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".

Over the Edge
Exilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When there’s nothing left and you’re inside a lie
Have you ever had your say?
One place, one ride, one chance
Have you found a way through?
To stop your doom
This is what we get this what we got
I can’t see, I can’t see no heaven
Is it a trip to nowhere?
I am staring over the edge
Of what you put me through
If I take my life away
Fall down there and get some shelter
I’m staring at the end
Of what you put me through
Have you ever had a price to pay?
Or sold yourself to get a little ride
Have you ever found your place?
The why, a way to live or die
Will you stop your doom?
This is what we get this what we got
This is what we get this what we got
I can’t see, I can’t see no heaven
Is it a trip to nowhere?
I’m staring over the edge
Of what you put me through
If I take my life away
Fall down there and get some shelter
I’m staring at the end
Of what you put me through
Heaven is a lie, a lie
Heaven is a lie, a lie
Heaven is a lie, a lie
I can’t see no heaven
Is it trip to nowhere?
I am staring at the end
Of what you put me through
If I take my life away
Fall down there and get some shelter
I’m staring over the edge
Of what you put me through
I can’t see no heaven
It’ s just a trip to nowhere
I am staring at the end
Of what you put me through
If I cut the cord to life
Fall down there and get some shelter
I’m staring over the edge
Of what you put me through
The lyrics to Exilia's song "Over the Edge" seem to be a reflection on a life that has been impacted by negativity and pain. The singer poses several questions throughout the song, asking the listener if they have ever experienced being too late or finding themselves inside a lie. The song speaks to the idea of being trapped emotionally and feeling like there is no escape. The lyrics suggest that this pain is caused by someone else "what you put me through" and that the only escape is by taking one's own life.
The repetitive chorus of "I can't see no heaven" and "Heaven is a lie" reinforces the idea that life holds no promise of a happy ending. The song speaks to the idea that "this is what we got" and that everyone must find a way to live with what life has given them. The last line, "I'm staring over the edge of what you put me through" implies that the person responsible for the pain is not present physically, but the scars remain.
Overall, "Over the Edge" is a song about resilience and acceptance in the face of personal pain. It speaks to those who feel as though they have no control in their lives and offers the possibility of escape, through death, as a final act of power.
Line by Line Meaning
Have you ever been a sec too late?
Have you ever missed an opportunity by just a second?
When there’s nothing left and you’re inside a lie
When you are left with nothing but a false reality
Have you ever had your say?
Have you ever voiced your opinion?
One place, one ride, one chance
You only get one shot, one experience, and one opportunity
Have you found a way through?
Have you discovered a way to overcome your obstacles?
To stop your doom
To prevent your downfall
This is what we get this what we got
This is our reality, the consequences of our actions
I can’t see, I can’t see no heaven
I cannot find any hope or salvation
Is it a trip to nowhere?
Is life a meaningless journey?
I am staring over the edge
I am on the brink of collapse
Of what you put me through
Due to the pain you caused me
If I take my life away
If I end my life
Fall down there and get some shelter
Will I finally find peace?
I’m staring at the end
I am looking at the end of my rope
Have you ever had a price to pay?
Have you ever faced the consequences of your actions?
Or sold yourself to get a little ride
Have you ever sacrificed your integrity for temporary gain?
Have you ever found your place?
Have you ever discovered your true purpose?
The why, a way to live or die
The reason for existence, either to survive or perish
Will you stop your doom?
Can you prevent your impending downfall?
Heaven is a lie, a lie
The concept of paradise is false and unreal
I can’t see no heaven
I cannot find any hope or salvation
It’ s just a trip to nowhere
Life is just a meaningless journey
If I cut the cord to life
If I end my life
I’m staring over the edge
I am contemplating suicide
Of what you put me through
Due to the pain you caused me
This is what we get this what we got
This is our reality, the consequences of our actions
If I take my life away
If I end my life

This song is effing awesome! I was listening to the 2min-Version from the making of-video all day, The video itself is very nice, too! The only thing that's missing is Elios spide-guitar - I always thought of it as a symbol for the band. Anyhow, I think Aimer is making a very decent job =)
