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.

Weakness In Your Eyes
Elysion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My eyes are heavy
Morpheus comes the gift that he's carrying
Is me in his arms
Blue is his veil and stars are his eyes
I lay on his hands
My loneliness I cannot stand

I've been needin' a hand

For too long
I've been needin' a friend
I'm not strong
Will you give me the strength?

I believed in you and you fooled me
Why?

I can see weakness in your eyes
Seems you need a hand
I'm taking your soul
And I can smell the fear in your heart
Seems you need a hand
I'm taking your soul away

Gotta wake up
Let me wake up
Gotta wake up
From this dream

I've been needin' a hand
For too long
I've been needin' a friend
I'm not strong
Will you give me the strength?

I can see weakness in your eyes
Seems you need a hand
I'm taking your soul
And I can smell the fear in your heart

Seems you need a hand
I'm taking your soul away

Overall Meaning

The song "Weakness In Your Eyes" by Elysion is a hauntingly beautiful piece that delves into themes of loneliness, betrayal, and the search for strength in a world that can often be cruel and unforgiving. The opening lines of the song, "My eyes are heavy, Morpheus comes the gift that he's carrying, Is me in his arms" introduce the character of Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams, who is carrying the singer in his arms, possibly symbolizing the sleep that provides temporary escape from the pain and struggles of life. The singer then describes Morpheus, saying "Blue is his veil and stars are his eyes," which paints a vivid picture of the dream world and the beauty that exists within it.

However, the singer quickly realizes that this dream world is not enough to escape the harsh realities of life, as they say "My loneliness I cannot stand, I've been needing a hand for too long, I've been needing a friend, I'm not strong." The singer is clearly in need of support and strength, and they call out to someone, asking "Will you give me the strength?" The middle section of the song takes a darker turn, as the singer reveals that they had placed their trust in someone who ended up betraying them. They ask why this happened, and the lyrics "I can see weakness in your eyes, Seems you need a hand, I'm taking your soul, And I can smell the fear in your heart, Seems you need a hand, I'm taking your soul away" suggest that the person who betrayed them was also in a vulnerable and weak state. The singer seems to be taking control of the situation, claiming the other person's soul and suggesting that they will now be the stronger one. The song ends with the singer pleading to wake up from this dream and asking once more for someone to give them the strength they need to face life's challenges.
