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 ↴
There is no need to cry
For a trifle's more than this
Would you still recall my name?
And the month it all began?
Will you release me with a kiss?
Have I tried to draw the veil?
Did I fear the consequence?
Dazed by careless words
Cozy in my mind
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
Now you shaped that liquid wax
Fit it out with crater cracks
Sweet devotion my delight
Oh, you're such a pretty one
And the naked thrills of flesh and skin
Would tease me through the night
Now I hate to leave you bare
If you need me I'll be there
Don't you ever let me down
Dazed by careless words
Cozy in my mind
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
And I touched your face
Narcotic mind from laced Mary-Jane
And I called your name
Like an addicted to cocaine
Calls for the stuff he'd rather blame
And I touched your face
Narcotic mind from laced Mary-Jane
And I called your name
My cocaine
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
I don't mind
I think so
I will let you go
The lyrics of Liquido's song "Narcotic" are suggestive of a tumultuous romantic relationship that is coming to an end. The opening lines, "So you face it with a smile, there is no need to cry" indicate that the singer is attempting to either move on from an ended relationship or help their partner do so. They ask their lover if they would still remember their name or the month that their relationship started. The singer seems to both want a lasting connection with their partner but also is aware of the transitory nature of love, with the line "For a trifle's more than this" suggesting that what they had was fleeting.
The reference to "liquid wax" with "crater cracks" seems to illustrate love that was not meant to last, as wax is malleable and impermanent. The line "sweet devotion my delight" hints at a time when the relationship was passionate and pure. Throughout the song, the singer asserts repeatedly that they will "let you go" which could indicate a sense of relinquishing control and accepting what they cannot change. This sentiment is strengthened by the final lines of the song where they repeat the same phrase multiple times, suggesting they have finally come to terms with the situation.
