1) Delerium is from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, formed in 1987, originally as another side project (Intermix being the more techno-sounding project) of the influential industrial music act, Front Line Assembly.
Delerium has traditionally been a two-person project, but the only constant member throughout its history has been Bill Leeb. After Michael Balch left both Front Line Assembly and Delerium, Bill Leeb worked with Rhys Fulber, and the two released several albums under the Delerium moniker; these years saw a gradual stylistic change from darker ambient to a more danceable sound. A collaboration with Sarah McLachlan in their Karma album, "[song artist=Delerium]Silence[/song]", won them a certain amount of popular recognition and spawned a great deal of remixes.
After the release of Karma, Rhys Fulber left to pursue other interests, and Bill Leeb teamed up with producer Chris Peterson to release Poem. 2003, however, saw the reunion of Leeb and Fulber for the release of Chimera. The collaboration continued with Delerium’s most recent album, Nuages Du Monde. Delerium's music has additionally been featured in movies such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Brokedown Palace.
After the duo worked with vocalist Leigh Nash on the single "[song artist=Delerium]Innocente[/song]", Leeb, Fulber and Nash released a self titled album under the name Fauxliage in 2007.
2) Delerium was also a grunge act from Ottumwa, Iowa, USA. Formed by John Huston of Citrus Boyin 1994, Delerium played and recorded mostly in the Eastern Iowa area. It also included Paige Clause on drums and Sam Long on guitars. Delerium broke up shortly after 1994's album Pirate Alley, John and Sam went on to form punk rock band The Smirnoffs with Mark Langgin.
3) Often confused with Dj Delerium, a hardcore producer from the United States.

Delerium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They tell her
To leave
She's tired of smiling madly
Until silence becomes very silently
A noise in her mind
No good to give
No meaning to live
The mist engulfed tonight
Every single star
After all they shared
How'd he simply say no
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie
She knows the noises in her mind
Nothing's left but
Screaming silence
After all she feels numbness inside
The feeling's gone
She's upside down
The pictures behind her closed eyes
This time you went too far
After all they shared
How'd he simply say no
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie
After all they shared
How'd he simply say no
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie
After all she has nothing inside
No good to give
No meaning to live
The mist engulfed tonight
Every single star
After all they shared
How'd he simply say no
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie
After all they shared
How'd he simply say no (simply say no)
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie
After all they shared
How'd he simply say no (simply say no)
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie
The lyrics of Delerium's song "After All" featuring Jael explore the emotions of the singer who is experiencing heartbreak and despair. The song describes the pain and confusion experienced by someone who has been rejected by someone they deeply cared for. The first verse sets the tone of the song, as Jael sings about the voices in the singer's mind that are urging her to "leave". She is tired of pretending to be happy when in reality, she is feeling overwhelmed by sadness.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as Jael sings about the singer's feeling of emptiness and lack of purpose. She has "nothing inside", and no reason to keep living. The mist that has enveloped her represents her feelings of confusion and uncertainty. The second verse talks about the singer's numbness and disorientation. She feels like her world has been turned upside down, and the memories of her past relationship are haunting her. The final chorus echoes the same feelings of hopelessness and despair, as the singer realizes that she has been left with nothing.
In summary, "After All" is a powerful song that delves deep into the emotions of heartbreak and loss. The sparse, haunting melody and Jael's soulful vocals perfectly capture the mood of the song, making it a strikingly memorable piece of music.

She knows the voices in her mind
She is aware of the thoughts in her head
They tell her to leave
The voices are urging her to go away
She's tired of smiling madly
She's exhausted from pretending to be happy
Until silence becomes very silently
When all is quiet, the noise in her head becomes deafening
A noise in her mind
The voices in her head are too loud to ignore
After all she's got nothing inside
She feels empty and worthless
No good to give
She thinks she has nothing to offer
No meaning to live
She feels that her existence has no purpose
The mist engulfed tonight
The confusion and fog in her mind is overwhelming
Every single star
The clarity and hope she once had is gone
How'd he simply say no
She can't believe how easily he rejected her
He turned away from her to go
He walked away, leaving her alone
She said she wouldn't cry
She promised herself she wouldn't show emotions
That was really just a lie
She couldn't control her tears from falling
Nothing's left but screaming silence
The only thing she can hear is her own torment
After all she feels numbness inside
She's emotionally detached
The feeling's gone
She lost her ability to feel joy
She's upside down
The chaos in her mind has turned her world upside down
The pictures behind her closed eyes
The memories are haunting her even when she closes her eyes
This time you went too far
The pain caused by this situation is too much to handle
How'd he simply say no (simply say no)
She can't comprehend his heartless rejection
She said she wouldn't cry (that was really just a lie)
She broke her promise and allowed herself to cry after all
