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 ↴
and I have served
and I have sinned
but I have learnt
as long as you are true
to the life that you live
it is the time to feel love
Slowly picking up momentum
Like the tide coming to shore
Over and under in it's course
This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly
Hovering above me, glowing
Glow glowing glowing divine
Every nerve like a firefly
every nerve like a firefly
This feeling emblazoned inside
Every nerve like a firefly
I never want to loose
what I have finally found
there's a requiem a new congregation
and it's telling me go forward
and walk under a brighter sky
every nerve glowing like a firefly
glowing divine
every nerve like a firefly
glow
The lyrics to Delerium's song "Euphoria" have a deep and introspective meaning. The singer reflects on their life and experiences, acknowledging that they have both loved and served others, but also sinned. Despite this, they have learned that the key to life is being true to oneself. As long as one lives authentically, it is time to feel love. The singer feels a stirring deep within them, slowly picking up momentum like the tide coming to shore. This feeling is emblazoned inside of them, every nerve lit up like a firefly, glowing with divinity. This emotion is so intense that it feels like it's hovering above the singer, urging them to move forward and walk under a brighter sky.
The use of metaphors in this song is beautiful. The comparison of the singer's emotions to the tide and a firefly helps to paint a picture of the intensity and beauty of the feeling they are experiencing. The singer's acknowledgement of their past mistakes also adds a layer of vulnerability to the song, allowing listeners to connect with the message on a personal level.

And how I've loved
I have experienced love in my life
and I have served
I have dedicated my time and effort to serving others
and I have sinned
I have made mistakes and done wrong in the past
but I have learnt
I have gained wisdom and knowledge from my experiences
as long as you are true
If you stay honest to yourself and your beliefs
to the life that you live
To the way you choose to live your life
it is the time to feel love
It's a good time to experience love
I feel a stirring deep within
I feel a strong emotional response within myself
Slowly picking up momentum
Starting to gain more and more energy
Like the tide coming to shore
Similar to the way the ocean tide washes onto the beach
Over and under in its course
Moving in different directions in a continuous cycle
This feeling emblazed inside
This intense feeling burning deep within me
Every nerve like a firefly
Every part of me is alive with energy and light
Hovering above me, glowing
Floating above me and shining bright
Glow glowing glowing divine
Radiating with a powerful and beautiful energy
I never want to lose
I don't want to let go of
what I have finally found
Something that I have been searching for and have now discovered
there's a requiem a new congregation
The end of something old and the start of something new
and it's telling me go forward
Encouraging me to keep moving forward
and walk under a brighter sky
To take a path towards a brighter future
every nerve glowing like a firefly
Every part of me is pulsing with energy and light
glowing divine
Shining with a powerful and beautiful energy
every nerve like a firefly
Every part of me is filled with a vibrant energy
glow
Radiate with energy and light

This song, my goodness, it hits me so hard, the love and the passion: There's a requiem, a new congretation. And it's telling me, go forward and walk under a brighter sky.
And how I've loved
And I have served
And I have sinned
But I have learned
As long as you are true to the life that you live
This is the time to feel love
I feel a stirring deep within
Slowly picking up momentum
Like the tide coming into shore
Over and under in it's course
This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly
Hovering above me
Glow glow glowing divine
Every nerve like a firefly
Every nerve like firefly
This feeling emblazed inside
