Delight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our happiness like two hands joined for an everyday prayer
An old faded picture
Like dry bread

Our world is divided into two parts
Somebody once so close
Suddenly a total stranger
Cut it out for a start
Make the best of bad times
Leave my mind

Sleepless nights in an empty house
Now whisper says the echo
Make sure a lot is gone

Our world is divided into two parts
Somebody once so close
Suddenly a total stranger
Cut it out for a start
Make the best of bad times
Leave my mind

Through your human reason you will never see unity
Between what is beginning and what soon will not be

I still can't understand how
Somebody once so close
Suddenly a total stranger
Cut it out for a start




Make the best of bad times
Leave my mind

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Delight explores the theme of a broken relationship, where two individuals who were once close and connected are now strangers to each other. The opening verse establishes a bittersweet memory, where the happiness of the past is likened to two hands joined in prayer. However, as the verse progresses, the imagery used changes to a faded picture and dry bread, which suggests that the happiness has become stale and is no longer fulfilling.


The chorus further develops this sense of disconnection, as the world is described as being divided into two parts, highlighting the separation between the two individuals. The repetition of the phrase "somebody once so close, suddenly a total stranger" drives home the pain and confusion that comes with losing someone who was once a significant part of your life. The lyrics invite the listener to let go of the negativity, to "cut it out for a start" and to make the best of what is left.


The bridge takes a philosophical turn as Delight suggests that human reason cannot fully comprehend the cycle of beginning and ending, and the lack of unity between the two states. The concluding verse revisits the confusion and bewilderment of losing someone who was once a part of your life. Delight raises the question of how someone can turn from being such an important part of your life into a stranger. The lyrics also highlight the difficulty of moving on and leaving the past behind, especially when the memories are still so fresh in one's mind.
