Maximus
Joachim Garraud feat. A Girl & A Gun Lyrics

The lyrics of Joachim Garraud feat Ze's song Maximus refer to the ancient Roman practice of holding chariot races, gladiator battles, and other spectacles at the Circus Maximus. In the first verse, the lyrics describe the desperation of those who were thrown bread from the wealthy but then forced to perform in the circus, either riding horses or fighting as gladiators in their battle dresses. Despite being oppressed, they still scream and push through the performances, entering into the circus Maximus.

In the chorus, the recurring phrase "You know I love you baby, Maximus" is somewhat open to interpretation, but it could be interpreted as a declaration of love for the spectacle, the excitement and danger of the circus Maximus. It's possible that the phrase "you know you wanna wanna" is a hint at the seductive appeal of the circus, and its ability to draw in those who might be hesitant or afraid to participate.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a fascination with the spectacle and danger of the Circus Maximus, as well as with the idea of oppression and exploitation in general. It's possible that the song also hints at a desire to break free from these oppressive cycles and reclaim some sense of agency and self-determination.
