Simon the Ghost
Caesar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I was tied to your eyes
My life wasn't mine anymore
I said: "Well allright, here we go"
We're all on a track and there's no way back

You know how I love to uncover
The secrets that you wouldn't show
No myth lasts a lifetime I know
We're all on a track and there's no way back

Yeah here's Simon the Ghost
From the past we all know
Not a glorious time
And yeah here's Simon the Ghost
Here at last whatcha know
Maybe time to be on your way

It will be all right
You can come right in
I believe I tried
Every other thing

You can shoot me down
Should this be your thing
There's a lot to lose
And a lot to win

It will be allright
You can come right in
I believe we tried
Every other thing

It could be allright
It could be right in
I believe I tried
I believe I've tried

Yeah here's Simon the Ghost
From the past we all know
Not a glorious time
And yeah here's Simon the Ghost




Here at last whatcha know
Maybe time to be on your way yeah

Overall Meaning

The beginning of these lyrics suggests that the singer was involved in a relationship where they felt tied to the other person, as if their life was no longer their own. They resigned themselves to this fate, accepting that they were on a track with no way back. The singer then reveals that they have a desire to uncover the secrets that their partner withheld. They believe that nothing they hide can be concealed forever, and eventually it will become public knowledge.


The mention of Simon the Ghost suggests that this song might be an allegory for a celebrity, a historical figure or just a character the singer made up. Simon the Ghost is someone from the past, which was not a glorious time, we don’t know exactly what Simon represents but it is clear that he is not around anymore. The lyrics could be interpreted to mean that sometimes you have to move on, sometimes it is time to be on your way. It seems as though the singer has attempted to try everything to fix their situation, but despite their efforts, they might have to give up and move on. The repeated phrase “It will be alright” is a reassuring thought for the singer and the listener that perhaps things will improve in time.
