Actually, I thought it really was "hail Caesar" until I listened to it closely. The lyrics start of with "well" on a down beat, then are followed with "she's a shadow in my backseat. When I first heard it, "hail Caesar" didn't make sense when the next line "and her friends are standing right in front of me" was said. Caesar defenitely is not a "her" and he didn't have many friends. The Caesar part is probably what messes people up when they try to figure out a meaning because the first verse all ties together. Basically what he's saying in the first verse is that there's some girl that's so overshadowed by him she has become a metaphorical shadow in the backseat of a car now (which, in my opinion, is a very nice metaphor). This girl is so overshadowed that her friends are now giving all their attention to him, screaming that they and and everybody else love him. This goes more with your idea of the song being a rant, but in addition to that, it seems to be a rub in the face towards a certain girl about how he has taken all the spotlight from him. As for the "Hope I'll remember the good things that I'll never may" line; maybe he's hoping to remember something that might not stay in his memory for some reason. If the lyrics in that line aren't right then the meaning is a little different. |

I think the song is about how he can go through life enjoying it and doing whatever he wants and people will love him no matter what. And by "cause they got what you need", I think he means that people are ready to back him up for whatever he does. Some of the lyrics aren't right, it shouldn't be "Hail Caesar, shadow in my backseat" it should be "Well hell, she's a shadow in my backseat" and "Worldwide from the center of Turkey" isn't quite right either. It's not the center of Turkey, he's naming a place in Turkey. I'm not sure what the name of that place is though, it's hard to hear. If anybody is able to figure out the place, it's gonna be "Worldwide from (place),Turkey" Also, "Hope I'll remember the good things that I'll never may And you don't have to make a sound 'Cause they got what you need" should be "Hope I'll remember the good things that I'll never may 'Cause you don't have to make a sound When they got what you need" |

This is just a shot in the dark, but maybe it's some type of conflict, and by "they" the band means the opposing side. The song talks about how "they" have all the right things to win, so "we're" going to lose. It's just a guess though. Oh, and I'm not sure if this matters much to anybody but "And we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers" should be "Then we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers" And I think "They got all the right moves in all the right places" should be "They got all the right moves and all the right places", until the very last time it's said, then it's as it is already. |
