During an interview Serj was asked about why he called the song what he did. He simply replied that it was for fun. That during other interviews with multiple journalists he found it absolutely hilarious hearing them all say Beethoven's Cunt in different accents etc. He did it for the joke, the controversy and the hype it would get the song/album me thinks.
to me the song is a meta-piece describing an artist's paradoxical relationship between his art and his muse. The muse draws him into creativity but also pulls him away from the artistic forms through which he must create. The song describes disillusionment experienced by both the artist and his muse and portrays this breaking down of meaning as sort of inter-personal apocalypse.
+Tiago Maia I think thats because its a nostalgic song. Serj made that song in memory of the good old times with s.o.a.d, it also make sense if you listen to the lyrics particulary in this solo... but im just theorising !
I think that this is just as amazing as a SOAD album, and personally, I don't feel like there's a need to even think about the hiatus thing. Just enjoy the great music, I say.
@sochioranmyaku Yep. I also found that in the song by SOAD "Marmalade", he says "If today I day and can't deny" and Serj reused that in the second verse of Left of Center.
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 profits, Nor the riches in your dreams...

Finally someone has used the word cunt in music successfully. The sex pistols tried saying cunt on TV to revolotionise profanity in music with pretty vacant
I agree. The self-titled was the best album, and Toxicity was a great breakout sophomore record. Now even though more people have a hard-on for them in the mainstream, the music is much more repetitive and self-indulgent. This has happened to too many bands in the past few years. At least it's reassuring that we're seeing the reuniting of many great 90's bands like Rage ATM and STP, and the pushing forward of others like Radiohead, NIN, and Tool.

I'm the only person I know (at least around where I live) who knows the names of all the SOAD members. I guess they're just not as big a fan of them as me. Serj Tankian-vocals Daron Malakian-guitar Shavo Odadjian-bass John Dolmayan-drums BTW, 11y11 needs to stfu. I think I may've spelled all of those right...heh.

Best title ever...

Chill
I like your speak
but his from system of a down not muse
wow!!!this song is so awsome!!!
Saw them at soundwave, in the mosh right up the front. best time of my life!
yeah!! love this song
This solo is from Streamline...
+Tiago Maia I think thats because its a nostalgic song. Serj made that song in memory of the good old times with s.o.a.d, it also make sense if you listen to the lyrics particulary in this solo... but im just theorising !
Implying that artists don't copy sounds from other bands or from their older works
I never noticed this until now and I've been listening to this record for close to 10 years
Schectler serj probably wrote that solo. The songs blue, charades and elect the dead all started out as system songs
Hell yeah!
I think that this is just as amazing as a SOAD album, and personally, I don't feel like there's a need to even think about the hiatus thing. Just enjoy the great music, I say.
damn i love when the part: you left me all alone, left in time you left me here to dieeeeeeee
AMASING!
SAW THEM LIVE LAST YEAR FUCKING GREAT!

Serj rocks!
I love this song... especially the chorus and 2:02 -

Gabriel Soares I thought I was the only one who saw it. My friends are idiots
Vermillion Three wow... what a douche.

@sochioranmyaku Yep. I also found that in the song by SOAD "Marmalade", he says "If today I day and can't deny" and Serj reused that in the second verse of Left of Center.

Minutes Thanks
the clocks are lemonade in time
@obsessedwgaming
do you have a gamertag thats also obsessedwgaming??
@youngfishingboy3333 They are back together.. I saw them live a few months ago xD
Ive been trying to buy this song in Rock Band but its not letting me buy it. How did you bought it?
tour
another album

now you told him, and hes going to go around the playground saying it like the baller he is.
yea
on mtv site daron says hold your breath for a system album :(
Thats the name of the song.
This song is actually kinda cool. :D
My shit..
like TIN
So what? It sounds awesome.
the solo of this song is the song of soad stremeline
Did John Dolmayan do the drums for the song? Sounds like John doing the drums
Well, John helped Serj with some drum lines on this album, so it’s likely that this is one of the songs that John helped
@youngfishingboy3333 System have been back for a WHILE xD.
Thrusday for PS3 :@
At least we have pixel junk monsters :P
you're right, it sounds a bit like streamline
@mynameipie I'm half Indian and I was studying Human Geography. Indians are "technically" considered South Asian. They aren't their own race. Race would be black, white, asian, latino. Indians are not considered their own race.
This song has some gothic influences in it.
This song just shows how far Serj and System have fallen since Self Titled and Toxicity.... This Song is Attrocious!
this might just be me, but im not sure how many other people are named Serj Tankian.
sounds like a song system would do, 5/5
Hang on, was that Streamline at 1:50?
Yeah
this isn't the album version, the intro's glitchy
Rock Band is well cool
can it happen
@NYR4LIF That's cause SERJ is the singer of system of a down -,-'
In the UK it's slang for a silly person. In the US it's the most offensive and derogatory term (to the vast majority) for a woman or her lady-bits.
i think serj wanted us not to know
evry person who disses serj needs help he is da best
So, what does this song mean to you?
Beethoven was a cunt.
Creep Show I can see it now!
He truly was XD
yea Scars on Broadway
I guess the thing that makes this song good is the "streamline" solo...come on serj!
+Jaba Bokolishvili STFU
+Jared Allen Not trying to be an a-hole but come on! why would he?
Jaba Bokolishvili It's one of his best solo pieces IMO
umadbro?!
2:00 - 2:10 is the same from System of a Down - Streamline 2:20 > 2:40!
Streamline: watch?v=zQhZU7i41Gs&feature=endscreen&NR=1
2:55
@strikeatic WTF??? What did I do???
Could anyone tell me the meaning of the word cunt? it is a slang?
Lucas O Questionado It's a very nasty word for vagina, used mostly as an insult
lol i didnt even know what i was responding to i just joined the party xP
This Serj guy sounds exactly like System of a Down. Coincidence?
He is the guy from System of a Down.
I never saw Serj and the lead singer of the system of a down in the same place, coincidence? I think not
dammit sorry i meant that for 4rchM4g3..youtube needes to fix that if you reply to a comment it should put it under that comment..not at the top
@slimsanta100 dude did you read the other comment i posted xD
is this song about halo 3 sory my english is bad
Rock Band...Yes!!! Maybe we will finally get System Of A Down
vito445, it's because the band split. ;) There is no longer SOAD =(
solo sounds like mr jack from steal this albumn
I'm the only person I know (at least around where I live) who knows the names of all the SOAD members. I guess they're just not as big a fan of them as me.
Serj Tankian-vocals
Daron Malakian-guitar
Shavo Odadjian-bass
John Dolmayan-drums
BTW, 11y11 needs to stfu.
I think I may've spelled all of those right...heh.
This version is much better than Rock Band =)
No, he's the lead singer of The Beatles.
