Exilia was formed in 1998 in Milan, Italy, when Masha met guitarist Elio Alien.
They have played at concerts with Guano Apes, H-Blockx, Clawfinger, HIM, Therapy?, In Extremo, Rammstein, and Ill Niño.
Their debut album, "Rightside UP", was released in 2000. Their following album, "Unleashed", debuted in May 2004, and made it into the Top 40 in German charts. In April 2005, band member Andrea Ge left the band and Ale took his place as drummer.
In summer 2006 they released their newest album "Nobody Excluded".
During their festival tour, Masha had an accident while the band was playing Milan. The stage was not safe and she was falling down and broke her leg twice. Following this incident the band canceled all shows and played them later in 2007.
At the beginning of 2007 they found a new bassist, Mata, because Random could not play the next gigs (Nobody Excluded Tour) with Exilia. Mata and Exilia have known each other since 2001. They played some shows in Italy together.
The last single released in October 2006 was "Your Rain".

Emptiness of You
Exilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Being so fragile
The pain you felt once more
It's too late
I feel the blame
Now I'm lying on the floor
I'm hating me
It's killing me
I'm hating me
It's killing me
It's forcing me to fall
I'm calling your name
Calling you now
Emptiness is falling
Like tears in my room
I need to scream
Because I need you
Emptiness of you
Before I say goodbye
You realized
You couldn't fight
Those wounds that hurt so much
Left behind
I feel so blind
Did I betray your love?
I'm hating me
It's killing me
It's forcing me to fall
I'm hating me
It's killing me
It's forcing me to fall
I'm calling your name
Calling you now
Emptiness is falling
Like tears in my room
I need to scream
Because I need you
Emptiness of you
Before I say goodbye
I'm calling you now - Can you hear me?
I'm calling you now - Can you feel me?
I'm calling you now - Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Emptiness is falling
Like tears in my room
I need to scream
Because I need you
Emptiness of you
Before I say goodbye
Goodbye
Emptiness is falling
Like tears in my room
I need to scream
Emptiness of you
Before I say goodbye
bye
bye
bye
I say goodbye
bye
bye
bye
I say goodbye
bye
bye
Goodbye
