MindFlow's style of prog rock was born in 1999 with the proposal of creating technically complex songs yet accessible to everyone. Linked with all types of artistic expressions, from literature to plastic arts, the band is able to project a film from its soundtrack.
Many classic bands inspired MindFlow, such as: Rush, Yes, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Megadeth.
The energy emanated from the band members can be noticed by heavy riffs with traces of electronic music like in the powerful song "Meeting her eyes", the feeling and simplicity evident in "Invisible Messages" and "Touch of Immortality".
Sharing the stage with worldwide known Brazilian bands and international artists such as: Adagio, Angra members, Dr. Sin and Eric Singer, MindFlow has had notability among Latin American bands in the metal scene.

I'm sure it will not be a surprise any impact that MindFlow will cause when its album gets on hand of the most demanding listeners. An album very well balanced and with excellent production, working in a perfect way technique, musicality and harmony." - Aquiles Priester - ANGRA

Mindflow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
--------------
Where are you?
Is that you hiding under (the) bed?
I think so.
I see your screaming little eyes.
--------------
Damp in my lungs
On the day I found love
But I won't let you down again care without mind
Like your own merciful so
Personality #3
--------------
Overcome this fear,
Of letting (all) go.
And take a ride
To all that matters in life
Breath slow
Blow all away
Untamable fire
Personality #1
--------------
But in the "Reign of the Lost",
You can't remember your name.
Carrying hate for the weaker of all,
Spreading rightful hand.
Roundabout you,
They will waste you,
You will rove the road!
When they, when I corrode.
Personality #2
--------------
Library of empty lines
I rather ache than to crave your untried caress
Wait, I am moving on
Did I displace your own hideaway?
Convicted for love awake
Where did I go wrong?
You have another major killer alliance yes a killer alliance
Ready to roll again oh yeah
Personality #1
--------------
Hall, steps,
Silence everywhere,
Blindfold his way.
Personality #2
--------------
Oh I ain't going to never
Hurt you little girl
Personality #1
--------------
Why don't you open the damn thing?
Personality #3
--------------
Harm ego lies to know,
That all that stand will steal the light,
From those who never were.
I, teacher of mine,
Follow me into this try.
They didn't mean it to embrace you like
An empty mind, and then hide for all this time.
Raise your will
And all relay before your eyes.
The midway neglected,
When are some things wrong.
Mathematical feel of hope.
Personality #2
--------------
A breath with no lungs
Waste all your dreams
Girl I won't let you drawn again believe in my lie
Prey of you
Personality #1
--------------
Don't terrify
Personality #3
--------------
In the name of it all,
Please remind this:
Carrying hate for the weaker of all,
You will succumb in tears.
And they'll dry.
May knowing evil is a river in your way.
Everytime you underline (your feelings) with my blood.
(I feel alone)
But now, it doesn't matter cause
I still believe you lost in me everything,
Love.
(Field of lull)
And all I have been,
I've been for you.
(A dead end wherever you go)
I believe in you.
Part of me will always be you.
(Surrender to me)
I'm ready to break all these walls.
(Bring down to me)
Untie me to live on dreams I've sold long ago, yeah...
(I'll risk all to see)
Oh... I'm ready to die
(Turn this down)
Personality #2
--------------
Riming home with a break room
Tearing all the painful colors of my soul
A second from Explode away
uh Blow up away
Hide
Personality #1
--------------
Laughs.
The lyrics to Mindflow's song "Hide and Seek" seem to be a conversation between three different personalities or voices. The first personality begins by searching for someone, possibly looking for someone hiding under a bed. The second personality speaks of feeling damp and overcoming fear, while questioning their actions in terms of love. The third personality seems to be a mentor, encouraging the listener to raise their will and learn from mistakes, while recognizing the presence of evil.
Personality one returns, discussing the Reign of the Lost and hatred towards the weaker of all. They describe being in a threatening situation where they're being wasted and searching for a safe path. Personality two returns, describing the longing for love and the craving of touch, while acknowledging that they won't let anyone down. Personality three encourages the listener to recognize the hatred towards the weak which ultimately only leads to tears. They call for the listener to surrender to them and break down their walls, to turn away from anything that causes them pain.
Overall, the song seems to be discussing conflict and the search for safety and love. The conversation between the different personalities creates a sense of depth and intrigue to the lyrics, which can be open to interpretation.
