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 ↴
What do you see?
Darkness and what lies within me?
Through my mind's eye, you will awake
And see the lines of reality blur.
Welcome to my Mind... Freak
Criss Angel is a magician, illusionist, and musician who has very thought-provoking and deep lyrics in this song “Scarecrow.” The opening lines itself, “Close your eyes, what do you see? Darkness and what lies within me?” instantly connects with the listeners and brings them closer to the song. Here, the singer is trying to take the listeners on a journey that begins with introspection. We are asked to look within ourselves and examine what we see. This line is followed by the second line, which is even more thought-provoking. It suggests that we are not just looking into ourselves, but we are also trying to explore the darkness that is within us. The message suggests that everyone has their own demons, and one must acknowledge them to move forward.
As we move on, we reach the line “Through my mind's eye, you will awake, And see the lines of reality blur.” This line suggests that the artist is taking the listener through a different dimension - a realm of imagination and creativity where one can see beyond their understanding of reality. He tries to lure his listener into his world, where everything is possible. The line “Welcome to my Mind... Freak” is the ultimate message, where the artist invites his listener to come and explore his mind, which is a place of magic.

It's spellbinding! Sinister yet amazing. It rattled me to the core it was so amazing! I swear, when Criss looks directly into the camera and gives it his famous stare (that's what I call the intense look in his eyes) it's like he's looking through you, into the depths of your mind and soul! Oh my, that sent shivers running up my spine, in a good way, but WOW!!!! WOW, WOW, WOW AND WOW, I look up to Criss because of his amazing talent and abilities, but this is just PERFECT! Sorry, I know I'm babbling but I can't help it, this video is the real deal! Hey, any chance you could ask him to do a duo with me? JK, but that would be a dream come true for me. Okay, gushing over the video, although I'm tempted to just keep going... :):):):):):):):):):):):):) Again, this is an amazing video and I thank you so much for putting this together! GO CRISS ANGEL, YOU RICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
