They combine different elements of classic metal, rock, and hard rock in their music. The band currently consists of Masha (vocals), Elio Alien (guitars), Privacy (bass), and BH (drums).

Exilia was formed in 1998 in Milan, Italy, when Masha met guitarist Elio Alien.

They have played at concerts with Guano Apes, H-Blockx, Clawfinger, HIM, Therapy?, In Extremo, Rammstein, and Ill Niño.

Their debut album, "Rightside UP", was released in 2000. Their following album, "Unleashed", debuted in May 2004, and made it into the Top 40 in German charts. In April 2005, band member Andrea Ge left the band and Ale took his place as drummer.

In summer 2006 they released their newest album "Nobody Excluded".
During their festival tour, Masha had an accident while the band was playing Milan. The stage was not safe and she was falling down and broke her leg twice. Following this incident the band canceled all shows and played them later in 2007.

At the beginning of 2007 they found a new bassist, Mata, because Random could not play the next gigs (Nobody Excluded Tour) with Exilia. Mata and Exilia have known each other since 2001. They played some shows in Italy together.

The last single released in October 2006 was "Your Rain".

Excuse Me
Exilia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Excuse me excuse me
what's your name again
wait a sec wait a sec
I don't understand
tell me tell me
your last heroic action
a cat you drown just for kicks
kick a man when he's down

Laugh laugh
tell me all your stories
play your games play your games
kill with ugly names
Gun down shoot down
another little bird

But I'll wait yeah I'll wait
and I'll watch and I'll watch you while

You get back what you give
what you do turns back on you
gets back to back to you
then I'll ask you
hey, how are you now?

Excuse me excuse me
I think your hands are dirty
heard you say heard you say
to be on top you gotta
Step on them step on them
'cause you're the one and only

but I'll wait yeah I'll wait
and I'll watch and I'll watch you while

You get back what you give
what you do turns back on you
gets back to back to you

then I'll ask you
hey, how are you

Overall Meaning

The song "Excuse Me" by Exilia is a powerful message about karma and the notion that one's actions will eventually come back to them. The lyrics describe encounters with someone who appears to take pleasure in causing harm and exerting power over others. The opening lines of "Excuse me excuse me, what's your name again, wait a sec wait a sec, I don't understand" set a confrontational tone as the singer seeks to understand this person's motivations. The following lines ask about the person's last heroic action, sarcastically suggesting that they take pleasure in drowning cats and kicking people when they are down.

The second verse continues with descriptions of this person's behavior, including telling ugly stories and killing birds. Despite this, the singer plans to wait and watch, suggesting that they believe that eventually, this behavior will catch up with the person. The chorus repeats the idea that what you give out comes back to you, and the singer will ask how this person is when that happens. The final verse again addresses the person's behavior, suggesting that they believe being on top requires stepping on others and that they see themselves as the one and only. However, the singer plans to continue to observe and wait for karma to catch up with this person.

Overall, "Excuse Me" is a powerful statement about the impact of our actions on others and the belief that eventually, we will be held accountable for them. The song invites listeners to reflect on their own behavior and how they treat others.
