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.

Criss Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Post apocalyptic magician
With a lyrical creation
Welcome back Harry Houdini
I show ya, show ya, show ya how I do that trick
The one that makes you scream and kick
Amystika
Kayla, where are you?
Another place I want to be
Another day I want -
Supernatural, bio-mechanical, mystical, magical
(Don't give up)
Ah, ah, copycat... copycat
Why
Why, God, my friend is gone?
Why, God, my friend is gone?
My fear, my fear
(C'mon, c'mon)
It's holding me stillborn
Thinking on the times of my demise and -
Fear
I would die for you
Just to be with you
Come alive, she said to me
I'm alive, you wanna be
Come alive, she said to me
I'm alive alone
Kayla: I'm over here
Woman: I'm your obsession
Robot: You're doin' not good
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Bring the pieces together
I'll be the one to create you
Kayla: My love... I'm always here...
Just dream of me
Robot: You're doin' not good
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

The "natural" spelling is, "Amystika" (or "Amystica")
-- The spelling, "AMIXtika", is a play-on-words,
which is the Title of the last track of "System 3"...
It is titled/spelled that way, because it's a "reMIX" ("mash-up")
including small segments of most of the songs, all MIXed together.
(The word itself, is already a play-on-words, for "a mystical"...
as in, "in to a mystical world of illusion", and so on).
The lyrics to Criss Angel's song "Amixtika" are a mix of post-apocalyptic and mystical elements that come together nicely to create this haunting track. The song starts with a nod to the famous magician Harry Houdini, and Criss Angel's abilities as a magician are showcased throughout the song. The lyrics "I show ya, show ya, show ya how I do that trick// The one that makes you scream and kick" demonstrate his prowess as a magician and his ability to create awe-inspiring illusions.
The song is also a reflection of Criss Angel's personal journey, dealing with loss and fear. The lines "My fear, my fear// It's holding me stillborn//Thinking on the times of my demise and -//Fear" showcase the underlying themes of anxiety and loss that run throughout the song. However, he also provides hope through the chorus, with the repeated phrase "Amystika" representing a mystical world that he invites his listeners to enter. The lyrics "Come alive, she said to me//I'm alive, you wanna be//Come alive, she said to me//I'm alive alone" represent a call to action and a reminder that there can be beauty in the darkness.
Overall, "Amixtika" is a song that showcases Criss Angel's strengths as both a musician and a magician, with the lyrics invoking a post-apocalyptic world that is equal parts mystical and bio-mechanical.
