Absurd Mind… Read Full Bio ↴"(AbsuЯd) Minds" is a futurepop music band from Germany.
Absurd Minds was formed in 1995 by Stefan Großmann (voice, composing) and Tilo Ladwig (composing, programming, sampling). Musically they were inspired by the EBM of the early 1990s.
Between 1995 and 1999, Absurd Minds released three CD-rs in limited quantities, laying the groundwork for further developments by the band. After a long creative phase their first concert took place at the Dresden club, "Bunker". As a result of this the band came into contact with "Music Cooperation" who subsequently became their management. A recording contract with the label Scanner followed in December 1999. In the meantime, Absurd Minds played in "Electromania II" in Leipzig. The recording for their first single, "Brainwash", and album, "Deception", began in January 2000.
In March, the band played live at the "Nostromo Festival" in Görlitz and opened for the "Electromania III" festival which was part of the "Wave-Gotik-Treffen" 2000. In December their second single, "Come Alive" appeared and in January 2001 they began recording the album "Damn the Lie". During this period the band took on a third member, Timo Fischer, who till then had only played as reinforcement during live performances.
Their third album "The Focus" followed in October 2003, with the singles "Master Builder" and "Herzlos" both doing well in the DAC. Another appearance at the "Wave-Gotik-Treffen" followed in 2004, whilst the fourth Absurd Minds album "Noumenon" was released in November 2005.
Currently, the most recent release from Absurd Minds is the EP "The Cycle" which was released in 2007. According to the bands' website a new album, "Serve or Suffer", is scheduled for 2010.

Absurd Minds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An ugly aspect of yourself
Emotions that do nothing but destroy the health
Your changeable temper keeps the demon alive
So the shadowy creature can survive
Your changeable temper lets the creature survive
Are you confused in your soul
Take a deep breath, calm down
Call forth composure
And you'll see it's not worth it my friend
It makes you return to come back again
It makes you return to redress your mistakes
The same people in a future stage
What you send out returns to you
And if they hurt you
You know why they do
Their changeable temper keeps the demon alive
So the shadowy creature can survive
Their changeable temper lets the creature survive
The lyrics of Absurd Minds' song Confusion talk about the destructive nature of emotional turmoil and its effects on a person's inner self. The first verse talks about how negative emotions can be pitiful and ugly, while also causing harm to one's health. The second verse speaks directly to the listener, asking if they have a "rampant rage" inside and encouraging them to find composure to avoid further harm.
The chorus speaks more broadly about how actions have consequences, and how individuals must take responsibility for their own behavior. It emphasizes a sense of karma, stating that what goes around comes around, and encourages listeners to think before acting on their emotions.
Overall, the song appears to be a warning against giving in to negative emotions, and instead encourages listeners to strive for self-control and composure in order to avoid causing harm to themselves and others.
