Excite Me Like You Used To
Reviving Youthful Sparks: The Kelly Collective's Plea for Excitement
Lyrics
It's nice to be young
Expressing the enjoyment of being young.
But there's something missing
Acknowledging a sense of lacking or emptiness.
And it ain't just
Suggesting the absence is not merely financial.
Having a pot to piss in
Alluding to a basic need or essential aspect.
In London clubs
Feeling unfulfilled in London's nightlife.
I feel nothing
Describing emotional numbness in clubs.
My generation
Referencing the speaker's generation.
Give me Something
Expressing a desire for something meaningful.
Excite me, like you used to
Repeated plea for excitement reminiscent of the past.
Excite me, like you used to
-Excite me, like you used to
-Your clothes decide
Suggesting judgment based on outward appearance.
If you're a friend of mine
Connecting friendship to clothing choices.
Sub-culture uniform
Embracing a specific subculture's dress code.
Wear it with pride
Encouraging pride in adhering to subculture norms.
And there's no scene
Noting the prevalence of nostalgic-themed events.
That ain't a throwback night
Implying a lack of contemporary youth unity.
The days have passed
Reflecting on bygone days of collective action.
When youth unite
Indicating a desire for the return of united youth.
Excite me, like you used to
Reiterating the need for excitement from the past.
Excite me, like you used to
-Excite me, like you used to
-I'm on the brink of despair
Expressing a sense of impending hopelessness.
A butcher cut my hair
Describing a negative experience with a haircut.
Going round the twist
Feeling disoriented or confused.
I've lost the plot
Sensing a loss of direction or purpose.
To cap it off
Adding a comedic element with a clothing mishap.
My Fred Perry shrunk in the wash
Highlighting a need for belief or conviction.
I need something to believe in
Expressing a yearning for something meaningful.
That modern life ain't suffocating
-I need something to believe in
-That modern life ain't yet castrated
-I need something to believe in
Desiring beliefs that go beyond fleeting dreams.
Something more than fading dreams
-Excite me, like you used to
Repeating the plea for excitement from the past.
Excite me, like you used to
-Excite me, like you used to
-Excite me, like you used to
-Excite me, like you used to
-Excite me
Final plea for the rekindling of past excitement.
