When he was a little boy DJ Laidback Luke used to love Mozart and Beethoven. Ever since he's tried to transmit the sounds of these composers into his music. He was voted #17 on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ list in 2010.
Laidback Luke grew up in The Netherlands and made his name as a graffiti artist before turning to making music. He has worked with artists such as David Guetta, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Junior Sanchez and played throughout Europe and North America as well as shows in Japan and Ibiza. He has released two studio albums: Psyched Up (1998) and Electronic Satisfaction (2002) as well as a successful mix album, Windmill Skill (2003). In 2003, van Scheppingen did a remix of the Daft Punk song "Crescendolls" for the duo's poorly-received remix album Daft Club.

Laidback Luke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems a chapter here is missing
Through this storm our love is stronger
Now I fallow where you live
Open your eyes!
Here I stay and beside you
Open your mind!
Collide, collide, collide, collide
Take (take)
Open your eyes!
Here I stay and beside you
Open your mind!
Take me where our love collide
Where this love collides
Through this storm our love is stronger
Now I follow where you lead
Open your eyes!
Here I stay and beside you
Open your mind!
Take me where our love collide
Open your eyes!
Here I stay and beside you
Open your mind!
Take me where our love collide
Collide, collide, collide, collide
Take (take, take)
Take (take)
Open your eyes!
Here I stay and beside you
Open your mind!
Take me where our love collide
Collide, collide, collide, collide
Take (take, take)
Take me where our love collide
The lyrics of Laidback Luke's song Collide speaks about a love that is being tested by a storm, which is causing them to miss something important, like a chapter in a book. Despite the challenges, the love between the two people in the song is still strong and they are willing to follow and remain beside each other. The repeated lines "Open your eyes" and "Open your mind" suggest that the person is asking their partner to see and understand the love they share.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of love colliding, which could be interpreted in different ways. It could mean that their love is so powerful that it causes a collision between their hearts or that their love literally collides with an external force, such as the aforementioned storm. Regardless, the line "Take me where our love collides" signifies a desire to be near their loved one and to face whatever challenge they must face together.
Overall, Collide is a song about love that endures through trials and hardships. It emphasizes the importance of seeing and understanding each other to make a lifelong commitment work.
