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 ↴
To live and to love
In delerious
Bitter gardens
The visions floods
Under the mind sky.
Night breaths,
After a blood sun storm
Love light relives.
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I'm going out to meet an old friend.
Sing a true moment
Recall a trip.
No language can heave through life
Like an ache, a sense, the blinding wind.
Making believe that if there's a sandstorm
You'll come and rescue me.
Help me find my way back to the waking world.
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I'm going out to meet an old friend.
The desert knows we are strangers
Until the sands of time see through our eyes.
We could be lost, perhaps forever.
But there's space in the air
And it's ages till sunrise.
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I'm going out to meet an old friend.
The lyric portrays a theme of escapism through dreams and the beauty of nature's kingdom, where the imagination and subconscious can roam free. In the first stanza, the singer paints contrasting images of being in a deliriously bitter garden, yet finding the beauty in moonlight. The following lines describe the mind's visions and symphony, emphasizing the power of the imagination. The second stanza brings in a theme of love, perhaps lost or forgotten, only to be rediscovered after a blood sun storm, a metaphor for a difficult time. The singer then seeks solace in the dream world, where the subconscious can conjure up a goddess and a dream. In the chorus, the singer refers to an old friend, alluding to the idea of finding comfort and familiarity in memories and dreams. The last stanza is a reflection on the possibility of being lost, both in reality and in the dream world, but being hopeful that space and time may lead to a sunrise, a new beginning.

Moon beauty
The beauty of the moon
To live and to love
To experience life and love
In delerious
In an ecstatic state
Bitter gardens
Gardens filled with bitterness or sorrow
The visions floods
Visions that flood the mind
Under the mind sky
Under the sky of the mind
Night breaths
Breathing in the night
Whispering symphony
A symphony that whispers
After a blood sun storm
After a storm caused by a red sun
Love light relives
The light of love comes back to life
With a goddess and a dream
With a divine female being and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
In the hazy shade of sleep
I lie beneath world's imaginary
I am lying beneath the imaginary world
I'm going out to meet an old friend.
I am going out to see a friend I haven't seen in a while
Sing a true moment
Sing a moment that is true
Recall a trip.
Remember a journey
No language can heave through life
No language can fully express life
Like an ache, a sense, the blinding wind.
Like a pain, a feeling, or a strong wind
Making believe that if there's a sandstorm
Pretending that if there is a sandstorm
You'll come and rescue me.
You will come and save me
Help me find my way back to the waking world.
Assist me in returning to the world of the living
The desert knows we are strangers
The desert is aware that we are outsiders
Until the sands of time see through our eyes.
Until time reveals our true nature
We could be lost, perhaps forever.
We may be lost, maybe for all eternity
But there's space in the air
But there is room in the air
And it's ages till sunrise.
And it will take ages until the sun rises
