1) Placebo is… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least four artists with the name Placebo:
1) Placebo is a British alternative rock band formed in London in 1994 by vocalist-guitarist Brian Molko and bassist-guitarist Stefan Olsdal. Drummer Robert Schultzberg joined in late 1994 but left in 1996 shortly after the release of the band's eponymous debut album due to conflicts with Molko. He was replaced the same year by Steve Hewitt. Molko was born in Belgium, and Olsdal and Schultzberg were born in Sweden. Remaining members Molko and Olsdal both grew up in Luxembourg before separately relocating to London and are both British citizens.
Following the release of a demo, a split single, and their eponymous debut album, Placebo gained exposure in 1997 after the single "Nancy Boy" became popular in the UK, a song notorious at the time for its gender-bending content. The band stood out among the Britpop scene they were associated with at the time for their androgynous appearance and musical content, as well as Molko's distinctive voice and lyrics which openly discussed sexuality, mental health, and drug use.
Hewitt left Placebo in 2007 due to personal and musical differences. He was replaced the following year by Steve Forrest. Placebo released two albums with Forrest, who left in 2015 to pursue his own musical career. Since 2015, Placebo has been officially a duo, though augmented with additional musicians.
Placebo has collaborated with various artists over the years, including David Bowie, Justin Warfield, Michael Stipe, and Alison Mosshart. To date, Placebo has released eight studio albums, all of which have reached the Top 20 in the United Kingdom, and have sold around 14 million records worldwide.

Placebo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes me come alive
Makes me shiver and perspire
Your surreptitious glancin'
The way you crack a smile
Nearly start a fire
So move closer
So come over
Come on
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down
I need a change of skin
I need a change
The way you're moving
Hips from side to side
Makes you all that I desire
Bout cheaper than my choosing I'm so unsatisfied
You've got what I require
So move closer
I gotta feel your touch
So come over
So come on
So move closer
I gotta feel your touch
So come over
Come on
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down
I need a change of skin
I need a change
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down
The lyrics of "Kitty Litter" by Placebo talk about how the singer's love interest moves and dances, making him come alive and feel a combination of excitement and nervousness. The movements also make him want to be closer to her and feel her touch. He talks about their love being a fortress that now feels weaker since they are apart, and he needs a change of skin, indicating that he needs to change and move on from the relationship that seems to be ending. The song ends with the repeated chorus, emphasizing the crumbling of the fortress and the need for change.
The song seems to be about the end of a relationship that the singer is having trouble accepting. He is drawn to his love interest physically, but at the same time, he recognizes that they are not right for each other. The imagery of the fortress in the heart suggests that the two of them have built emotional walls around themselves to protect themselves from harm or emotional pain, and now that the relationship is ending, those walls are coming down.
Overall, the lyrics of "Kitty Litter" are a mix of desire, reluctance, and vulnerability. The song tells a story of a relationship that has come to an end, where the singer struggles to move on, but ultimately understands that he needs a change and a fresh start.
