Excited Eyes
The Notionaries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw your clothes & cares
Behind you to the wind
Just footprints where you've been
Summer kids go show em how
Faster wilder louder now
Go raise some hell
Those city people missed the boat
Hustle-bustle noisy hopes
I'm livin, breathin free...
And all it's costing me
Is sand under my moving feet
Forever deep surrounding me
Unsure for sure I'm sure
And all I want is more
I know, I know there's a million ways that we could go
Who knows, Who knows?
I know, I know there's nothing that I know for sure
Who knows, Who knows?
Unsure ocean separated
You from where you anticipated
You to be
But we've made it here somehow
Don't pay no mind to the where or how
Keep moving on
Keep on moving on (Keep on moving on)
I know, I know there's a million ways that we could go
Who knows, who knows if this could maybe last forever
I know, I know there's nothing that I know for sure
Who knows, who knows if we'll make it there to tell about it
The song "Excited Eyes" by The Notionaries is a joyful and carefree anthem about living in the moment and throwing your cares away. The lyrics encourage listeners to run and live fast, leaving behind everything that weighs them down and chasing after the excitement and adventure of life. The verses celebrate the carefree spirit of summer kids who live louder, wilder, and faster, raising hell and having fun. The chorus acknowledges the uncertainty that comes with living in the moment and chasing your dreams, but still encourages listeners to keep moving forward and enjoying the ride.
The line "run and live fast as we can" sets the tone for the entire song, challenging listeners to let go of their inhibitions and embrace the adventure of life. The imagery of throwing your clothes and cares to the wind and leaving only footprints behind emphasizes the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the present. The second verse contrasts the carefree spirit of the summer kids with the hustle and bustle of city life, suggesting that those who are too preoccupied with making money and pursuing success are missing out on the true joys of life. The bridge emphasizes the uncertainty of the future and the split between the path you anticipated and the one you end up on, but encourages listeners to keep moving forward no matter where life takes them.
