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 ↴
As the story of my life zooms out of my mind
-[synth'd voice: "Don't give up"]-
I've come to realize, we're just a million kinds
-[sv: "Don't give up"]-
Pieces of dust, lost souls in the wind
-[sv: "Don't give up"]-
-[sv: "Don't give up"]-
And throughout the world,
I've traveled in the blink of an eye
-[sv: "Don't give up"]-
[Pre-Chorus]
-[Robot: "Supernatural,
Biomechanical, Mystikal, Magickal"]-
-[sv: "Don't give up"]-
Try to control myself,
Facing the demons before they control me
-[sv: "Don't give up"]-
Before they control me... (x2)
[Chorus]
Are you ready to... (x2)
-[Robot: "Are you ready to go?"]-
-(Into Amystika... Into Amystika)- (repeat)
...(Into Amystika)
Mmm...yeah, the reason I live...
Is the reason I die - It's really not fair...
Kayla: "Don't give up"
[Pre-Chorus] / [Chorus] ...(Into Amystika)
[Chorus x2] ...(Into Amystika, x3)
...Are you ready?
The lyrics to Criss Angel's song Nexus is packed with interesting imagery and deep contemplations about life and death. The song starts with an urgent call to c'mon, as if beckoning the listener to join the journey that the singer is on. As the story of the singer's life zooms out of his mind, he reflects on the million kinds of people that inhabit the earth, all just a collection of dust lost in the wind. The question of whether our lifetimes end before they begin is a haunting one, but one that the singer approaches with courage, as he has traveled throughout the world in the blink of an eye.
The pre-chorus features the repeated phrase "supernatural, biomechanical, mystikal, magickal," which adds to the mysterious and otherworldly feel of the song. The singer tries to control himself, facing the demons that threaten to control him and his destiny. The chorus is an invitation to the listener to join the singer on his journey, asking if they are ready to go into a realm called Amystika. The reason for the singer's existence and his eventual death is explored briefly in the lyric "the reason I live...Is the reason I die - It's really not fair," followed by the comforting message of "Don't give up."
