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".

Fly High Butterfly
Exilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello bright wings
You need to cover, maybe
You are fragile and the wind is cold here
The wind is cold here
That's why we feel lonely, we feel lonely
Don't look down
Don't look down
So grey around me
For every time you think your lost - lost
For every raindrop that will hurt,
Fly high, fly high,
For every butterfly that falls
Fly high butterfly
Fly my butterfly
Hello colours
Hello light wings
You need refuge, maybe
You're so small, the wind is blowing
The storm is coming
That's why we feel nothing
We feel suffering
So stay in flight
Don't look down
Everythings so fake around me
So grey around me
For every time you think your lost - lost
For every raindrop that will hurt,
Fly high, fly high,
For every butterfly tha falls
Fly high butterfly
Fly my butterfly
For every time you think your lost - lost
For every raindrop that will hurt,
Fly high, fly high,
For every butterfly that falls
Fly high butterfly
Fly my butterfly
Fly high
Fly high
Fly high
The lyrics of Exilia’s “Fly High Butterfly” are a message of hope, encouragement, and inspiration to anyone going through tough times. In these lyrics, the colorful and fragile butterfly represents each of us in our vulnerability and need for protection. The song tells us not to look down, not to give up, and not to get lost in the grey and fake things around us. Instead, we should fly high, no matter how many raindrops hurt us, and rise above our difficulties.
The first verse reminds us of how difficult it can be to face the real world when we are so fragile and vulnerable. The second verse speaks of a storm that is coming and how we suffer, but we are encouraged to stay in flight no matter what. The chorus repeats the message of flying high for every time we feel lost or hurt. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the phrases “fly my butterfly” and “fly high.”
The song is meant to inspire all those who feel lost, alone, or helpless to rise above their difficulties and keep flying. It reminds us that there is always hope if we keep going, and it encourages us to find our inner strength to overcome our challenges.
