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.
Ordinary Life
Liquido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fading into gloom
Blackening everything
That we achieved
Thought I felt kill
An underrated skill
Catching but heavily
Quite a disease
It is to show you
Where my head is at
It's but a shame
This is some
Ordinary life
Some ordinary life
Some ordinary life
Some ordinary
Now I know the score
The storyline you store
Has but an end
That you will not release
Requiring a plan
Some pattern for the clan
And nothing is quite
What it seems
Didn't I swear
It such a beautiful dress
That you wear
It's but a game
This is some
Ordinary life
Some ordinary life
Some ordinary life
Some ordinary life
Some ordinary
Lyrically, Liquido's song "Ordinary Life" explores the idea of dissatisfaction with life and feeling lost in a routine that seems unfulfilling. The first verse suggests that something has changed and that a once bright situation has now become shrouded in darkness. The singer questions their own ability to cope with this shift, stating that they thought they had the skill to deal with difficulty but are now realizing that it is weighing heavily on them like a disease. This discontentment is further emphasized in the chorus, with the repetition of the phrase "some ordinary life" indicating that life feels mundane and lacking significance.
The second verse delves deeper into the root of this dissatisfaction, which seems to be tied to the people around the singer. They have discovered that the "storyline" of the group does not have a satisfying conclusion, and that secrets and hidden motives make things not as they appear. This realization makes the singer feel like they need a plan to break out of the monotony and conformity of their current situation. The final lines of the song suggest that there is an element of deception in the singer's interactions with those around them, represented by the image of a beautiful dress that is just a mask for a game.
Overall, "Ordinary Life" is a melancholy examination of the human desire for purpose and meaning in a world that can seem devoid of it. The song's repetitive chorus and brooding lyrics create a sense of stagnation and frustration that many people can likely relate to.
