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.

Still Kill
Delerium Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came to you dressed in flowers and rags
Your song on my lips and the sun on my back
How often you offered me love at the end of a blade
Now you've got your money, honey
Everyone paid

Still still
My love is still

And still still
Oh love be still

Sleep will not come until I get out of my bed
And wrestle the ghost that's in my head
Climb out of your solitude
Grow out of your doubt
We'll measure the weight of the world and cast it out

But still still
My love is still
I kill kill my love but still

I run from your face
I run from this problem of my pain
I got what I gave now I see it's all part of the game
The words that we spoke in an echo chamber
Calling me back to the days when we were

Still still
My love be still
Still still
Oh love be still

I came to you dressed in flowers and rags
Your song on my lips and the sun on my back

The lyrics to Delerium's song "Still Kill" are a powerful representation of the conflicting emotions of a relationship filled with love and pain. The opening verse describes the singer as "dressed in flowers and rags" with the sun on her back, indicating a sense of vitality and hope. However, the next line reveals a darker side to the relationship, with the singer acknowledging that her lover had offered her love with the end of a blade, implying a volatile and potentially dangerous dynamic.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "still still, my love is still," which can be interpreted in several ways. It can be seen as a reflection of the singer's determination to hold on to love despite the challenges and pain of the relationship. Alternatively, it could be a nod to the idea that love is never truly gone, even when a relationship ends.

The second verse continues the theme of inner turmoil and struggle, with the singer unable to find sleep until she confronts the demons in her head. The lines "climb out of your solitude, grow out of your doubt" suggest a need for self-reflection and growth in order to overcome the pain of the relationship. The final verse, which mentions "echo chamber" and "days when we were still," hints at a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, despite the pain it may have brought.

Overall, "Still Kill" is a haunting portrayal of the complexities of love and relationships, with raw and honest lyrics that speak to the heart.
