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.

Someplace Better
Elysion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no wind to blow your sins away
After all could you be wrong?
When your heart is broken walkin' alone
Walkin' alone
You're sayin', I'm sayin'
Memories won't last for ever
You're strayin', I'm strayin'
Won't you take me someplace better?
It's all there, everywhere
In your time of need there's nothing to bear
There's a light that you can find
When you're gone see all got left behind
Left behind
You're sayin', I'm sayin'
Memories won't last for ever
You're strayin', I'm strayin'
Won't you take me someplace better?
You're sayin', I'm sayin'
Agony is not your prayer
You're strayin', I'm strayin'
Won't you take me someplace better?
Another day
Just goes on by
Don't drift away...
The lyrics to "Someplace Better" by Elysion evoke feelings of longing for something more, for a place where one can escape the difficulties of life, and for a way to heal a broken heart. The first lines, "Deep inside, day by day / There's no wind to blow your sins away," suggest that the singer is feeling trapped in their own thoughts and struggles to find a way to move on from their past. They question whether they could be wrong in their actions that led to their current situation, and express the pain of "walkin' alone" through it all.
The chorus of the song repeatedly asks for someone to take them "someplace better," longing for an escape from their current reality. The imagery of a light that can be found when they are gone and all that is left behind suggests that the singer is looking for a new beginning, a fresh start, and a way to leave their troubles behind. The repetition of the lines "You're sayin', I'm sayin'" in the chorus suggests a conversation between two people, with one asking for help and the other acknowledging the pain they are feeling.
Overall, the lyrics to "Someplace Better" evoke a sense of desperation for a way out of a difficult situation and a desire to find a place of healing and hope.

17:54 Awake
I'm waiting for your call, keep waiting till you fall
As the night turns to day
I've waited here so long, it's almost time I'm gone
As my tears meet day
Dream the night away
You know I would have everything, if this all wasn't fake
Sleep our love away
I've never asked for anything
Sleep on, I'll be gone
Before you're awake
I'm waiting for your touch, keep waiting for too much
As my fears, all await
I've waited here so long, it's funny how you've thrown
All these years away
Dream the night away
You know I would have everything, if this all wasn't fake
Sleep our love away
I've never asked for anything
Sleep on, I'll be gone
Before you're awake
Dream the night away
You know I would have everything, if this all wasn't fake
Sleep our love away
I won’t blame you for anything
Sleep on, I'll be gone
Before you're awake

13:52 Our Fate
For heaven you're craving, of which you're deprived
The lust that you're having is never satisfied
A moment of weakness, that's when you appeared
The cruelty I've witnessed is no more present here
No more lying
Self denying
You've sealed your fate
No coming back to you
All the tears I've cried get your coming back to me denied
A million lies you've put me through
Now the spark has died
There's no coming back to you, no coming back to us
I'm shutting all windows and sealing the doors
I did let you come close, but I'll be never yours
I'll shiver in fear, for memories to fade
I've wished you were here, but now it's just too late
No more lying
Self denying
You've sealed your fate
No coming back to you
All the tears I've cried get your coming back to me denied
A million lies you've put me through
Now the spark has died
There's no coming back to you, no coming back to us
For long I have waited for tears to dry out
Now everything in my head cries out our chance is long gone
No matter how badly I've wished otherwise
Everything whispers that you have sadly sealed our fate
No coming back to you
All the tears I've cried get your coming back to me denied
A million lies you've put me through
Now the spark has died
There's no coming back to you, no coming back to us

One of my favorite albums.
