Through equal parts perseverance and good fortune, he has managed to compose a band of enigmatic, mesmerizing characters who together, both entice and enthrall. Guitarist Eric Saez, an NYU accredited thespian, brings with him an animal magnetism not be denied. Andrea Choe, the quixotic keyboardist whose curricular activities include PhD research of parasitic reproduction, manages to dance the fine line between erotically charged and untouchable; Zach Schrock, the drummer eliciting unwitting hip-thrusts from the would-be disaffected, alternates his time as a keen photographer. Casxio has developed an impressive retinue, hailed by critics and garnering a loyal following of revelers, (including cohorts Sam Sparro, Yelle and Datarock).

Seventeen
Casxio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They wonder what I know,
What I won't let them see
(Only 17 but my love is for real)
They wonder who I'm with
Your secret's safe with me (Only 17)

I just want you to know
I just want you to know

I just want you to know
Just how I feel...

Only 17

They wonder what I know,
What I won't let them see

Wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder...

I want to write you a note,
That you'll never read
My friends keep telling me I shouldn't beg and plead

I just want you to know
I just want you to know
I just want you to know just how I feel

Only 17 but my love is for real
Only 17 but my love

Only 17!
Only 17!
Only 17!

They wonder what I know,
What I won't let them see

Wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Casxio's song Seventeen portrays a young girl who is in love with someone, but is unable to express her emotions freely. The girl is only seventeen years old, and this is the age where she starts to experience love and relationships in a different light. The girl is hiding her feelings from other people, and they wonder what she knows and what she doesn't reveal. She feels that her love is genuine, even at this young age.

The girl is secretive and keeps her lover's identity a secret. She keeps her friend's secrets safe, and in return, she expects her secrets to remain confidential. The girl wants to write a note to her lover, but she is afraid that he would never read it. Her friends advise her not to beg and plead for love, but the girl just wants her lover to know how she feels. She is only seventeen, but her love is for real.

In summary, the song describes the emotions of a young girl who is in love and wants to express her feelings but is scared of being rejected or judged. The song conveys a sense of innocence and newness to love, portraying the fragility of teenage love.

If this is the way Skrillex fans are, then I feel ashamed to have introduced him to my roommate all those months ago. Guys, this is a joke. However, the punchline isn't the fact that he's dressed like a girl. -looks at you-
