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".

Shout Louder
Exilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I made some dreadlocks in my hair
For every word I should have said
?without you I feel better?
For everytime I should have stayed
?I?m sorry but it?s not my way?
For every night I should have slept
I drem well without a bed
Should I do the right things?
Should I do what I think?
Shout louder when I shout
Run faster when I run
Let me live out every day like it was the last one
If,if you don?t understand
Take me as I am
Let me live out every day like it was the last one
For every day I didn?t work
I got a job singing this song
For every rule I shouldn?t break,If I can,well I do
For every friend who was no friend
I got my dog
For every lesson that I missed
I got it myself
Lyrics
Should I do the right things?
Should I do what I think?
Shout louder when I shout
Run faster when I run
Let me live out every day like it was the last one
If,if you don?t understand
Take me as I am
Let me live out every day like it was the last one
Shout
Should I take my own away
Should I take my own away
Shout louder when I shout
Run faster when I run
Let me live out every day like it was the last one
If,if you don?t understand
Take me as I am
Let me live out every day like it was the last one
