At the end of 2007 Delain stated that they intended to release a second album in 2008, but in November 2008, it was announced that the new album "April Rain" would be released on February 9th, 2009. In 2009, "April Rain" was delayed further until March 2009; the title track single, however, was released in February.
In February 2010, Delain announced they had started working on their third album, and that bassist Rob van der Loo would leave the band the same year due to time constraints. In March, Otto Schimmelpenninck van der Oije was announced as Rob's successor. On October 4, 2010, Delain announced they were to part company with guitarist Ewout Pieters. Timo Somers was announced as his replacement on April 17, 2011.
Originally intended for release in early 2012, the third album's release date was unknown due to Warner Music's purchase of Roadrunner Records. However, it was announced via a Facebook message on the band official page that the album would be released on June 1, 2012 with the album's first single, 'Get the Devil Out of Me'. It was released on 13 April 2012 via CNR Music, who took over Delain from Warner Music. The second single from the album was the title track, 'We Are the Others'. It was announced on 3 November that Delain would headline Dames of Darkness Festival (Wolverhampton, UK) which they had previously headlined in 2009 (under the Femme Metal Festival)."
On 26 February 2013, Delain announced that they will release a special album entitled Interlude that would include new songs, covers, live tracks, special versions of previous songs and a bonus DVD. It was released on various dates throughout the first week of May worldwide.
On 23 January 2014, Delain announced that they will release a new album entitled "The Human Contradiction". It was released on April 5, 2014 in Europe, and on April 8, 2014 in North America.
On June 4, 2014, it was announced that drummer Sander Zoer would step down from the band due to personal reasons; he would continue working behind the scenes of Delain. The replacement drummer was announced to be Ruben Israel, who had stepped in for Zoer during Delain's tour with Kamelot. Zoer will continue to perform until September.
The band brought with them Merel Bechtold (MaYaN, Purest of Pain) as a second guitarist for their UK tour in November 2014. Bassist Otto Schimmelpenninck van der Oije suffered an injury on November 26, 2014, when he was accidentally hit by a streamer cannon, causing his left testicle to rupture. This incident was said to be caused by uncertain stage positioning, as there were six people onstage instead of the usual five. While he was recovering, the band used pre-recorded bass parts. No permanent damage was done, and as of January 12, 2015, Schimmelpenninck van der Oije has resumed touring.
Delain is currently touring with Sabaton and Battle Beast, and will tour North America with Sabaton as support for Nightwish. Merel Bechtold will fill in for guitarist Timo Somers until February due to Somers' full schedule.
In early October of 2017, Ruben announced leaving the band. His last show played at 1st of November 2017. The temporary(?) drummer of the band Joey de Boer.
In February 2021, Charlotte, Otto, Timo and Joey left Delain.
On August 9th of 2022, the new single "The Quest and the Curse" was unleashed, revealing both Charlotte and Otto's replacements - Romanian born Singer/Songwriter 'Diana Leah' who is based in Torino, Italy, as well as musician 'Ludovico Cioffi' of Italy from the Italian bands - Carnality, Nightland, The Modern Age Slavery, Sun of the Suns.

Nothing Left
Delain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing left to turn you on
Laughing in your childish disguise
You rule the night
Follow me back home
'Cause the night is young
And I'm tired of being alone
Give me just one more
To send shivers
To the bone
Nothing left, The magic is gone
Pallor face in morning light
Someone, close the curtains
Oh, how it hurts your eyes
Follow me back home
'Cause the night is young
And I'm tired of being alone
Follow me back home
Give me just one more
To bring shivers
To the bone
Nothing left
It's time to leave
Can you make it on your own?
Nothing left
It's time to breathe
Can you follow me back home?
Nothing left to make you feel high
Nothing left to turn you on
Dwelling in your dreams every day
Disturbs your night
Nothing left
It's time to leave
Can you make it on your own?
Nothing left
It's time to breath e
Can you follow me back home?
The lyrics of Delain's "Nothing Left" speak to the feeling of emptiness and the need for escape from it. The song describes a scenario where the subject of the song has lost their passion and is seeking a way to reignite that spark. The lyrics reference drugs and the allure of the night, indicating that the subject is looking for something to make them feel alive again. The line "Nothing left, the magic is gone" further emphasizes this feeling of depletion.
As the song progresses, the chorus urges the subject to follow the singer home, where they can find a temporary reprieve from their dissatisfaction. The singer is tired of being alone and wants someone to share their space with for a night. The line "give me just one more to bring shivers to the bone" suggests that the singer is looking for a physical connection as a way to feel alive again.
The final verse of the song sees the singer urging the subject to leave with them and follow them back home. The idea is that leaving behind what is no longer providing pleasure or stimulation is the best way to find something new. The song ends with a plea to breathe and follow the singer to a new, potentially exciting place.

There's nothing left in your life that can give you the same pleasure or satisfaction that you used to associate with feeling high.
Nothing left to turn you on
You've exhausted all the things that used to excite or interest you, and now you feel numb or indifferent to them.
Laughing in your childish disguise
Despite your adult responsibilities and problems, you still try to hide behind a facade of youthful innocence and carefree laughter.
You rule the night
You feel in control and empowered during the night, when you can escape from reality and indulge in your own desires.

'Cause the night is young
There's still time for us to have fun or explore new experiences together.
And I'm tired of being alone
I'm lonely and want someone to share my life with, or at least spend some time with.
Give me just one more
Let's try to recapture the magic or excitement we used to feel, even if it's just for a short while.
To send shivers
To the bone
Let's do something that really affects us, that gives us goosebumps and makes us feel alive.
The magic is gone
Whatever spark or enchantment there once was in your life, it's now disappeared or faded away.
Pallor face in morning light
When you wake up and see yourself in the mirror, you look pale and drained of vitality or energy.
Someone, close the curtains
You want to block out the harsh light of day and retreat into darkness or sleep.
Oh, how it hurts your eyes
The brightness of the morning sun feels physically painful or uncomfortable to you.
It's time to leave
You need to move on or let go of the past, because dwelling on it only brings you pain or emptiness.
Can you make it on your own?
Are you strong enough to face the challenges and uncertainties of the future without relying on anyone else for support?
It's time to breathe
You need to take a break or step back from your current situation, in order to gain some perspective or regain your composure.
Disturbs your night
Your dreams or subconscious thoughts are bothering you, or preventing you from getting a restful night's sleep.
