DJ Ease My Mind
Niki & the Dove Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a, in a deep sleep
Awakened by the dragons
Kept you hidden, here with me
Was not prepared, for a dead end

Take me, take me downtown
Tonight, I want to forget
I want lights to blind me
I want peace, want to disappear

Oh oh, DJ, ease my mind, will you?
Play that song again, 'cause we were in love
Before, before the rain began
And if I cry, I cover my ears

A foreign hand, and runaway horses
Restless doubt heart, in a vision
I did not see, see it coming
Now it's in my blood, now it's in my blood

Oh oh, DJ, ease my mind, will you?
Play that song again, 'cause we were in love
Before, before the rain began
And if I cry, I cover my ears

(Play that song again)

Oh oh, DJ, ease my mind, will you?
Play that song again, 'cause we were in love
Before, before the rain began
And if I cry, I cover my ears

Oh oh, DJ, ease my mind, will you?
Play that song again, 'cause we were in love




When we heard it the first time
And if I cry, I cover my ears

Overall Meaning

The start of the song portrays the singer as in a deep sleep when suddenly awakened by the presence of dragons. Though the dragons awaken her, she is still kept hidden and safe. The line, "Was not prepared, for a dead end" seems to imply that she was not ready for this unexpected turn in her life, but she was able to find a safe haven in the midst of it all.


The singer then asks the DJ to ease her mind by playing a song that they listened to when they were in love. The lyrics "before, before the rain began" imply that something has gone wrong in the singer's life, and she wants to go back to when things were simpler and happier. This is further supported by the fact that she wants the lights to blind her and disappear. It seems that the singer's heart is restless with doubt, and she's experiencing some kind of foreign pain, as if she's not used to this feeling.


Overall, the lyrics of this song are vivid and poetic, and they paint a picture of someone who is going through a difficult time and just wants to go back to a time when things were better. The DJ and the music serve as a kind of time machine that takes her back to a simpler time, where she can forget her problems for a little while.

In a, in a deep sleep
I was in a deep sleep


Awakened by the dragons
Woke up suddenly to problems


Kept you hidden, here with me
I kept you hidden with me


Was not prepared, for a dead end
I wasn't ready for things to end badly


Take me, take me downtown
Take me to the city


Tonight, I want to forget
I want to forget everything tonight

I want the lights to be so bright that I can't see anything else


I want peace, want to disappear
I want to disappear and find peace


Oh oh, DJ, ease my mind, will you?
Please, DJ, play a song that will ease my mind


Play that song again, 'cause we were in love
Play that song again because it reminds me of when we fell in love


Before, before the rain began
Before everything went wrong


And if I cry, I cover my ears
I don't want to hear my own crying


A foreign hand, and runaway horses
Unexpected events that are out of control


Restless doubt heart, in a vision
I have a troubling feeling in my heart and in my mind's eye


I did not see, see it coming
I couldn't have foreseen this happening


Now it's in my blood, now it's in my blood
Now it's a part of me

Please, DJ, play a song that will ease my mind

Please, DJ, play a song that will ease my mind

Play that song again because it reminds me of when we fell in love


When we heard it the first time
When we first heard the song


And if I cry, I cover my ears
I don't want to hear my own crying
