Analysis and Explanation

Liquid State is a relatively heavy song written by Chris Wolstenholme about his struggle with alcoholism. Upon making its live debut in early 2012, it was never played in the same gig as the other song on the album written by Chris, Save Me. The two had been on rotation since their debuts, however for one reason or another Liquid State was almost always played instead. It would appear in most 2012 gigs and almost all 2013 gigs, with the exception of a handful of gigs at the end of 2013 and a few scattered concerts throughout the year, despite only being performed once in 2014. For gigs throughout 2013 the song was often introduced by a riff that was later used as the verse riff in Psycho.

Though the majority of fans heavily prefer Liquid State of the two songs written by Chris, the band have yet to perform it live since the end of The 2nd Law tour alongside many songs from the album (including among others the singles Follow Me and Survival, as well as the other song by Chris, Save Me). The band have seemingly not given up on performing Liquid State live, though, as it was a candidate for the 2017 London Shepherds Bush Empire gig available for fans to choose.
