2) a Danish protest/folk singer
3) a progressive metal-core band located in the Southern Michigan/Northern Indiana area in the United States
1) Caesar was a three-piece indie rock band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands (1994-2008), consisting of Roald van Oosten (vocals, guitar), Sem David Bakker (bass) and Marit de Loos (drums). Their début album, Clean (1996), was the very first release of Holland's prestigious Excelsior Recordings label. The band would release three more studio albums: No Rest For The Alonely (1998), Leaving Sparks (2000) and the self-titled Caesar (2003). They were one of the most popular indie rock bands in The Netherlands around the year 2000, played almost every major Dutch festival, won a 'Silver Harp' and toured internationally.
Following a sabbatical year (2005), the group released Before My band Explodes (2006), a compilation of outtakes and rarities. The band arranged a 'farewell gig' in the Melkweg in Amsterdam in April 2008 - and called it a day.
Frontman, Roald van Oosten, continued to release music, first with his shirt-lived new group, Ghost Trucker (2006). 2016 saw the release of his first solo album.
2) Cæsar is Bjarne Bøgesø Rasmussen (May 15, 1938 - April 22, 2000), a Danish protest/folk singer.
3) The American Caesar formed in December 2010, and while none of the members can call the same town home, they have all found a home within Caesar. Caesar hits the pavement as much as possible and having members from Michigan and Indiana, they make sure that whenever they are given a stage to play on they make sure to leave their mark. The live performance of this group is what they pride themselves on, and they entertain in a manner that fans won't soon forget. As for the music, it can stand on its own. The way in which the music of Caesar is delivered through speakers is for lack of a better word: aggressive.It can be found in the rhythmic attack from the instruments and the chilling delivery of the vocals. The music is high energy and unceasing. Caesar has hopes to find a home in an industry that is constantly changing. With the groups first full length expected in the early summer 2012, Caesar is putting all they have into creating a unique music experience that they are going to give back to every single person that has supported them.
Before My Head Explodes
Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whenever I go wrong
Been going on too long
Please (I know) repeat it after me (I know)
This stuff that makes me see (I know)
You're better off than me (I know)
It shouldn't be too long
Before my head explodes
I'll be traveling again
I'll live to see the end of this
All right, it's time to let it go
All right, it's early but I'll go
See what's happening to you
You gotta know it too
I'm sadder off than you
Please (I know) repeat it after me (I know)
This stuff has made me see (I know)
You're better off than me (I know)
l go walking to the sun
It shouldn't be too long
Before my head explodes
I'll be traveling again
I'll live to see the end of this
All right, it's time to let it go
All right, it's early but I'll go
All right, you never really know
The lyrics of Caesar's song "Before My Head Explodes" seem to be about the overwhelming feeling of being trapped in a difficult situation and needing to escape it. The opening line, "I go walking to the sun," suggests a journey towards enlightenment or resolution. The repetition of "Please (I know) repeat it after me (I know)" and "This stuff that makes me see (I know)" implies the singer is seeking affirmation from someone else, perhaps trying to convince themselves that they can make it through. This is reinforced in the line "You're better off than me (I know)," where they compare themselves unfavorably to someone else.
The repeated line "Before my head explodes" suggests the singer is close to reaching their breaking point, but they assure themselves they will keep going and "live to see the end of this." The final lines, "All right, it's time to let it go / All right, it's early but I'll go / All right, you never really know," seem to be both a resignation to the situation and a determination to move forward despite uncertainty.
Overall, the lyrics could be interpreted as a message of hope in the face of adversity. While the situation may seem difficult and overwhelming, the singer encourages themselves and others to keep moving towards the light and to believe that they will make it through.

I go walking to the sun
Trying to escape from my problems by going towards the light
Whenever I go wrong
I tend to wander off the right path
Been going on too long
My issues have been persisting for an extended period
Please (I know) repeat it after me (I know)
As a plea for others to understand the troubles I am facing
This stuff that makes me see (I know)
Acknowledging that my struggles have affected my perception
You're better off than me (I know)
Realizing that other people may not be going through the same ordeals as me
It shouldn't be too long
Remaining hopeful that a resolution is near

Encouraging others to face their own problems head-on

I'm sadder off than you
Implying that my issues may be more severe than the listener's
All right, you never really know
Admitting that everyone's battles are different and can't be fully understood by others
