The lyrics of Ty Segall's song "Caesar" are short but enigmatic. The repetition of the phrase "love makers tremble with fear, backstabbers probably hear" seems to imply a sense of tension and danger. The use of antonyms here, with "love makers" opposed to "backstabbers", suggests a dichotomy between those who are honest and those who are deceitful. The phrase "backstabbers tremble with fear, love makers 'll probably hear" serves as a kind of inversion of the first line, suggesting that the roles of fear and hearing may be reversed depending on the situation.
The repeated use of the word "walk" suggests a sense of motion or direction, perhaps implying that the singer or speaker is moving through an environment in which they are wary of potential threats. The final section of the lyrics shifts to a question: "why must the people cry for me?" It is unclear who the "people" are or what they are crying about, but the repetition of this question implies a sense of confusion or frustration on the part of the singer. It is possible that the reference to "Caesar" in the song's title refers to the Roman emperor Julius Caesar, who famously faced opposition and betrayal from his own allies.
