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.
Die for Me
Criss Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have I lost myself to someone else?
Truth, lie, to live or die
Makes no difference if you're never gonna fuckin' try
I know I'd die for you
Feed off my sorrow
(If you want me to)
Bleed for tomorrow
(If you want me to)
Will you die for me?
But will you die for me?
See me standing, so fucking cool
Wish you would be like me - a fool
Truth, lie, to live or die
Makes no difference, you're never gonna fuckin' try
I know I'll die for you
Feed off my sorrow
(If you want me to)
I know I'll die for you
Bleed for tomorrow
(If you want me to)
I know I'll die for you
Feed off my sorrow
(If you want me to)
I know I'll die for you
Can you feel it, can you see it, do you want me to
(Bleed for tomorrow)
Will you die for me?
But will you die for me?
I want you to...
I want you to...
I want you to...
I want you...
The lyrics of Criss Angel's Die for Me represent a compelling exploration of the subject of love and the lengths to which we can find ourselves willing to go for the ones we love. The opening lines of the song set the tone for this theme, as the singer expresses the sense of lost identity that can come with loving someone else deeply. The idea that one's life could be surrendered to another person is a powerful one, and the lyrics suggest that the singer has given serious thought to making such a sacrifice.
The chorus of the song repeats the assertion that the singer would die for the person they love- repeatedly they say that they would feed off their own sorrow or bleed for tomorrow if it meant doing what their lover wanted. This idea of choosing to suffer or die for someone else is a recurring theme in love songs, but the raw passion with which it is expressed in Die for Me adds a new intensity to the topic. The final line of the chorus asks a question that is both haunting and provocative- will you die for me? It's as if the singer is challenging their lover to prove that their love is as deep and meaningful as they claim it to be.
The verses of the song continue down the same path, with the singer describing themselves as 'standing so fucking cool' and wishing that their lover could be just like them. There is a sense of arrogance and superiority in these lines- as if the singer believes that they are more deserving of love and devotion than anyone else. But in the end, it is clear that what they are really looking for is someone who is willing to sacrifice as much as they are- someone who is willing to die for them.
Overall, Criss Angel's Die for Me is a powerful exploration of the complex emotions that come with loving another person. It raises difficult questions about the nature of sacrifice and the lengths we are willing to go for those we love, and does so with a raw intensity that is both captivating and challenging.

Sorry cannot accept. Maybe curse already spoken out, earlier. - Hanna? Found peaces of a broken book today, telling a story quite haunting. Rethink? Dracula and Jean of Arc. One Curse, one drinking, a war a crime a terrible result.
Guess go back to John, or Ian G. "Offenbarung 23"? Maybe John Carpenter, "In the Mouth of Madess" a curse taken from Arctica, everything leads in this direction.
Lovecraft, "Mountains of Madness", John Carpenter, "The Thing", "Arthur Gordon Pym", by Edgar Allan Poe, J.J. Abrams "Alien vs Predator" and a movie with Val Kilmer, getting infected on a cannibalistic fly finding out why a polar bear died.
Trying to impress or get rid of Corona.
"IT" by Stephen King.
"Remember the Curfew 7 PM"
Investigate. (To much similarties with John Carpenters, "The Thing" )
Vatikan already turned against, woreshipping "Lucifer"
"No blood should spill on the sacred hill!" - Remember.
Another tradition, started today, fields of free graves by people find dead to be burned to ashes. Are covered with wooden piles of the remains of trees, already shredderd.
Not to cold, to ask why? If it isn't used to keep ground soft or protect it freezing.
So what was it intended for?
