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.

Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This one time couldn't get enough
Life was kind of cold but you were like a fire
Flaring up, couldn't get it out
Hey, I can remember what you said to me when we were young
Hey, nothing's forever, can't you see
You come to mind
And it's worse than the TV ads
That's when I get cold again despite the time
Freezing up, couldn't get it out
Hey, I can remember what you said to me, when we were young
Hey, nothing's forever, can't you see
Stains, I will remember like you said to me when we were young
Stains will last forever, can't you see
The song "Stains" by Caesar is a reflection on the memory of a time when life was more exciting and vibrant, but also more chaotic and unfocused. The singer vividly remembers a person from their past who was like a fire, burning brightly and passionately, and how they were caught up in this intense energy, unable to get enough of it. However, over time, the novelty wore off and life became mundane and cold again. The memories of this intense time are like stains that cannot be forgotten, a reminder of what life used to be like and what it could be again.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with nostalgia and trying to come to terms with the fact that the past cannot be relived. The repetition of the phrase "couldn't get it out" emphasizes the power of these memories and suggests that they are difficult to shake. The refrain of "nothing's forever, can't you see" reinforces the idea that time moves on and things change, even when we don't want them to.
Overall, "Stains" is a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of youth and the power of memory to shape our perceptions of the past and present.
Line by Line Meaning
This is how it all began, I can recall
Remembering the start of something that led to everything else
This one time couldn't get enough
A moment of desire that was insatiable
Life was kind of cold but you were like a fire
Life was empty and lacking, but you brought passion and excitement
Flaring up, couldn't get it out
The flame of excitement and passion was overwhelming and couldn't be tamed
Hey, I can remember what you said to me when we were young
Recalling advice given by someone when they were young
Hey, nothing's forever, can't you see
The realization that nothing lasts forever, even the good times
Time and time and time again
Multiple instances of the same thing happening over and over
You come to mind
The person is thought of often
And it's worse than the TV ads
The thoughts of the person are more painful than annoying commercials
That's when I get cold again despite the time
Despite time having passed, the feeling of emptiness and coldness returns
Freezing up, couldn't get it out
The cold and empty feeling is overwhelming and can't be escaped
Stains, I will remember like you said to me when we were young
Memories of the person will always be with the artist, as the person said they would be
Stains will last forever, can't you see
The mark or impact the person had on the singer will remain for a long time
