1. Angeldust is an industrial rock band Criss Angel. In the mid-1990s, magician Criss Angel asked industrial musician Klay Scott (of Circle of Dust fame) to incorporate a soundtrack for his 'World of Illusion' theatrical stage shows. At the time, Klay put Circle of Dust on hold and formed random music projects such as Brainchild and Argyle Park. With the disbandment of Argyle Park, Klay and Criss both agreed to form an industrial rock band of their own, featuring Dave Sussman (later of Bile and Vajra) on guitar for the live band. The project was called Angeldust in the early years and for the release of the first soundtrack-album 'Musical Conjurings From World of Illusion' in 1998, however the project was later rebranded to coincide with two further soundtrack volumes and simply released under the Criss Angel title instead of Angeldust and redubbed the 'System' trilogy in 2000.
As Klay and Criss began to write the songs, they began to develop a strong friendship. Both loved to make the same type of music and both had the same cyberpunk visual image that was incorporated heavily into the World of Illusion stage-shows. Angeldust did not last that long as Criss went onto to further his solo illusionist career and Klay formed his latest project, Celldweller. Up to this day, even though both men are busy with their own successful projects, Klay still helps Criss Angel make music for his popular Mindfreak television show, most notably the theme song to the show. Accordingly, Klayton can be seen in the Mindfreak music video, playing guitar and keyboards. Select songs from the System trilogy have since been compiled and re-released on the Criss Angel Mindfreak soundtrack.
2. Angeldust is Pia Nadine Marienfeld, a hardcore producer and DJ from Essen, Germany.
3. Angeldust is the noise project of Jacob Anodide, Nate Davis and Robert Francisco.
4. Angeldust is one of the many projects of trance producer Aldwin Oomen.

Angeldust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
-("Wake up, wake up", she said)-
-(As darkness descends on his dim life)-
-("Wake up" - "I'm alive and alone")-
-("A lost soul in a world of illusion")-
-(If we are not one - "Wake up, wake up...")-
-(Burn... "Wake up, wake up...")-
--------------------------------
I've come to realize that,
We're just but a million kinds
A piece of dust - Lost souls in the wind
Do our lifetimes end before they begin?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so happy - I'm so gay
All is well that ends well...
[Chorus]
"Come alive", She said to me
"I'm alive", you wanna be
"Come alive", She said to me
...I'm alive alone ...I'm alive alone
Wake up, wake up... (Burn)
Wake up, wake up... Burn, mother, burn, burn
A toe tag ends the tale of a life insignificant
Or so they say in the news today
Smiling faces, live for the moment
But before you know it,
They'll be reading off the tag on your toe
[Chorus] ...I'm alive alone ...I'm alive alone
Wake up, wake up - Wake up and live
Wake up & breathe, & burn, mother, burn, burn
...(repeat)
[Pre-Chorus] / [Chorus]...
...I'm alive alone, (To me) (x3)
...I'm alive alone
The song "Come Alive" by Angeldust introduces us to a man who is living a dull and meaningless existence- his life is enveloped in darkness. The woman in the song encourages him to wake up and come alive. The lyrics follow a theme of lost souls wondering if their lifetimes end before they begin, a reflection of the mundanity of life when we fail to seize the opportunities that come our way. The song suggests that we are all just a million kinds, a piece of dust that can easily be forgotten when we do not make conscious efforts to come alive. The chorus repeats the phrase "Come alive" and "I'm alive alone" as if to reiterate the importance of finding a renewed sense of purpose in life.
The song discusses the futility of living for the moment, as indicated by the lyric "Smiling faces, live for the moment, but before you know it, they'll be reading off the tag on your toe." This refers to the idea that life is fleeting and that we should make the most of it while we can. Finally, the song ends with the mantra "Wake up and live, and burn mother burn," essentially urging us as listeners to wake up and grasp the fleeting moments in life before it's too late.
