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
When the rage in me subsides
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence I believe
I have seen it, in this twilight, you're my silence
You know baby, in this twilight, I am free
Passion
Chokes the flower
Until 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 have seen it, in this twilight you're my silence
You know baby, in this twilight, I am free
Passion
Chokes the flower
'Til 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
The opening verse in Delerium [Feat. McLachlan Sarah]'s song Silence is a plea for relief from overwhelming emotions. The singer is asking to be released from the intensity of their feelings and to be seen as they are. They feel isolated from others and are seeking peace. The idea of heaven holding a sense of wonder suggests that they are searching for something greater than themselves to help them make sense of their emotions. The line "And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up when the rage in me subsides" is a glimmer of hope, acknowledging that eventually their intense emotions will calm down and they'll be able to feel caught up in the beauty of life once again.
The next verse uses nature imagery to express the depth of their emotions. They feel as though they are sinking in a "white wave" and finding solace in the silence that comes with it. The final two lines of this verse, "In this twilight you're my silence, you know baby, in this twilight I am free," suggest that the singer has found someone who provides them with calm and relief from emotions in the same way as a twilight can bring peace after a chaotic day.
The chorus repeats the same lines as before with slight variations. The metaphor of passion choking the flower until she cries no more is suggesting that overwhelming emotions can be damaging if not properly managed. The singer is aware that they possess beauty, but still feel the hunger for more.
Line by Line Meaning
Give me release
I am longing for a sense of liberation
Witness me
I am asking to be seen and acknowledged
I am outside
I feel like an outsider, disconnected from the world
Give me peace
I am seeking a sense of calm and tranquility
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
The idea of paradise fills me with awe and amazement
And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up
I hoped to be swept away by the beauty of heaven
When the rage in me subsides
Once my anger and frustration have dissipated
In this white wave I am sinking
I am being overwhelmed by a powerful force
In this silence
Amid the quietness and stillness
In this white wave
In this overpowering surge of emotion
In this silence I believe
I find faith and trust in the tranquility
I have seen it, in this twilight, you're my silence
In the in-between of day and night, you bring me peace
You know baby, in this twilight, I am free
In this moment of calm, I feel free from my burdens
Passion
Intense emotion
Chokes the flower
Suffocates and limits growth and beauty
Until she cries no more
Until all feeling is drained
Possessing all the beauty
Having all the outward allure
Hungry still for more
But never satisfied or fulfilled

Passion choke 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
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
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
I have seen you
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free

I had the pleasure of opening up for tiesto, I played in front of about 7,000 people and just that alone was the biggest rush of my life. Years before, I remember playing his records in my bedroom practicing my mixing and programming, dreaming of playing a stage like that. That day my life came full circle, he hit the stage after my set and hit it hard!! Old school tiesto!! Hard fast trance! And he dropped this Gem, time almost stood still, I couldn’t stop crying, I’ll never forget that moment and feeling ❤️🙏🏽

I'm 77 yrs young and just recently discovered Tiesto. Absolutely amazing!!! So glad I'm alive with all my rich lived experience ~ it really enhances listening to this. The natural high it gives me is so incredible. I agree with many who say the 'old' Tiesto is best. Don't ever count us 'ole folks out!
