Many credited the band for reviving the local indie music scene. They’re proud of that, too. After all, it’s for the love of music they started this journey in 2003. It’s a blessing to bring together a group of people who share the same passion and this was what they got - So Much More Inside (2004), Hip City (2006) and their latest effort We Satellites in 2008. Always challenging and exploring new sounds with each new project, their rewards include 3 acclaimed albums, two no.1 hits and numerous top 20s -that showcase their evolution, and a whole lot of fans.
Props to the music channels for believing in and helping Electrico, also know as ECO spread their music beyond our shores and kudos to the band for working their asses off touring the Asian circuit, and flying the Singapore flag at the coveted South By Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Texas in 2007 while spreading some of their magic to Los Angeles at the same time.
Electrico became the first Singapore band to receive a nomination at the 2005 MTV Asia Awards and a second in 2008 which culminated in awards for the Top Local Pop Song (for Runaway) at the 13th annual COMPASS (Composers & Authors Society Of Singapore) awards – the 3rd time in as many years – which also saw Dave taking the honors for the Young Composer of the Year.
With recognition came responsibility, and the lads gave back- undertaking a community project for troubled teens in the same year. The online single Everybody’s Here - a child of the project.
Veterans in the local music scene, but definitely still learning. It helps that these self-confessed music and stage junkies, are friends before musicians. And perhaps that’s what keeps their sound evolving, adding new dimensions to their music and taking their fans along for the ride.
Electrico are - Dave Tan (vocal & guitar), Desmond Goh (bass guitar) and William Lim Jr (drums).
Electrico’s long anticipated 3rd album, “We Satellites”, is now available in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines . Visit www.wesatellites.com for more details.

Liberation
Electrico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another train goes by
And everything is still
You seek another one to phone
I know just what you'll find
Living in the way of what you might
A sense that you couldn't find
But now it seems it's time to realise
Realise
Aren't you glad it's me, not you
Trying to fit into those shoes
It's a liberation
Well, it took you some time yeah
To make it
Now to take on all the world the way you feel it
Leaving all your chains behind
I know just what you'll find
You'll find your place and live inside of me
Inside of me
Aren't you glad it's me, not you
Absolutely in those shoes
It's a liberation
Life making us just spin the wheel
And landing on the space we deal
It's a liberation
It's a liberation
Don't you seek another one
Cause your liberation's just begun
The lyrics of Electrico's song "Liberation" convey a sense of liberation and freedom from past experiences and expectations. The song begins with the singer observing another lonely night and the passing train, emphasizing the stillness of everything around. The line "And everything is still" indicates a stagnant state, possibly representing a period of stagnation or dissatisfaction in one's life.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is searching for someone to connect with, using the phrase "You seek another one to phone." The singer understands what the singer will likely find, indicating a familiarity with the patterns of seeking validation or fulfillment in relationships. The line "Living in the way of what you might be needing not so long ago" suggests that the singer has been living in a way that does not align with their true desires or needs.
However, the song takes a positive turn with the chorus, "Aren't you glad it's me, not you? Trying to fit into those shoes. It's a liberation." Here, the singer is relieved that they are not the ones trying to fit into someone else's expectations. This signifies a sense of freedom and self-acceptance, embracing the liberation from societal pressures and expectations.
The verses continue to reinforce this theme of liberation, highlighting the time it took for the singer to reach this point and encouraging them to leave their chains behind. The line "You'll find your place and live inside of me" reflects a newfound internal contentment and self-acceptance.
The song concludes with the affirmation that the singer's liberation has just begun, indicating a sense of optimism and the beginning of a journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment.
Line by Line Meaning
Another lonely night
Yet another night of solitude and emptiness
Another train goes by
Another opportunity or path passes by
And everything is still
The world around you remains quiet and motionless
You seek another one to phone
You are searching for someone else to reach out to
I know just what you'll find
I understand the outcome you will encounter
Living in the way of what you might
Existing in a manner that obstructs your potential
Be needing not so long ago
What you required not too far in the past
A sense that you couldn't find
A feeling that eluded you
But now it seems it's time to realise
However, now it appears that you must acknowledge
Realise
Recognize or understand
Aren't you glad it's me, not you
Aren't you relieved that the situation is happening to me instead of you
Trying to fit into those shoes
Struggling to conform to certain expectations or roles
It's a liberation
It is a feeling of freedom and release
Well, it took you some time yeah
Indeed, it required a significant amount of time for you
To make it
To achieve success or accomplishment
Now to take on all the world the way you feel it
Now, you are prepared to face the world according to your own emotions and perspective
Leaving all your chains behind
Abandoning all the limitations and restrictions that held you back
I know just what you'll find
I am aware of what you will discover
You'll find your place and live inside of me
You will discover where you belong and find solace within me
Aren't you glad it's me, not you
Aren't you relieved that it is happening to me and not you
Absolutely in those shoes
Completely experiencing the situation and its associated difficulties
It's a liberation
It is a feeling of freedom and release
Life making us just spin the wheel
Life causing us to continuously take chances or face uncertainty
And landing on the space we deal
And ending up in the situation that fate presents us with
It's a liberation
It is a feeling of freedom and release
It's a liberation
It is a feeling of freedom and release
Don't you seek another one
Do not search for another person
Cause your liberation's just begun
Because your freedom and release have only just started
