Liquid Love
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ache for you my love
Call this a liquid love
Rain down on me
(You should have come over)
Your love slips through my hands
Drowning in liquid love
Rain down on me
I call out your name (You should have come over)
Your love is chasing through my veins (You should have come over)
Such a foolish game (You should have come over)
Your love's no good for me, good for me
But it makes me happy
(Makes me happy)
I wait for you my love
I ache for you my love
Call this a liquid love
Rain down on me
I call out your name (You should have come over)
Your love is chasing through my veins (You should have come over)
Such a foolish game (You should have come over)
Your love's no good for me, good for me
But it makes me happy
The lyrics of Above & Beyond's song Liquid Love express a deep yearning for a love that is both euphoric and problematic. The singer expresses his desire for someone who is not good for him, even though their love makes him happy. He calls it a "liquid love," as if it were a substance that is both intoxicating and difficult to contain. The imagery of rain is used throughout the song to represent this love pouring down on the singer, overwhelming him and leaving him feeling like he is drowning.
The repetition of the phrase "you should have come over" suggests that the object of the singer's affection is not present, perhaps because they have left him or are not interested in pursuing a relationship. The lyrics also describe the sensation of feeling that love is slipping through the singer's hands like "sinking sand," adding to the sense of instability and desperation.
The overall mood of the song is bittersweet, capturing the intense emotions of a relationship that is both joyful and painful. The vocalist's delivery is plaintive and vulnerable, echoing the raw emotion of the lyrics. The use of electronic production creates a dreamy, otherworldly soundscape, adding to the surreal quality of the song's emotional landscape.

TRI-STATE is still the best electronic dance album.
This is one of those albums that I let it play through without skipping tracks.
A true masterpiece 👏
Trance is not produced like this anymore.
I am glad to have been around to see the evolution of trance music from 1999-2013
I will never forget their set at Nocturnal 2008 & Electric Daisy Carnival 2010.
Talk about goosebumps...
