About This Track

From his 2019 album 'CASE STUDY 01', 'SUPERPOSITION' finds Daniel Caesar exploring spirituality and philosophy through the lens of quantum mechanics. The title invokes a principle from physics in which systems exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured, a concept Caesar uses to frame life's inherent contradictions. John Mayer contributes instrumentals and production work, marking the first collaboration between the two artists. Caesar's lyrics move between self-assurance and vulnerability, acknowledging the messiness of personal growth whilst asserting a kind of cosmic self-sufficiency. 'I'm me, I'm God / I'm everything,' he sings in the chorus, folding Eastern philosophy's yin and yang into a broader meditation on identity and purpose. The second verse admits to flaws and chaos outside the music, but the tone remains steady, even as the stakes rise. The track balances introspection with a certain lightness, its reflective depth never tipping into solemnity.

"SUPERPOSITION" is a track by Daniel Caesar, from the album CASE STUDY 01, released 28th June 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

SUPERPOSITION

[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]

Isn't it an irony?

The things that inspire me

They make me bleed

So profusely

I got everything I need

Time and space to think and breathe

What does it mean

When cash grows on trees?

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]

Exist in superposition

Life's all about contradiction

Yin and yang

Fluidity and things

I'm me, I'm God

I'm everything

I'm my own reason why I sing

And so are you, are you understanding?

[Bridge: Daniel Caesar]

Whoa

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]

I know you think this shit is easy

For you, but not so much for me

But I'll still ride, that's just the risk I'll take

I know you see me actin' sleazy

I'm working on it, take it easy

I'll figure it all out before I break

If I should die before I wake

Oh, please, do not resuscitate

I know I didn't live my life in vain

This music shit's a piece of cake

The rest of my life's in a state of chaos

But I know I'll be okay

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]

Exist in superposition

Life's all about contradiction

Yin and yang

Fluidity, and things

I'm me, I'm God

I'm everything

I'm my own reason why I sing

And so are you, are you understanding?
