Ching Chime Lyrics

Why make time when no one pays a dime
To remunerate a rhyme over the ching chime
Ch-ch ch-ching chime
Ch-ch ch-ching chime

Creating a crime, just start with Melodie
Looking at a mime, the rhymes are all mine
But no one pays no mind, over the ching chime
Ch-ch ch-ching chime, ch-ch ch-ching chime

In the daytime, face covered by the grime
Sucking on a lime, when no one pays no mind
Slapping on a rhyme, over the ching chime
Over the ching chime, ch-ch ch-ching chime

Super Bowl half time, any time is war time
SIR! seasons past time, gonorrhea over time
F*** that and spread time, no a friend of mine
Over the ching chime, ch-ch ch-ching chime

I’ll f*** your mind over the spring time
Degrading in your prime, and thoughts so asinine
But no one pays no mind, and no one pays a dime
Over the ching chime, ch-ch ch-ching chime

Open your eyes, don’t be this way
Though all your dreams are swept away
The stairs will rise from yesterday
Your tears and fears all melt away

Super Bowl half time, any time is war time
SIR! seasons past time, gonorrhea over time
F*** that and spread time, no a friend of mine
Over the ching chime, ch-ch ch-ching chime

I’ll f*** your mind over the spring time
Degrading in your prime, and thoughts so asinine
But no one pays a dime, and no one pays a dime
Over the ching chime, ch-ch ch-ching chime

Open your eyes, don’t be this way
Though all your dreams are swept away
The stairs will rise from yesterday
Your tears and fears all melt away

The waters will rush but don’t dismay
As smiles will cross the world will stay
The bridge has crossed itself today
Now close your eyes and sway this way, sway this way

Open your eyes, don’t be this way
Though all your dreams are swept away
The stairs will rise from yesterday
Your tears and fears all melt away

The waters will rush but don’t dismay
As smiles will cross the world will stay
The bridge has crossed itself today
Now close your eyes and sway this way, sway this way

I remunerate a rhyme over the ching chime
Ch-ch ch-ching chime
Ch-ch ch-ching chime

Creating a crime, just starting with Melodie
Looking at a mime, the rhymes are all mine
But no one pays no mind
Over the ching chime, ching chime

In the day time face covered by the grime
Sucking on a lime when no one pays no mind
Slamming on a rhyme, over the ching chime
Over the ching chime, ching chime

While I'm not quite sure what the specific meaning of this song is, I think it has something to do with the unfairness of the music industry or how artist are losing money because people pirate their music instead of actually supporting them.

My Interpretation

I really hope you're fucking kidding. I'm 99.99 percent sure the last thing Serj wants is your money, the music is what it's about to him. I made an account just to tell you you're an ass hole.

Woah, dude chill. I'm not saying that money is all he wants, but Serj did say in an interview "The piracy of music has caused a contraction in the industry as we know it, which in turn, has caused labels to focus even less on artist development and focus on the few easy hits. The reach of music and the popular rise of music listening has risen dramatically further through piracy and that's great, of course. So it's really not an easy thing to take sides on. I think people should support artists financially so that artists continue what they...

I'll be honest. I have this CD and I didn't buy it. I haven't bought a CD since I discovered Limewire. Sorry Serj, I love your music and I can't afford to buy CD's. So if its about people like me, I'm sorry for being such a bum.

If you're referring to my comment, I wasn't saying that I shared those exact view points. Hell, I download free music all the time. I just sort of thought that's what the song might have been about, didn't mean to cause any upset or to guilt people. I completely understand not being able to pay a dollar for 500 songs that you could just get free, and hopefully most musicians will value fans over money :)

The key to figuring out this song would be figuring out what the 'ching chime' is.

Cover art for Ching Chime lyrics by Serj Tankian

I believe the song refers to how music can overlay anything in life - an idea, an activity, an injustice to a group of people. Music is therapeutic - we are truly reliant on it to get through seconds, minutes, hours, days. Through difficult times in our lives, boring times, painful times. We need music to understand our world and then to be OK with our world - no matter how twisted, corrupt, or unfair it is. We need it to understand our own emotions and express those emotions. It is a natural byproduct of who we are as humans. This song can explain why there is a songmeanings.com even.

So I have deciphered one lyric in here due to the fact that none of the ones on the internet make sense and I'm actually trying to figure out the meanings line by line. After Serj says "Anytime is war time" It sounds like he says "psychic sees his" or "second seasons" or whatever else is our there, but It is because there is a back round noise of one of his little (hey!) noises immediately following what he actually says in between the two words. What its actually says is "Anytime is war time, !SIR! Seasons past time. Which helps alot with the meaning.
