Delirium
Jan Johnston Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmm
Suddenly one kiss
Mmm
Suddenly one kiss
Suddenly one
Kiss

I stand in the dream

That is now my life
The wilderness gone
Shadows now light
No man has ever moved me
But you do
My heart does not belong to me
My heart belongs to you
My heart belongs to
You

Leave me free
So I breathe in my delirium
Every inch of me's alive
And seems only your touch
Can take me
I love it
I'm crazy
Crazy for you

Crazy for you

What pulled me to you
Suddenly one kiss
The wilderness gone
There was delight
You are my reality
It's true
My head spins
My heart does not belong to me
My heart belongs to you
My heart belongs to
You

Leave me free
So I can breathe in my delirium
Every inch of me's alive
And seems only your touch
Can take me
I love it
Leave me free
So I can breathe in my delirium
Every inch of me's alive
And seems only your touch
Can take me
I Love it

My heart
My heart
My heart belongs to you
You
My heart belongs to
You

My heart belongs to

You
My heart belongs to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jan Johnston's song, Delirium, speak of the overwhelming feeling of love and desire that one experiences when they find that one person who moves them like no one else ever has. The song starts with the repetitive phrase, "Suddenly one kiss," which indicates that the singer's life took a dramatic turn the moment she was kissed by her lover. She describes her life as a dream that is now her reality, and how the darkness and emptiness of the wilderness has been replaced by light and shadows. The singer admits that she has never been moved by any other man before, but her lover has somehow managed to capture her heart entirely.

The chorus of the song speaks of the singer's delirium, her intense and all-consuming desire for her lover. She wants to be free to lose herself in this delirium, to revel in the feeling of being alive that comes with being around her lover. She admits that only his touch has the power to take her to this heightened state, and that she is crazy in love with him.

In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that she has been pulled towards her lover ever since they had their first kiss. She says that he is her reality - the one thing that she is sure of - and that her heart belongs to him entirely. She longs to be free to experience the intoxicating feeling of being consumed by her delirium when she is with him.
