Cassius

why's the video gross?? have we seen the same one??

love the track, even if I can't stop hearing 'these daydreams are gay' instead of 'okay'...

Kudos to brain_case for his skillful avoidance of any relevant points and creating one hell of a strawman argument. Amazing how the mere mention of the word "vegan" sets him off on myth-laden rants--insecure much? For anyone else: http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/

Forget the video; the song's addictive and fun.

erm..its about cassius cale.i.e muhammed ali.i heard yannis say that on radio one. incidentally jo whileys son is called cassius

poeticool, Cassius Clay? Don’t know whether Yannis is referring to the man who favoured abolishing slavery, or Muhammad Ali, the boxer.

Yeah. Good song, quite simple, leaves me to wonder if it has much meaning at all. Good bit of MathRock here along with Mathletics, Hummer and Balloons and Astronauts...(Why I'm I listing?…all their songs are good).

I think once you understand who Cassius is, you’re able to understand the song a whole lot better. “Daydreams”. Dreams of making it. Succeeding. Slight realisation that they may not be the dreams to reach reality. Those of ending slavery. “Cassius it’s over you’re second best.” Slavery not being beaten and that it’s still around. Throughout his best efforts, he and many others haven’t succeeded in abolishing this act.

I’ve just gone through a couple of lines assuming it’s about the slavery Cassius. It’s probably completely wrong. Now I’m just mumbling. Ah well, enjoy.

It's about the fall of Rome

it's not here, but the part about "cassius you're second best" is really reminiscent of shakespeare's julius caesar, lqtm. but i certainly have to agree with you kele, especially due to the "lighthouse was an accident" part...

So what does the 'lighthouse was an accident' refer to then ^ ?

I submitted the correct, full lyrics and y'er bloody man edited them back. Keep them correct this time.

The video is gross!!

oh hang on, forgot about the meat, that is a bit gross.
