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.
Dogs
Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to see the dogs and their hungry smiles
It's very sad, I want to get out
I don't have to build a future out of dry food and bones
Or very soon
You can make me sit and roll over play dead
Would be so damn nice
I don't want to be your dog for the rest of my life
I'm all set to get out
I'm all set to get out of this voluntary cage
My future was made
I had a lot going my way, no way,
Always a serpentine smile, for the foolish grind
But then the sun sets suddenly nothing will remain the same
I'll keep this up until I feel the darkness is around me
They are still around me, I can feel 'em coming
They are all around me, and I'm going under
My, my, my
So beware, there is always something else we find to fear
It is not OK, it's a shame. I could blame it on the way we were raised
And if this is wrong
You can make me sit and roll over play dead
Would be so damn nice, I'll look back on my dog days as the best of my life
I'll keep it up until I feel the darkness is around me
Caesar's song "Dogs" is about breaking free from a life that is being controlled by someone else. The opening lyrics "You have opened my eyes / I don't want to see the dogs and their hungry smiles" suggests that Caesar has started to see through a facade that he has been living and is no longer content with it. Caesar does not want to live a life based on survival in a metaphorical sense, because to him it is no better than being a dog - living only for food and basic necessities.
To Caesar, the future he had planned for himself has been taken away, and he is trapped in a metaphorical cage. With the lyrics "I'm all set to get out...they are still around me, I can feel 'em coming", Caesar is trying to escape this cage and the people who have led him there. He knows that there will be obstacles, but he is determined to get out and confront them.
Towards the end of the song, Caesar acknowledges that fear will always be present in some form in his life, but this does not stop him from pushing forward. The lyrics “You can make me sit and roll over play dead / Would be so damn nice, I’ll look back on my dog days as the best of my life / I’ll keep it up until I feel the darkness is around me” illustrate Caesar’s determination to keep pushing forward and living life on his own terms.

I'm all set to get out of this voluntary cage
I am ready to break free from my own limitations
My future was made
I thought I had everything planned out for myself
I had a lot going my way, no way,
Things seemed to be in my favor, but it wasn't meant to be
Always a serpentine smile, for the foolish grind
People around me would deceive me for their own gain
But then the sun sets suddenly nothing will remain the same
Something unexpected happened that changed everything
I'll keep this up until I feel the darkness is around me
I will continue to fight until I am surrounded by the negative aspects of this situation
They are still around me, I can feel 'em coming
The people who want to control me are still present and trying to manipulate me
They are all around me, and I'm going under
I am in danger of being controlled by these people
So beware, there is always something else we find to fear
We must always be vigilant of our surroundings and circumstances
It is not OK, it's a shame. I could blame it on the way we were raised
This situation is not acceptable and it's unfortunate that it may be due to our upbringing
And if this is wrong
If there is something causing this to be incorrect or unfair
You can make me sit and roll over play dead
I won't let anyone control me like a dog
Would be so damn nice, I'll look back on my dog days as the best of my life
It would be a relief to have more control over my life and I won't regret not conforming to someone else's rules
I'll keep it up until I feel the darkness is around me
I will continue to fight until I feel I am in danger

When i was in the Air Force, about 22 years old, i got myself dobbie and started reading books and training.
I got pretty good at obedience training and I guess someone saw how much I liked my dog and how well trained it was.
I can't remember how it happened, but one of the dogs from the doberman gang was retiring from acting and i was offered the dog.
I loved that movie too and couldn't believe i got the opportunity to have one.
Dobbies are just so smart that it's almost like cheating because they learn so fast. 😊✌️

I’ve seen just about EVERY self-proclaimed dog whisperer there is on YouTube. Cesar is in a class of his own. He will always be the GOAT by miles and miles.

He reads dogs perfectly! He morphs while watching each dog, like he’s part dog too. Incredible.

No one wants a spoiled dog or kid by coddling them to the point where they don’t respect you as a pack leader. Kids copy and amplify what they witness from the parent’s behavior of Mom not listening to Dad because of false masculinity, feminism, and Fathers not listening to Mom because of genetic predisposition masculinity, which makes it appear that no one is in charge and everyone is fighting for their own selfish way as the kids learn to fight the parents from the parents. Since equal partnership debates or fights are only ended by a compromise, kids see debate compromise as love and respect, because that is all they know from the ones they love. So, when a parent wants obedience from their kid, the kid sees it as disrespect without love. Why? (Because the kid didn’t get a debate followed by a compromise) Parents don’t recognize this as the problem and think it’s the way it is and give up. Gov’t, Church, Army, Coaches, and Successful Businesses use 1 leader and not 2 equal leaders. Your family is a team. Who is the leader? Kids learn arguing from the parents until they turn parenting into a time consuming debate/compromise and not discipline, just as a bad behaved dog does, which leads kids to see bad behavior as a compromise and not a definite no.

I love Cesar’s sense of humor! He is not only wise; he is so much fun!!
❤U, Cesar!!

I’ve owned both breeds. They need at least 1-2 hours exercise per day. On a good note, the Doberman takes to training quickly and the Rottweiler listens very well.
Diana Nolen
So amazing to see Cypher and Oli's progress from anxiety aggressive dogs to these beautiful wonderful dogs they're meant to be!
All because of you Cesar!!❤️❤️❤️
Loved seeing you in the avocado outfit!🥰🥰
