Prior to being a recording artist, he was a record store owner and a club DJ at a nightclub in Salt Lake City as a way to make ends meet for him and his wife. After he and his wife moved to San Francisco he landed a job as a A&R man at OM records, where in addition to reviewing demos for the label he also submitted his own material, which would pay off big time for him. In 2001 he went from behind the desk to behind the turntables and the recording studio as an artist in his own right. In 2003 Kaskade released his first album, "It's You It's Me", which was well received by critics.
It would be his follow up, "In The Moment" in 2004, that would put Kaskade on the map. The first single off the set "Steppin' Out" would become a major hit on the Dance Radio Airplay that year as well as a top 10 hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. His biggest breakthrough would come the week of May 14, 2005, when his follow up, "Everything," would go all the way to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

Kaskade's song "Take Your Mind Off" is a call for someone to let go of their worries and stresses and allow the singer to provide a temporary escape from their problems.

When someone is feeling overwhelmed or consumed by negative thoughts, it can be difficult to break out of that cycle. Kaskade offers himself as a distraction and a source of positivity, encouraging the listener to let go and enjoy the moment.
The lyrics of the song can also be interpreted as a form of self-care. Sometimes, it's important to take a step back and prioritize our mental and emotional well-being. By letting go of our worries and focusing on something positive, we can recharge and face our problems with a fresh perspective. Kaskade's message is that it's okay to take a break and allow ourselves to enjoy life.

A short description of the video as i saw it.
0:16 was running away from something
0:20 looking for a way out to peace
0:27 tried music
0:34 tried art
0:38 tried travelling
0:41 tried living in mountains and at sea
0:47 starting to remember
0:48 but why i ran away?
0:49 i remember the buildings in night city
0:53 i remember faces
0:55 i see them, their eyes
1:01 this city
1:02 is in my mind, deep inside
1:07 the feeling
1:11 thoughts
1:20 i remember calling
1:23 i remember her
1:27 the first kiss
1:30 the drive
1:37 her eyes, her dazing eyes
1:44 feeling of being larger
1:45 it was art
1:48 it was a fantasy
1:49 the faces
1:54 i ran away
1:56 don't feel larger
2:00 came back home
2:03 bar fights
2:06 can't forget her beautiful face
2:08 her eyes
2:14 way she danced
2:21 feeling of been lost
2:22 death?
2:26 i lost myself
2:29 i lost my world
2:30 the weight on my shoulders
2:32 i lose her face
2:34 can't forget her eyes
2:36 i lost my home
2:42 but i have memories
2:54 all i ever known
2:58 all i stand for
3:08 it was so fast
3:10 even a thought of it
3:12 and i have eyes on fire
3:15 when i got her number
3:16 first date
3:17 feel sad
3:18 without home, out of this world
3:20 and falling into the abyss
3:26 the hate is out
3:28 I hunt him down
3:29 I'm a predator and he was my prey
3:30 he had thoughts
3:31 he had feelings
3:33 someone cared about him
3:35 someone loved him
3:36 and she's the one we loved
3:38 now she's just like me
3:40 her world falling apart
3:43 she's falling apart
3:47 I messed her head
3:49 another love lost
3:51 what have I done
