Their only notable international hit, "Narcotic", was first released on a demo in 1996 and sold over 700.000 units when Virgin Records re-released it in 1998. Since then, Liquido hasn't been able to repeat this success, which led to a split from Virgin after two unsuccessful albums in 2004 and finally to the breakup of the band in 2009.

Tim Eiermann is known to be founding member of Death/Doom Metal act Pyogenesis, which released its first EP Ignis Creatio in 1992 through Osmose Productions. Wolle Maier also played in Pyogenesis.

Catch Me
Liquido Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta get that feeling once again
This time I'm on my own I'm here to stay
Watching colors form, minutes passing by
Why can't you ever keep me save from harm
Everything that comes around goes around
Something more than ordinary life
Turning upside down, pulling inside out
Over the top-I'm sliding from the edge

Catch me I'm falling down, falling down
I'm on my way
Catch me I'm falling down, falling down
I'm on my way

All is fixed so face it one more time
In a small world that I call my own
Simple awesome notes (that's) what I want to hear
Intrusive noises never let me go
Pathetic neighbours jumping up and down
Daily sadness melted from the sun
Turning upside down, pulling inside out
Over the top-I'm sliding from the edge

Catch me I'm falling down, falling down
I'm on my way

Catch me I'm falling down, falling down
I'm on my way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Liquido's "Catch Me" are a reflective and introspective look at the singer's self and surrounding environment. At the start of the song, the singer yearns for a certain feeling that he used to have and wants to experience it once more. He also declares that he's here to stay, indicating that he has come to terms with his life and is ready to face it. Life, to him, is a cycle of ups and downs, where everything comes around and goes around. However, he wants something more than an ordinary life, and the thought of turning everything upside down excites him.

In the chorus of the song, he states that he's falling down but is still on his way somewhere. Perhaps the fall, in this sense, could be a metaphor for the uncertainties of life, and the fact that he's still on his way could signify his resilience and determination to keep going. The second verse describes his small world, where the singer wants to listen to simple and awesome notes, but intrusive noises make that impossible. The pathetic neighbors jumping up and down may be a reference to conformity, where others try to fit in and don't want to stand out. The daily sadness is melted away by the sun, and just like the first verse, things are turned upside down, and he's sliding from the edge, indicating a sense of thrill.

Gotta get that feeling once again
I need to experience that certain sensation again

This time I'm on my own I'm here to stay
I am alone and will remain present in this situation

Watching colors form, minutes passing by
Observing the creation of a colorful scene as time goes by

Why can't you ever keep me save from harm
Why can't you shield me from danger

Everything that comes around goes around
What goes around comes back around

Something more than ordinary life
Something beyond the usual way of life

Turning upside down, pulling inside out
Going through an upheaval, feeling disoriented

Over the top-I'm sliding from the edge
Going over the limit and falling off the edge

Catch me I'm falling down, falling down
Help me as I'm tumbling down

I'm on my way
I'm in motion towards my destination

All is fixed so face it one more time
Accept that everything is predetermined and confront it again
