....

    del 1 al 10       1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [10]  obio 10

  89. L.... ....

    This song is about a gold digger. The woman takes his things, including the clock. She becomes the alligator, showing that she is cold-blooded like one, and the alligator sort of ignores the man's affection. He manages to get his time back from her, the time he wasted.

    L.... ....

    That is so true. I have an uncle and aunt who are divorcing because she gets influenced by her girl friends to go out where a married woman shouldn't go without her husband. She says its because he never takes her anywhere but my uncle is the only one that works -__- She always smells like Macy's...

    L.... ....

    This is actually a really good explanation but "Civilization is on trial" makes a very strong statement that differs from the subject of what you said

    L.... ....

    @Faris Fawkes
    It´s Serj´s trademark ;-)

    L.... ....

    @Liviliveevil where a married woman shouldn't go without her husband????? are you kidding me? :/  

    L.... ....

    Ilaria Berardi Like singles bars or something. Same if a married man did that. But this person said it really badly.

  90. S.... P....

    that alligator is silly C:

    S.... P....

    until he ate him :C

  91. T.... ....

    If you only watch one man cross dress this year, let it be this one!

  92. T.... ....

    Austria loves you, please make a concert in Vienna <3

    T.... ....

    only if you get RAMMSTEIN to come to the UK

    T.... ....

    @jamie MacKenzie
    Sorry dear, but Rammstein belongs to Germany^^ you can have Kontrust, they are Austrian

    T.... ....

    hell no Rammstein are GODS there mine 

    T.... ....

    Liked just for profile pic <3

  93. C.... C....

    i love this song best song ever.

  94. H.... ....

    Is that... A peter pan reference? The crocodile stealing time, represented through a clock?

    H.... ....

    You stupid

  95. N.... G....

    dude.... his gf was there all along.. she was the alligator... he ate her..

  96. P.... G....

    the best of Serj !!!!!

  97. M.... D....

    But.. The meaning of this video?? Ahahahah Serj <3 

  98. T.... F....

    Gotta love what Serj comes up with!!

  99. P.... P....

    I wanna pet the alligator!!!!
