Unto Caesar
Unto Caesar: Reflections on Fate & Responsibility
Lyrics
Accident or intention?
Questioning whether an event was accidental or deliberate.
It's already history
That event has already become a part of the past.
Random or intelligent?
Contemplating whether the event was random or guided by intelligence.
The mud marching to victory
Symbolizing a messy or chaotic situation leading to triumph.
Innocent or innocent enough to say
Being innocent or appearing innocent enough to claim innocence despite actions taken.
I did what I did, I did what I did
Repeatedly affirming accountability for actions performed.
Only win, done, unto to Caesar
Only aiming to win, emphasizing actions directed towards benefiting oneself.
Scolding on illegible
Reprimanding or criticizing something that cannot be understood or deciphered.
You kept yourself hidden well
Praising someone's ability to conceal themselves effectively.
Strolling and inflexible
Moving casually but being inflexible or unyielding in one's ways.
The world asked you for nothing else
Expressing that the world expects nothing more from someone.
So I'm forward like no imaginable breeze
Moving boldly or confidently like a breeze beyond imagination.
Moral as a leaf to fall in to the seas
Comparing one's morality to a leaf falling into the vastness of the seas, suggesting insignificance.
Land down unto Caesar
Yielding or submitting to a higher authority or power.
When the gray-scale conjurer bad bet
Describing a manipulator who deals with ambiguous situations or probabilities.
Where the life like perjurers ride it
Where life's deceivers or liars ride.
Where the vestite spectators watch it
Where observers watch events while clothed or veiled.
Where the weapons gentlers gun it
Where those handling weapons manage or control them gently.
Where the twilight mandolin play it
Where musical instruments evoke the twilight atmosphere.
Where the high custodian my bet
Where someone responsible for safeguarding something is present.
Where the panic violin, panic
Where panic or chaos is stirred by a violin.
Where the crabby handmade, scrub it
Where someone grumpily or irritably works on something by hand.
Dandelion, down the mercenary barberry
Describing a dandelion, a symbol of fragility, near a ruthless and aggressive barberry bush.
Dandelion did the morals morbid poetry
Questioning the dark and grim nature of morals reflected in poetry.
Down the rampart, the vandals give into defeat
Depicting surrender or yielding by vandals in the face of defeat.
And down the landscape, the lamb and pastor far away
Referring to a pastoral scene where innocence is distanced from chaotic events.
Land down unto Caesar
Reiteration of yielding or submitting to a higher authority or power.
Land down unto Caesar
Reiterating yielding or submission to a higher authority or power.
