The meaning of this song isn't to hard to figure out if you know some of Serj's life. I always wondered why SOAD never had many love songs or relationship songs if you can even count the chorus of Prison Song, Roulette or Streamline as those type of songs, most bands this is all they write. Though all of Serj's or System's songs have dual meanings or even multi meanings for one song, this is the closest to just having really one meaning. Anyway back to the song, apparently sometime after System's first album was released Serj went through a divorce. The proof of this is still debate-able though, the lyrical book that came along with it makes references to it, and also some songs to on the CD as well.
The title Beethovens C*** alludes to his former lover (a composers girl). Most of the lyrics of the songs is self explanatory but here is where most fans defer in the meaning of the streamline guitar solo in this song. Some say he threw it in for the fans, I agree with others that it alludes to the actual song and that he was able to see through the streamline and that he actually loves her. Too bad though, she doesn't love him. Easily one of Serj's best, great song.
