Till the End of Time
Delerium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lessons were all learned
My soul has charred
What they burned
Till the end of time
So silence shamed me
Shame
She brought with her doubt and blame
Till the end of time
Now it's your turn to cry
Spend your life wondering why




You knew
You knew

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Delerium's song Til The End Of Time express the pain and bitterness of a person who has been hurt by someone they trusted. The first two lines, "The lessons were all learned, My soul has charred, what they burned" suggest that the singer has been through a difficult time in their life and has learned from their mistakes, but is still dealing with the emotional scars that were left behind.


The repeated phrase "'Til the end of time" reinforces the idea that the singer is feeling very deeply about their situation, and that they will continue to feel that way forever. The line "So silence shamed me, shame, She brought with her doubt and blame" suggests that the person who hurt the singer was someone close to them who betrayed their trust in some way. The use of the word "she" implies a female, adding a layer of gender-based hurt.


The final lines "Now it's your turn to cry, Spend your life wondering why, You knew" suggest that the person who hurt the singer will eventually feel regret and sadness for what they have done. The singer takes satisfaction in this, suggesting that they have moved on and are now able to let go of their pain. Overall, the song is emotionally charged and portrays the complex layers of hurt and pain that can result from broken trust.
