MAESTRO
Kaizer´s Orchestra Lyrics

The lyrics to Kaizer's Orchestra's song "Maestro" reflect on the artist's past accomplishments and losses, and the impact of time on their creations. They begin by observing the work they have created and reflecting on the lives that have slipped away in the process. The artist notes that what was once level and stable has become unsettled and shaken. Despite this, they acknowledge that time has been kind to their work, and they have built it up, brick by brick, with steadfast determination. They have faced their challenges head-on and have not shied away from difficult situations or confrontations. They are proud of what they have accomplished and have maintained their integrity throughout the process.

The chorus reveals the artist's understanding that they are just one in a long line of creators who have come before and those who will come after. They implore others to continue to pursue their craft and hone their skills, but to also be respectful of those who came before them. They caution against getting too caught up in comparisons or competition and encourage a sense of camaraderie among artists. The final lines refer to Clementine, a character from the popular folk song "Oh My Darling, Clementine," and suggest that if the two were together, they could build something great - a dynasty like that of the flamingos.
