1) Liquid explosively emerged in 1991 with the seminal anthem 'Sweet Harmony', timelessly layering classic house over rolling, breakneck beats. This was followed by the pioneering and experimental 'Future Music' E.P. which included the dark and atmospheric breakbeat dub classic 'Liquid Is Liquid'.
Band members were Shane Henegan (DJ Model) and Eamon Downes (Ame) were joined for the first three ep's by producer Jezz Wright
Following Shane Heneghan's departure from the band after the first two releases, the liquid reputation for producing challengingly alternative floorfillers was cemented with 'Time To Get Up' described as a progressive gem and the balearic tinged, flamenco guitars of 'One Love Family' - both of which were mixmag singles of the week.
Liquid have, with top 20 singles in the UK, and european hit singles, achieved huge commercial success while maintaining critical acclaim. the nme describe the XL recordings album 'Liquid Culture' as "sophisticated, soulful techno" and mixmag effuse how it "works beautifully".
Liquid have perfomed live internationally in many countries over many years and after some time away are on the road again.
2) Liquid is also a slovak hard-rock band formed in 2005. This group consists of the members of the band Liquid Boogie Roll and singer Martin Androvič. They released their first album "Another Dimension" in 2006.
3) Liquid is also the stage name of R&B/Rap artist Victor Manuel Oquendo, who released his album "Tales from the Badlands" in 2005 off of Gotee records. Oquendo's tribute to the streets of Philly is his only studio album that has been released so far.

down this road
Again class clown to a corner I was bound a dunce cap wearing. Real God fearin
who never
made a sound
I cut my head out of the classroom picture and thought that I was the victor I was blind
Closer for my own protection
Closer to the edge
I never thought that I could be so blind
A white shirt plaid tie wearing, child prodigy
Two steps from sanity
One from the edge
A glance away from a face that shatters me
As photogenic as a freak
Poster boy for the meek
Pale face and week,
God damn, my future looks bleak
I cut my head out of the classroom picture and thought that I was the victor I was blind
I'm closer to the ideal complexion
Closer for my own protection
closer to the edge
I never thought that I could be so blind blind
In Liquid's song "Closer," the lyrics describe the journey of a person who has been a self-starter since the age of ten. The person reflects on their past, specifically being a class clown who was bound to a corner wearing a dunce cap, yet was still a real God-fearing individual who never made a sound. The person also speaks about cutting their head out of the classroom picture and believing that they were the victor, only to realize later that they were blind.
The person then speaks about being closer to the ideal complexion, which could be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of being closer to their true self, or achieving personal growth. They also mention being closer for their own protection, possibly meaning they have learned how to protect themselves from external influences or negative experiences. Lastly, the person speaks about being closer to the edge, which could represent either being on the verge of a breakthrough or a breakdown.
The lyrics also mention the person being a white shirt plaid tie-wearing child prodigy, who is two steps from sanity and one from the edge. This could imply that the person is academically gifted and successful, yet mentally unstable and on the brink of losing control. The person also speaks about being as photogenic as a freak, a poster boy for the meek, with a pale face and week-looking future. This could represent their internal struggles and insecurities despite their external achievements.
Overall, the lyrics of "Closer" are introspective and thought-provoking, portraying the internal struggles and external pressures of a person trying to find themselves and their place in the world.

Self starter since the age of ten I didn't know I'd have to go down fighting down this road
From a young age, I was always determined and independent. But little did I know, my journey would be full of challenges that I would have to overcome.
Again class clown to a corner I was bound a dunce cap wearing. Real God fearin who never made a sound
Despite being labeled as the class clown and made to wear a dunce cap in the corner, I was always a God-fearing student who never spoke out of turn.
Now I'm closer to the ideal complexion Closer for my own protection Closer to the edge
As I've grown older, I've become more aware of my appearance and have taken steps to protect myself. But I'm also aware that I'm walking a fine line and must be careful.
I never thought that I could be so blind
I'm amazed at how little I truly understood about myself and the world around me.
A white shirt plaid tie wearing, child prodigy Two steps from sanity One from the edge
I was always dressed immaculately and showed great potential, but my mental state was tenuous and I teetered precariously on the brink.
A glance away from a face that shatters me As photogenic as a freak Poster boy for the meek Pale face and week, God damn, my future looks bleak
One look in the mirror is all it takes to break me. While I may appear attractive, I feel like a freak on display. I'm the perfect image of weakness and it terrifies me.
I cut my head out of the classroom picture and thought that I was the victor I was blind
I thought that by removing my image from the classroom photo, I was somehow winning. But I was only fooling myself.
I'm closer to the ideal complexion Closer for my own protection closer to the edge
Once again, I'm reminded of how close I am to breaking, but I'm more prepared now than I ever was before.
I never thought that I could be so blind blind
Even after all that I've been through and learned, I still have moments where I feel completely lost and unaware.

ntea misouga
It's been so long
still I can't help believing
now you're gone
something stays within me
I need the one
like that sunshine come to God [...]
I'm never gonna stop, oh no
I'm going on and on and on
until I find some piece of mine
I keep on searching for you
till all I want
and all I need, oh yeah
is closer to me
