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".

Exilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, I’m swimming in your eyes
I am sailing in your soul
Waiting for your last confession
I, I am diving into your mind
I, I am running through your blood
Waiting for your last reflection
Waiting for you
What will you do?
Will you run away?
Will you say goodbye?
Will you disappear?
Was it just a lie?
Will you run away?
And steal a piece of me forever
I, I’m in bliss when you’re so blind
Th’more you say th’more you lie
And if I switch my direction?
N’hide, can you read my thoughts inside?
What if I do change my mind,
And sit back with no reaction?
Waiting for you
What will you do?
Will you run away?
Will you say goodbye?
Will you disappear?
Was it just a lie?
Will you run away?
Take a piece of me forever
Forever
I swear to you
I swear to you
You’ll never forget this,
Never forget it
You'll never forget this
I swear you
Will never ever forget me
Never forget this
Never forget it
I swear...
Will you run away?
Will you say goodbye?
Will you disappear?
Was it just a lie?
Will you run away?
Steal a piece of me forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Steal a piece of me forever
Take a piece of me..
The song "Forever" by Exilia explores the vulnerable yet intense emotions that come with waiting for someone to make a choice. The singer's raw vocals convey a sense of longing and desperation for the other person to give their final answer. The lyrics express the singer's desire to be accepted and loved by the other person, and how much they fear being left behind.
In the opening line of the song, the singer reveals that they feel as though they are lost in the other person's eyes and that they are diving into their mind. This suggests a strong emotional connection between them. However, the second verse presents a darker tone where the singer is unsure of how to react if the other person chooses to leave. The chorus repeats the question "Will you run away?" three times, each time accompanied by different scenarios, emphasizing the uncertainty surrounding the future.
The song also features a powerful declaration in the bridge, where the singer swears that the other person will never forget them. This suggests that while the outcome may be uncertain, the singer is determined to be remembered and remain a significant part of the other person's life.
