Excited
Little Birdy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Latches off the lie
I'm running from
In my life
Love you wanna change
Take it so you're all alone for
A long time
It's love you had the love you had
A long long time
I can't figure out why
You don't need mine
I'm excited to be with you
Love you wanna change
Take it so you're all alone now
I can't survice you anymore
My hand is getting very cold
You're mine now you're mine
I'm excited to be with you
Ooh I know I know it's only what you wanna ask
In the opening lines of Little Birdy's song "Excited," the singer reveals that they're excited to be with someone they love. This simple declaration is loaded with emotion and is the driving force behind the entire song. But the excitement is bittersweet, as the singer is running from a lie in their life that they can't seem to escape. At the same time, they're attempting to change the person they love in hopes that they won't be alone anymore. Despite these efforts, the singer eventually concedes defeat and accepts that their love cannot survive any longer. The final line of the song, "You're mine now, you're mine," reads as a mournful statement of possession rather than one of joy.

Latches off the lie
I'm finally letting go of the deception that has been haunting me
I'm running from
I've been trying to escape
In my life
It's been a persistent part of my existence
Love you wanna change
You want to alter my love and make it conform to your ideals
Take it so you're all alone for
Your actions will result in you being isolated for a long time
A long time
It will be a significant amount of time
It's love you had the love you had
The love you had was genuine
A long long time
It's been a long time since you had that love
I can't figure out why
I'm unable to comprehend why
You don't need mine
You don't require my love
Ooh I know I know it's only what you wanna ask
I understand that it's solely something you want to inquire about
I can't survice you anymore
I can no longer handle being around you
My hand is getting very cold
I am becoming numb to your touch
You're mine now you're mine
I have possession of you now
I'm excited to be with you
Despite everything, I am still eagerly anticipating being with you

This is one of my favourite songs. Massive fan of Kate's brother too. An insanely talented family. Kate if you read this I have great memories of watching you live in Adelaide many times in the early 2000s. Come back sometime

Katy, Luke and Jake ALL have talent. What is it with them? And what is it with Perth? There's always good bands coming out of there...
