Deliverance
Harmful Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At least you know how to be impressed by yourself?
You're everything but it's all right
So show me the way? I count all the days?
This lie will sting your eyes

Nonsense prevails modesty fails
I will just go on with the same old song
But if you hurt me once again
I'll try to control my deliverance

No consequence, for my defense
You rise above by acting tough
But if you betray me it's all the same?
We'll find a way to break the walls again

I wish I could change my plans and ignore your demands?
It's not that fair but it's all right
I'll show you the way, you'll count all the days
A kind of a big surprise

Wake up zombie another funny day
Can't bring myself to look so write another book
But if you lose me once again?
There won't be a chance for your deliverance

I'm gonna need some time
To wash away your fears
I'm gonna need some time
To wash away your tears

At least you know how to be impressed by yourself?
You're everything but it's all right
So show me the way? I count all the days?
This lie will sting your eyes

Nonsense prevails modesty fails
I will just go on with the same old song
But if you betray me it's all the same?
We'll find a way to break the walls again

I'm gonna need some time
To wash away your fears




I'm gonna need some time
To wash away your tears

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Deliverance" by Harmful express a sense of frustration and betrayal towards someone who has hurt the singer in the past. The opening line seems to be a sarcastic remark about the other person's ego, suggesting that they are self-centered and impressed with themselves. The following lines continue this idea, implying that the other person's behavior is not ideal but that the singer has come to accept it.


The chorus of the song then shifts to a sense of resilience and determination. The singer acknowledges that they have been hurt before but declares that they will try to control their own emotional response to prevent it from happening again. The line "nonsense prevails, modesty fails" suggests that the singer feels like traditional approaches to dealing with the other person have failed in the past.


The second verse echoes the sentiment of the first, with the singer acknowledging that they are struggling to maintain their own sense of identity and creativity in the face of the other person's demands and expectations. The chorus repeats twice more, underscoring the idea that the singer is trying to overcome their feelings of hurt and betrayal and move on.


Overall, "Deliverance" expresses a complex set of emotions towards someone who has hurt the singer in the past. The song suggests that the singer is trying to maintain their own self-esteem and sense of identity in the face of the other person's behavior, but is also struggling to come to terms with their own feelings of anger and betrayal.
