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 ↴
"Journey w/ me through my mind's eye"
Robot:
"Control yourself, before your Self controls You"
"Control yourself, before your Self controls You"
"Control..."
"I'm your obsession..."
"Burn you..."
"I'm your desire..."
-(Kayla groans, moans)-
Kayla: "Give in to me...", "Give in to me..."
Criss: "No!"
"My mind's playing tricks on me"
"My mind's playing tricks..."
"My mind's playing tricks on me"
"My mind's playing tricks..."
"My mind's playing tricks..."
"Inside, I feel you come alive..."
-(Kayla groans, moans)-
Robot:
"Control yourself, before your Self controls You"
"Control yourself, before your Self controls You"
The lyrics of Criss Angel's Inhuman describe the journey into his mind's eye. The first lines of the song invite the listener to join him on this journey. The lyrics highlight the importance of having control over one's self, before it is controlled by the dark desires and obsessions within. This is reiterated by the robot's repetitive warning to "control yourself, before your Self controls You".
The song then introduces Kayla's seductive voice, who represents this darkness and obsession within. She sings, "I'm your obsession, burn you...I'm your desire". Her moans and groans signify the tempting nature of these alluring and dark desires that threaten to take control of one's self.
Criss, however, resists her call to "give in to me" and acknowledges the tricks that his own mind is playing on him. He repeats this phrase, "My mind's playing tricks on me", emphasizing how our own thoughts can deceive us and lead us astray. Despite his reluctance, he acknowledges that he feels these inner desires coming alive within him, which is what the robot's warnings are concerned about.
Overall, the lyrics of Inhuman reveal the internal battles that we all face with our desires and obsessions, and the importance of having control over our thoughts and actions before they control us.

Criss Angel is very talented & handsome! This song Inhuman is great! I absolutely love Criss Angel! I hope to meet him someday at The Luxor in Las Vegas! I doubt it very much if that will ever happen! I have seen his BeLIEve performance at The Luxor 3 times. His performance is more like WOW! If you should go to Las Vegas, Nevada, I highly recomend that you see Criss Angel BeLIEve at The Luxor.
