Delirium
K.G.S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But only in my mind's eye
The sunlight rolls along your sleeping dunes
The smell upon your skin is fireworks
Delirium, delirium
Kaleidoscoping in
Could you love me too?
The lions of the lamps coming filing in
Pacing through the still around the bed
Halos of their royal breathing
Break like waves across the ceiling
In your dreams, do you know
I'm the only thing between you
And this heartbreak feeling?
Delirium, delirium
Kaleidoscoping in
Could you love me too?
In my delirium
Is it still the morning?
We left no trail of time
You're camouflaged so fate can't
Take you from my
Delirium, delirium
Kaleidoscoping in
Could you love me too?
Could you love me too?
In my delirium
The opening lines of the song talk about kissing someone in the morning but just in the mind's eye - it is an imagination, a figment of a dream, and it has not really happened. The image that follows in the next lines is a vivid picture of a person sleeping with the sunlight falling upon their skin, and there is a fragrance that makes the person feel like fireworks are going off in their mind. The use of metaphor and vibrant imagery creates a dreamy and surreal atmosphere that the listener can get lost in easily.
The chorus repeats the word "delirium" which could be seen as a state of madness or a condition of excitement and confusion. In this verse, the person is wondering if the one they dream of could love them back in their world of delirious fantasy. The presence of lions in the subsequent words establishes a sense of danger and fear, but they are not real - they are just the lions of the lamps that the person is hallucinating. The lines speak of a person being the key to saving another from heartbreak. This verse stands for the idea of a lover being a protector to the other, safeguarding them in their dreams.
The last lines of the song are a final plea to fate, asking it to keep the dream-world alive, so the beloved never has to be taken away. The song perfectly captures the essence of a dream-like state, with its metaphors and surreal imagery, and the emotions present when one is delirious with love, giving the listener an experience that can be both mesmerizing and euphoric.
