Delirium
Katra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where's the ending where I'm going to?
Am I on my way?
Should I care?
Do I have to face
I am losing my path and trace
All I know for sure
Delirium
I close my eye
I'm lost inside
Delirium
No life line
I've lost my mind
Inside
Riding for a fall
Cannot see, if there's a wall
Blinded by the ride
No clear sight
Do I have to face
I am laying my life to waste
All I know for sure
(I) can't get through
Delirium
I close my eye
I'm lost inside
Delirium
No life line
I've lost my mind
Delirium
I close my eye
I'm lost inside
Delirium
No life line
I've lost my mind
Inside
Katra's song Delirium is a beautiful composition that speaks about the journey to find one's truth while facing the obstacles that come along the way. The song starts with the singer questioning herself about her purpose in life and where she is headed. She is unsure if she is even on the right path, and whether she should even bother trying to make sense of it all. The uncertainty and confusion are evident in the lyrics.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take a darker turn. The singer talks about losing her path and trace, and how she feels like she is laying her life to waste. She talks about the delirium that engulfs her, where she feels lost inside, and has lost her mind. The use of the word delirium here is particularly powerful, as it suggests a state of acute confusion brought on by illness or exhaustion. The singer's struggles to find direction, coupled with the delirious state she is in, make for a poignant and powerful song.
One can interpret this song in different ways, but it seems to be a metaphor for the struggle everyone faces while searching for their identity and purpose in life. We all go through phases where we feel lost, unsure, and even delirious, but ultimately, it is the journey that helps us find ourselves. The song's haunting melody and the singer's soulful voice make it a beautiful composition that speaks to the heart.
