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".

No Destination
Exilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crucified for what I'm not and what I'll be
Every day is another day to face the truth
Will i ever change or will I run away?
I'm looking for a destination and
I don't belong here
Won't you look into my eyes
I can't find my way home
I can't find my way home
Drowning in the darkness that I feel
Feeling out for a place, a stranger in my skin
There's no way to hide, escape in this dark cave
Going 'round in circles, digging my own grave
I'm looking for a destination,
And I'm bleeding from your desolation
And I don't belong here
Won't you look into my eyes
Won't you tell me some more lies
I can't find my way home
I can't find my way home
There's no way out
No way out
No way out
I'm feeling trapped
I feel trapped
I feel trapped
There's no way out
I'm lost in a labyrinth
The song "No Destination" by Exilia talks about feeling lost and trapped in one's own life. The first stanza describes how the singer feels like they are stuck in a maze of fate and circumstances that they cannot control. The line "Crucified for what I'm not and what I'll be" seems to suggest that the singer feels judged and punished for not living up to the expectations of others or society. They express a desire for change but wonder if they have the courage to face the truth and make it happen. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm looking for a destination and I don't belong here", indicating that the singer just wants to find a place where they feel like they fit in and belong.
The second stanza continues to explore the singer's feelings of isolation and despair. They feel like a stranger in their own skin and are searching for a way out of the darkness they are drowning in. The line "digging my own grave" suggests that the singer's struggle is partly self-inflicted, perhaps due to self-doubt or self-sabotage. The lyrics "I'm bleeding from your desolation" are particularly poignant, implying that the feeling of being alone and lost is not just internal but also inflicted by others. The chorus repeats the same lines again, emphasizing the desperation of the singer's quest for a destination and a sense of belonging.
Overall, the song "No Destination" conveys a strong message about the pain of feeling lost and disconnected. The lyrics are raw and emotional, capturing the feeling of being trapped in a maze with no clear way out. The singer's longing for a destination and a sense of belonging is something that many people can relate to, making this song particularly powerful and impactful.
