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 Deleriumβs 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 ↴
But caution inspires
Your tamed indifference
Won't challenge me
Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me?
Intoxicates thee,
So balanced on my halo
You long secretly
Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me?
Don't deny yourself
'Cause I know what you want
You can't deny me
We'll be together
So try to run, love
But you won't get away
Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me?
The lyrics to Delerium's song "Heaven's Earth" captures the sentiment of unrequited love. The song is about a person who is aware of the affection of the other person but remains unresponsive. The first line, "I know you want me" suggests that the person is aware of the other's desire, but they are cautious and indifferent towards them. The line, "Your tamed indifference won't challenge me" hints at the fact that the person who is being pursued has already made up their mind and does not have any intention of giving in to the other person's advances.
The chorus, "Could it, could it be love's what you deny me?" is the most critical aspect of the song. It highlights the fact that the person singing is hoping that the other person acknowledges the feelings between them. The line, "This spoiled seduction intoxicates thee, so balanced on my halo, you long secretly," emphasizes the excitement and temptation that the other person feels despite their resistance.
Overall, the song captures the unfulfilled desire of a person who is trying to convince someone to reciprocate their feelings. The lyrics have a haunting quality, and the music perfectly complements the mood of the song, making it one of Delerium's finest works.
Line by Line Meaning
I know you want me
I am aware that you desire me
But caution inspires
However, your sense of concern is preventing you
Your tamed indifference
Your apathetic demeanor that is not threatening to me
Won't challenge me
Will not provoke me into taking action
Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me?
Is it possible that you refuse to express your love for me?
This spoiled seduction
My attempt at seducing you that is ruined
Intoxicates thee,
But it still attracts and excites you
So balanced on my halo
You are in a delicate state of desiring me
You long secretly
You secretly yearn to be with me
Don't deny yourself
Do not deprive yourself of what you want
'Cause I know what you want
Since I know you well
You can't deny me
You can not refuse me forever
We'll be together
Eventually, we will be a couple
So try to run, love
You may attempt to flee, my dear
But you won't get away
Nevertheless, I will catch you
Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me?
Is there a chance that you hide your love from me?
