In fact, their 1989 debut, Fools Game, contained a cover of Rick James' funk classic "Superfreak," featuring scratches courtesy of DJ Aaron (Pause) Vaughn. After replacing Taffer with guitarist James Sanguinetti and making Vaughn a full-time member, the band decided to embrace their funk interests for their next, and perhaps best work, 1991's In This Life. They would record three more EPs and one final full length before disbanding in 1994.
As of 2008 the band has reformed and is planning to record a new demo.

State of Mind
Mordred Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dig deep into your psyche, do you find the scar?
Unlock subliminal secrets, touch me with your past
Then try to understand the way that you've been cast
Chorus
I have tried many times
To reveal my inner State of Mind
(Must be blind)
Your mind reveals itself, although it's hard to do
Don't fear the fury and passion that burns inside of you
Stare deep into my eyes, your body becomes relaxed
Strip layers from subconscious, discover past life facts
{Repeat chorus}
{Solos}
Can you see the substance of who you really are?
Dig deep into your psyche, do you find the scar?
I know it's just a theory with elements of doubt
Don't take it all too serious, that's not what we're about
{Repeat Chorus}
In Mordred's song "State of Mind," the lyrics urge the listener to examine themselves both physically and mentally. The song suggests that one should search deep within their psyche to uncover the truth behind their scars, examine their past experiences, and ultimately understand the way they have been cast. The chorus repeats the line "I have tried many times to reveal my inner State of Mind" which could mean that the singer has tried to understand themselves and come to terms with their past many times. The song also mentions the idea of subliminal secrets and past life facts that can be discovered through a deep examination of oneself.
The lyrics also suggest that one should not be afraid of the fury and passion that burns inside of them, and that by staring deep into someone's eyes, their body can become relaxed and layers of subconscious can be stripped away. The song ends with the lyrics "Don't take it all too serious, that's not what we're about", suggesting that whilst self-discovery and understanding is important, it's not necessary to take it too seriously.
Overall, "State of Mind" encourages self-reflection and exploration in a way that is not necessarily overly serious, but still meaningful.
