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 ↴
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
Passion chokes the flower
Till she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
I can't help this longing
Comfort me
I can't hold it all in
If you won't let me
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
The Delerium song "Silence (Michael Woods Remix)" is a song about longing for release and peace. The lyrics speak of the desire to be free from the burden of passion and to find solace in the wonder of heaven. The opening lines "Give me release, Witness me" set a tone of desperation for something to rescue the singer from their current state of being. The singer wants to be seen and understood for who they are, and they long for a sense of calm that they find only in the quiet embrace of their own mind.
The next lines, "I am outside, Give me peace" illustrate the singer's need for belonging and the feeling of being on the outskirts of society. They are asking for a place to fit in and feel at home. They are looking for a sense of peace that they can't find anywhere else. There is a longing for something bigger than themselves, a desire to be swept up in something greater that will take away the pain.
The chorus repeats "In this white wave, I am sinking, In this silence, I believe." The white wave could represent the crushing weight of emotion that the singer is feeling, and the silence is the peaceful calm that they desire. The silence is something that they believe in, something that will bring them relief.
Line by Line Meaning
Give me release
I am seeking freedom from something that has a hold on me
Witness me
I want someone to see me as I am and acknowledge my existence
I am outside
I am not like everyone else, I feel out of place
Give me peace
I crave serenity and a break from the chaos of life
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
The idea of an afterlife or higher power inspires awe and fascination in me
And I wanted to believe
I desire to have faith in something bigger than myself
That I'd get caught up
I hope to be swept away by something powerful and transformative
When the rage in me subsides
I want to be able to control my intense emotions
In this white wave
I feel overwhelmed and swept away by a powerful force
I am sinking
I am losing control and being pulled under by my emotions and circumstances
In this silence
Despite the chaos around me, I feel a sense of stillness and calm
I believe
Despite my doubts and fears, I have faith that everything will be okay
Passion chokes the flower
Intense feelings can be overwhelming and suffocating
Till she cries no more
These emotions can become too much to bear, leaving one exhausted and numb
Possessing all the beauty
Despite the toll it takes, intense emotions can make someone feel alive and vibrant
Hungry still for more
Despite the risks and struggles, the pull of intense emotions is hard to resist
I can't help this longing
I feel an intense desire that I cannot control or ignore
Comfort me
I am seeking solace and reassurance from someone or something else
I can't hold it all in
The weight of my emotions is too much to bear alone
If you won't let me
I need connection and support from someone else to help carry my emotional burden
