2006-present
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.

Killing My Dreams
Elysion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why they no more belong to us
Cries in the sky pray to believe
My heart and soul will never forgive
We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams
My heart cries out for the touch I will never have
Before my eyes you've burnt everything I loved
I'm on the edge and you're forcing me not to fall
You'll never see me crawl
We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams
We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams
Why have ourselves abandoned us
Why they no more belong to us
Cries in the sky pray to believe
My heart and soul will never forgive
We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams
We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams
The lyrics of Elysion's song "Killing My Dreams" explore the concept of personal betrayal and abandonment. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer cannot understand why they have been abandoned by themselves - this could be interpreted as a loss of personal identity, self-esteem or belief - and why they no longer feel part of their own life. The cries in the sky suggest that the singer is seeking guidance or redemption from a higher power, but they are struggling to believe that they can be helped. The lines "My heart and soul will never forgive" suggest that this sense of abandonment has caused deep and lasting emotional damage.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more aware of the ways in which they feel they have been used and abused. The repetition of the lines "We are all being used, our lives have been abused" highlights the idea that the singer sees their situation as part of a wider issue affecting many people. Despite this pain, the singer acknowledges that no one is resisting - there is no one fighting back against the forces that have caused this hurt. This sense of powerlessness is made more acute by the closing lines of the song, which suggest that the singer's dreams have been killed. They may feel that life is no longer worth living if they cannot have the things they once hoped for.
Overall, "Killing My Dreams" is a song about pain, betrayal, and loss. The lyrics invite the listener to contemplate the ways in which they may have been let down by themselves, by others around them, or by the world at large. The repetition of specific phrases and lines helps to create a sense of numbness or despair that echoes the singer's feelings of hopelessness.

Back in 2012 was the worst time in my life. I remember listening to this song at the time. Now I can hear it without pain. And appreciate it's true beauty.
