Liquid Cool
Sasha & John Digweed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Certainly someone who is frozen is not alive, but neither are they dead
They are in a third state a biostasis what I would use to describe ... liquid cool

Make me immortal yeah yeah
I am immortal yeah
I am nothing yeah yeah
Becoming liquid cool

Waves of oblivion yeah yeah
Lap at my feet yeah
Laugh in my face yeah yeah
Devil take me... liquid cool

I is another yeah
We blackout together yeah
Our little death, yeah yeah
Twilight elixir... liquid cool

Make me immortal yeah yeah
Once more around the sun
über religion yeah yeah
Ultra-evolution... liquid cool

He who lives these words
Shall not taste death
Becoming nothing yeah yeah
Forever liquid cool

The number seventy-two living in another lifetime, the number seventy-two ? future ones

To get into some place in the future where nobody?s ever beautiful
But some day we?ll look back and wonder how we ever tolerated it, life and death.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sasha & John Digweed's song "Liquid Cool" depict the concept of biostasis, which means the state of being alive but in a dormant condition, like being frozen. The lyrics suggest that biostasis is a third state between being alive and dead. This state is often used to preserve the body for future revival or to extend life. The song's protagonist seeks to become immortal through this process and considers it as a form of transcendence into a state of "liquid cool."

The lyrics of the song suggest a sense of detachment and acceptance towards one's mortality. The phrase "Make me immortal" is repeated throughout the song, indicating the desire for eternal life. However, the singer also acknowledges the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death. The lines "Laugh in my face yeah yeah, Devil take me... liquid cool" depict a sense of resignation towards death while the phrase "We blackout together" implies a form of camaraderie among people who have come to terms with their mortality.

Overall, "Liquid Cool" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the human desire for immortality and the acceptance of our mortality as an inevitable part of life. The song also explores the concept of biostasis as a means of achieving transcendence and attaining eternal life.
