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.
Fear
Criss Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel no release - I wanna' find my peace of mind
...(Can you forgive?)
[Chorus]
My fear, my fear (Ah, come on)
It's holding me stillborn (Ah, ah)
My fear, my fear (Come on, come on)
...Don't fear (Don't fear) (repeat x4)
...*(Gotta' get rid of the pain) (?- best guess)
You stole the innocence,
From a child to be no more
Blinded by the silence,
Afraid to ever speak a word
...(Can you forgive?)
[Chorus (alt)] (line 1 ends "(Come on, x2)")
...Don't fear (Don't fear) (repeat x3)
...(Ah, ah) Don't... Fear...
...*(Gotta' get rid of the pain)
...Fear ...*(Gotta' get rid of the pain)
[Bridge]
Thinking on the times of my demise,
And I wish it wasn't me they victimized
And I don't know - Really can't see,
How I really couldn't kill,
The mother fu*'r that violated me
[Chorus (alt)] / [Bridge (alt)]:
-(lines 2 & 5 ends "(Don't fear)")-
Thinking on the times of my demise ...(Don't you)
And I wish it wasn't me they victimized ...(Fear)
And I don't know - Really can't see,
How I really couldn't kill...
...*(I've run out of fear) (?- best guess)
The lyrics of Criss Angel's song "Fear" speak about the pain and fear of a person who has experienced trauma in their past. The first verse establishes that the singer is unable to move on from their past, feeling trapped and unable to find peace. The line "Can you forgive?" suggests that the singer may be seeking forgiveness, possibly from a higher power or a person who they feel wronged them. The chorus repeats the phrase "My fear, my fear" as a mantra, emphasizing the hold that fear has over the singer. However, in the final line of the chorus, the singer declares that they will "never fear again," indicating a desire to overcome their fear.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's trauma, specifically referencing the theft of their innocence as a child. The line "Afraid to ever speak a word" suggests that the singer may have been silenced or threatened into keeping their trauma a secret. The chorus repeats with slight variations, including the addition of the line "Gotta' get rid of the pain," which reinforces the singer's desire to move past their trauma.
The bridge introduces the theme of revenge, with the singer admitting to fantasizing about killing their abuser. The line "And I don't know - Really can't see, How I really couldn't kill," suggests that the singer may be struggling with guilt surrounding their desire for revenge. The chorus and bridge are repeated with slight variations, including the addition of the line "I've run out of fear" in the final line.
Overall, "Fear" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the trauma and fear experienced by survivors of abuse and trauma. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and emotional pain, but also suggest a desire to overcome fear and find peace.
