Maas first began producing records in the '80s, but his first record The Final XS was not released until 1995. The Final XC did not sell well, and Maas himself even called it Cheesy, which is a term used in electronic music to describe something too simple and predictable. His second record release was with another producer, Gary D, with Die Herdplatte, which was a bigger success than his first album. Gary D also gained Maas a residency at Hamburg's famous club, The Tunnel, between 1994 and 1996.
Through British contacts Maas played at the Bristol club Lakota. Maas also began to release records through record-labels such as Hope Recordings, both under his own name and the alias Orinoko. Maas has also recorded under many aliases such as Mad Dogs and many others together with his manager and friend Leon Alexander. In 2000 Timo Maas began a residency alongside Deep Dish at the New York club Twilo.
Maas first became popular in mainstream dance music through his remix of Azzido Da Bass' Doom's Night, in the wake of this success he released Music For The Maases Volume 1, a mix album consisting of many of his previous tracks and remixes. After producing another mix album called Connected with Paul Oakenfold's imprint Perfecto Maas released his own debut album Loud in 2002. The album featured guest appearances from Kelis and Finley Quaye. A second Music For The Maases, Volume 2, was released, again consisting of remixes and new tracks. In 2005 Maas released his second personal album, Pictures, featuring guest artists Kelis, Neneh Cherry and Placebo's Brian Molko.
His "To Get Down" track has been widely used in movie soundtracks such as the 2003 remake of The Italian Job (2003 film), Riders in 2002, as well as other mediums such as the video game, FIFA 2003, and a Budweiser beer commercial.
On the popular video game The Sims 2: Nightlife, a remix of the Neighbourhood screen music is credited to him.
Help Me
Timo Maas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wouldn't believe all the things I've seen
Who should I be? The sounds stifle me
To feed in fear, try penetration here
[Chorus]
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
The realest part is my reflection's clear
I know its crazy but the end is near
We're all alone, and judgments will reveal
Deep coat cause some will have eternity
[Chorus]
This is just my destiny so come with me [Repeat: x4]
[Chorus]
In the song "Help Me" by TIMO MAAS featuring KELIS, the lyrics describe an internal struggle within the artist. The first verse suggests that there is a darker side to the artist that is concealed from the outside world. The line "The sounds stifle me" indicates that the artist is overwhelmed by external noise and pressure, possibly from society or their own insecurities. The phrase "try penetration here" implies a desire to break free from the restraints and find liberation.
The chorus "Help me" is repeated multiple times and can have various interpretations. It could be a plea for assistance with mental health struggles or a cry for help to escape from the darkness within. The line "We're all alone, and judgments will reveal" suggests that the artist is aware of the inevitability of judgment and wants to confront it before it reveals itself.
The lyrics also mention that the end is near, which could mean that the artist feels like they are reaching a breaking point or that the end of the world is approaching. The repetition of "This is just my destiny so come with me" implies that the artist wants to accept their fate and bring others along for the ride.

@clicheguevara5282
Same. Used to spin it all the time. I had the CD too. I used to listen to it constantly when I was driving around in my very first car. It blows my mind that I forgot about this track. I must have listened to it almost every day for a year.
