ELYSION was founded in 2006 by guitarist Johnny Zero & by singer Maxi Nil who, by welcoming on board talented musicians of different backgrounds, soon shaped up a highly promising team, with music approach consisting of many shades of atmospheric and metal elements mixed pop/rock formulas as well as alternative/electro and Gothic influences. Recording the demo right away, which was immediately elected as “Demo of The Month” in Metal Hammer Magazine, ELYSION received excellent critics in webzines and magazines, complimenting utmost on the exceptionally professional sound witch gladly matched European and American high standards. Giving their first interview to Metalmare Magazine (GR), ELYSION right from their very first months of active presence were hosted in numerous columns and were interviewed for radio stations and TV music shows, all this causing the music soon to spread and help them receive several awards (one of them being Fillipos Nakas pop and rock awards 2006 for best band). In the following time ELYSION, among many concerts, were invited to headline in important rock and metal events and also had the pleasure to support a great number of top artists of the scene, most importantly The Gathering, Christian Death, Diary of Dreams, Star Industry. In July 2008, ELYSION’s frontwoman was honored to be invited to join the stage with Moonspell in “Rock ‘em All Festival” presenting Pain of Salvation, Meshuggah, Lacuna Coil, Iced Earth, Venom and perform as a guest singer by the side of Fernando Ribeiro.
Also in 2008 the band separated their paths with Maxi Nil under good faith and Christianna was the next front woman. Then they entered the studio for the recordings of debut album, which, achieving to be an excellent sample of ELYSION’s potential, soon attracted the attention of numerous record labels, leading in signing up with Massacre Records. In the next months ELYSION completed mixing and mastering of the album, having the great privilege to work with America’s top engineer Ted Jensen (Madonna, Evanescence, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Nickelback, Korn, Marilyn Manson) and have their music mastered in his very owned Sterling Sound Studios, thereby gaining and important advantage of very high -standards production. The cover of the album is created by Natalie Shau (Lacuna Coil, Poison Black, The Duskfall). The artwork and the photographs of the booklet is a creation of Seth Siro Anton (Moonspell, Paradise Lost, Exodus, Soilwork, Septic Flesh). In current time, ELYSION in terms of promoting debut album “Silent Scr3am” which is to be released in fall 2009, are touring Greece and making the final arrangements for their European and American tour.

Elysion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel you
Don't say a word
I know how it feels to lose somebody
I see you
Walking upon your life alone
Like everybody

Nobody knows

What's about to happen
The feeling's getting strong
How I long the years of serenity
Nobody cares
What's about to happen
The feeling's getting strong
How I long the years of serenity

I feel you
Don't say a word
Now all I've ever dreamed
Is feel somebody
I see you
Walking upon your life alone
Like everybody

Nobody knows
What's about to happen
The feeling's getting strong
How I long the years of serenity
Nobody cares
What's about to happen
The feeling's getting strong
How I long the years of serenity

I feel you
I see you
Walking upon your life alone
I feel you
I see you
Walking upon your life alone

Nobody knows
What's about to happen
The feeling's getting strong
How I long the years of serenity
Nobody cares
What's about to happen
The feeling's getting strong
How I long the years of serenity

No...Nobody knows
The feeling's getting strong
How I long the years of serenity
No...Nobody cares

The feeling's getting strong
How I long the years of serenity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elysion's song "Don't Say A Word" portrays a sense of loss and loneliness. The lyrics suggest that the singer understands what it feels like to lose someone and sees someone else going through the same experience. The line "walking upon your life alone, like everybody" exemplifies how losing someone is a universal experience, and the singer understands this. The repetition of "nobody knows" and "nobody cares" in the song implies that the singer is feeling isolated and that no one can understand the depth of their emotions.

The chorus, "what's about to happen, the feeling's getting strong, how I long the years of serenity," could signify a feeling of impending doom and that the singer wishes to go back to a time of peace and calm. The repetition of "I feel you, I see you" could suggest empathy towards the person who is dealing with loss, and the singer might be trying to offer comfort by saying they understand what the other person is going through.
