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.
Why Are You Leaving
Liquido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lips cracked, mic check, tell me woody...you say it's all a mess
"looking good" simon says, gin and juice made me mad, swallowed down
Something we want to see, girls getting on their knees
Drinkin' back the old days, pimpin', cruisin'
No woman ,no cry, c'mon baby do or die, living in the fast lane
What you're saying?... I'm gonna smash it up... gonna smash it!
Why don't you tell me no lies, why are you leaving?
Trying to hold back good times, why are you leaving?
Ever, forever in line, why are you leaving?
Ever, forever in line, why are you leaving?
Sitting on an aeroplane, living in the fast lane
Tight jeans, tv screens, killing time,y ou speak of selling out...
I'm for real... babylon makes me mad, shout it out!
What you're thinking right now, singing songs like "my-oh-my"
Blasting in the quaarry! what you want is what you get,all day stay...
...in bed...do you really care?... I'm gonna smash it up... gonna smash it!
Why don't you tell me no lies, why are you leaving?
Trying to hold back good times, why are you leaving?
Ever, forever in line, why are you leaving?
Ever, forever in line, why are you leaving?
...and I wanna keep my move "straight down" from the front to the back
...so...why are you leaving? ever, forever in line, why are you leaving?
Why don't you tell me no lies, why are you leaving?
Trying to hold back good times, why are you leaving?
Ever, forever in line, why are you leaving?
Ever, forever in line, why are you leaving?
The lyrics to Liquido's "Why Are You Leaving" are a reflection of the fast-paced lifestyle and chaos that comes with living in the moment. The song's verses paint a picture of a party scene, with people drinking and reminiscing about the good old days while also engaging in questionable behavior like pimping and cruising around. The singer seems to be caught up in the excitement but also aware of the emptiness of this lifestyle. The refrain's repeated question, "Why are you leaving?" could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be directed at someone the singer doesn't want to leave the party or possibly a question directed at oneself, questioning why they are living this way.
The second verse takes the party scene to an airplane, still living in the fast lane. The singer seems to be getting more agitated and disillusioned with the Babylonian system and the idea of selling out. The line "What you're thinking right now, singing songs like 'my-oh-my'" could be a nod to the classic rock song "My, Oh My" by Slade, which also critiques the entertainment industry. The final lines suggest that the singer is aware of the self-destructive nature of this lifestyle but can't seem to help themselves, as they repeat "I'm gonna smash it up... gonna smash it!".
Overall, the lyrics of "Why Are You Leaving" capture the restless, carefree spirit of youth and the sense of adventure that can come with it. At the same time, there is a sense of unease and dissatisfaction lurking beneath the surface. The repeated refrain serves to remind the listener of this tension, asking why anyone would want to leave the party even though it's clear that something is not quite right.
