History (unofficial version)
The group was formed in 1996 by Alexander Bard and Anders Wollbeck.
The history of the group can be divided into two distinct parts: before the departure of the group's leader Alexander Bard in 1999 and after his departure, since which the singer Mattias Lindblom has become the group's new leader. The first two full albums of 1997 and 1998 were characterized by classical music influences and socially-, politically- and even astronomically-themed lyrics, which are very unusual for synth pop music; the 2004 album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up to This", written by Wollbeck/Lindblom, steered away from synth pop to trance/techno and personal lyrics dealing with love and the meaning of life.

Mind Your Mind
Vacuum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need an answer
It's confusing
They won't let you go
Some kind of Judas
Do you see clearly
Cut them out
They'll never know you well
They are one to need you
One to bleed you
One to kill your time
There is one inside you
One will free you
One will mind your mind
You're a miracle confined
Sometimes you're with me
I lift you up
I see light in the dark colored sky
Who be the holy
Who be the angel
Keep love close
And don't ever let go
They'll never know you well
One, you're a miracle confined
One, you're a miracle confined
The lyrics to "Mind Your Mind" by Vacuum depict a struggle to find clarity and understanding amongst confusion and chaos. The first verse alludes to a search for meaningful answers, perhaps pertaining to spirituality or personal purpose. The lines "Some kind of holy, I need an answer" suggest a desire for guidance or enlightenment, but this quest is muddied by outside forces. The lyrics "They won't let you go" indicate the presence of some kind of oppressive force, blocking the singer's path to clarity.
The second verse delves deeper into this corrupting force, labeling it as "Some kind of Judas." This could be interpreted as a reference to betrayal, and the lyrics "Cut them out, trust the one's that you know" suggest a need to remove toxic influences from one's life. The chorus is perhaps the most telling section of the song, iterating the presence of multiple entities vying for control over the singer. The lines "They are one to need you, one to bleed you, one to kill your time" evoke a sense of manipulation and exploitation, and the repeated phrase "One will mind your mind" points to the central theme of the song - the importance of maintaining control over one's own thoughts and actions.
The song concludes with a glimmer of hope, as the singer finds companionship and support in an unknown subject. The line "Sometimes you're with me, I lift you up, I see light in the dark colored sky" implies a deep connection that offers solace even in the darkest of moments. Ultimately, the song's message seems to be one of empowerment - while external forces may try to influence us, we have the power to choose which voices we listen to and steer our own paths.
