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) 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', 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 dubbed the 'System' trilogy.

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.

Enrapture
Criss Angel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kayla: "My love, I'm always here..."
"Just dream of me..."

My fear, (x2), ...it's holding me stillborn

Thinkin' of the times when we were one (Mmm)
And the music that was just begun
And I don't know, really cant see,

How we ended up separated,
Separated in this world of illusion (repeat)

Kayla: Thinkin' of the times when we were one
& now we're left in this world of illusion (repeat)

Criss: C'mon, c'mon
Kayla: I don't wanna' be without you now
Criss: Mmm...mmm
Kayla: In this world of illusion
Criss: C'mon, c'mon

Thinkin' of the times when we were one -(Mmm)-
-(My fear)- And the music that was just begun
-(My fear)- And I don't know, really cant see,
-(My fear)- How we ended up separated,
-(It's holding me stillborn)-
Separated in this world of illusion

Mmm...mmm... c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Kayla: I'm over here, Criss, I'm over here
Criss: Kayla?!
Kayla: Criss?!
Criss: Kayla, where are you?

Kayla: I'm over here
Criss: I can see you... No! (...breathes heavily)

Overall Meaning

The song "Enrapture" by Criss Angel is a haunting and melancholic ballad that delves deep into the themes of separation and illusion. The song opens with Kayla's vocals, assuring her love that she is always there, asking them to dream of her. But the fear that grips the singer is holding them still, paralyzing them. The singer reminisces about the past when they were one, and the music was just beginning. But now separated in this world of illusion and can't see how they ended up in this state. The song's energy is somber, and the lyrics perfectly portray a person drowning in their emotions, trying to find a way to escape the grip of fear.

As the song progresses, the duet between Kayla and Criss becomes more intense. Kayla is pleading for her love not to leave her alone in this world of illusion, and Criss is frantically searching for her. The repetition of the line "thinkin' of the times when we were one" drives home the idea that they were once united, but something happened to tear them apart.

Overall, "Enrapture" is a powerful song that deals with emotions that are relatable to anyone who has ever experienced the pain of separation and the fear of being alone.

I actually did a modern dance performance to this song in high school. The head ballet teacher who was ALWAYS known for being an asshole actually pulled me aside and said he LOVED it. That was one of the proudest moments of my life in high school.
