Delaware
Lady Zamar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have seen you stare
Is it the weight you bare all the time we'd spent, hey
The violet street lights
Come and see crystal nights
There is left abound
You are stellar and sound
I told you that you would never be more than
What is perceived and what is indeed
I told you that you would never be more than
What is perceived and what is indeed
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
How could they expect any less or any more from you
There is blood that sees baby through and through
It's murder, oh, the brutality's so soft
Just love and pray, worshipping chapels' doors
For the dance floor
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
Delaware
Fall away
Fade away
Don't leave me scared
Delaware
Fall away
Fade away
Don't leave me scared
Delaware
Fall away
Don't fade away
I am still
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Told you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
The lyrics of Lady Zamar's "Delaware" suggest a deep sense of vulnerability and fear of abandonment. The singer speaks to another person, whom she has seen stare, and questions if it is because of the weight they both bear for all the time they have spent together. The violet street lights and crystal nights seem to symbolize a moment of peace, but the fear of abandonment seems to take over as the singer shares her concerns that the other person will never be more than what is perceived and what is indeed.
The second verse suggests that the singer and the other person have faced adversity and judgment from others. They are expected to be more or less than they are, and it is clear that the pressure takes a toll on the singer emotionally. She speaks of blood being seen through and through and of the brutality of the situation being soft. There is a hint of religious imagery as they talk about worshipping at chapel doors while praying and loving. Finally, the chorus repeats itself, asking Delaware not to fall away, fade away, or leave her scared.
Overall, "Delaware" speaks to an intense fear of abandonment and a strong desire for someone to stay with the singer even when things get tough. There is a sense of disappointment and a need for security that runs through the lyrics, and the fact that the same lines are repeated throughout the song suggests that these feelings are deep and unchanging.
