The original members of Deee-lite were:
* Supa DJ Dmitry (Dmitri Brill, born 4 June 1964, originally from Kiev, Ukraine)
* Lady Miss Kier (Kierin Magenta Kirby, born 15 August 1963, Youngstown, Ohio)
* Towa Tei (Dong-hwa Chung, born 7 September 1964, originally from Tokyo, Japan)
Brill and Kirby had an ongoing romantic relationship, which ended prior to the release of their third album, Dewdrops In the Garden. Also prior to that release, Tei went in a different musical direction embracing bossa nova as opposed to break beats (appearing only on the remix for "Call Me") while a new member was brought in, DJ On-E. Deee-Lite disbanded in 1994, just before the release of Dewdrops in the Garden.
Mind Melt
Deee-Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can groove
You can mind melt
Perpetual bloom
You can sing on the curves
Of all minds perfect rings
Come around come around
I hear what you say come around
So clear so clear
Resounding no fear
Deee-Lite's song Mind Melt speaks to the idea of letting go and allowing oneself to get lost in the music. The lyrics "you can move, you can groove, you can mind melt" suggest that the listener can physically and mentally let go and be taken away by the music. "Perpetual bloom" could represent the constant growth and transformation that occurs while dancing and being immersed in the music. The lyrics "you can sing on the curves of all minds perfect rings" is a metaphor for the way music can unite us all and create a shared experience.
The chorus "come around come around, I hear what you say come around" encourages the listener to embrace the present moment and be fully present in their surroundings. The reference to "the temple of my mind, so clear so clear, resounding no fear" further emphasizes the idea of being present and letting go of fears or worries. The song encourages the listener to let the music take over and to find freedom in the present moment.
