Caesar Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love makers tremble with fear
Backstabbers probably hear

[Chorus]
Walk
Walk

[Verse 2]
Backstabbers tremble with fear
Love makers 'll probably hear

[Chorus]
Walk
Walk
Walk
Walk

[Verse 3]
Why must the people cry
Why must the people cry for me
Why must the people cry
Why must the people cry for me
Why must the people cry
Why must the people cry for me
Why must the people cry
Why must the people cry for me
Why must the people cry
Why must the people cry for me
Why must the people cry
Why must the people cry for me

Genius Annotation

In short Ty is singing about his frustration with people intruding into each other’s lives, but the lyrics are more about atmosphere than being meaningful.

The song title is open to interpretation. It’s likely the embodiment of the people it’s aimed at: it is synonymous with the forceful Roman emperors and with the word “seize”.
