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.

Liquido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
throw away the key, all locked up inside || the bridges will burn tonight, i wanna know what
it´s like || to remember all the days we´ve never had || i´m burning cold, i´m freezing out,
i´m not the same that i used to be || you and i, bad memories and good times, the jump
up to the sky || together we get high || we have waited too long, i wasn´t trying to impress
myself || all the good things in my life getting away from me || i´m burning cold, i´m freezing
out, i´m not the same that i used to be || don´t turn your back on me, things i couldn´t
see || spread your wings and fly over to me, oh my god || it´s everytime the same, feelings
The lyrics of Jump Off by Liquido depict a person who is trying to forget their past and move on. The city exploding and bridges burning signify the destruction of the memories and emotions that he once had. He feels locked up inside and wants to know what it's like to remember all the days that he's never had. He's burning cold and freezing, which could mean that he's experiencing a lot of conflicting emotions.
Despite all of this, he remembers the good times and bad memories that he shared with someone else. Together, they would jump up to the sky and get high, which could mean that they would escape their problems through drugs or other means. However, he believes that they have waited too long to deal with their issues and now all the good things in his life are getting away from him.
He pleads with the person to not turn their back on him and asks them to spread their wings and fly over to him. He says that it's every time the same, referring to the fact that they keep repeating the same mistakes and experiencing the same feelings without names. Overall, the song seems to be about a person who is trying to forget the past and move on, but is struggling to do so because of the unresolved issues with someone else.
