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

Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
When was it over?
It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of the storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear
Drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near
When was it
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
The song Innocente by Delirium is a heartbreaking ballad that explores the emotions of a person who has lost their love. The repeated question of “Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?” conveys the painful questioning and realization of a relationship ending. The imagery of “the rain,” “the quiet of the storm,” and “crystal tear drops” highlight the overwhelming, quiet pain that someone feels when they lose their love.
The lines “You can’t see my eyes/ They don’t see yours/ They don’t see yours” create a sense of detachment and distance between the two people in the relationship, almost as if the singer is talking to their lost love from beyond the grave. It’s as if the singer can’t see their love anymore, or if they do, it’s only in memories. The song is an emotional journey through grieving, trying to understand where things went wrong, and the realization that the love is lost forever.
