Deliverance
Quietdrive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

make believe
if you're sick of everything
all the time before us
doesn't taint my memory

when the walls they put around us
can't stop what we believe
when the love we share forgets us
this dream will set us free

so please, don't tell me
deliver me
if its up to me I'll say




i've had it once and now i want it again
i've had it once and now i want it again

Overall Meaning

The song 'Deliverance' by Quietdrive is about the desire to escape the monotony and dissatisfaction of life. The lyrics urge us to make believe and deny that we are sick of everything. The singer is nostalgic about the past and is reminded of fond memories when looking at the time before them. They refuse to let the restrictions and barriers put in place by society stop them from pursuing their dreams and hopes. The love they share may fail them, but they ultimately believe that their dreams and aspirations will set them free.


The singer pleads with someone to deliver them from the mundane and bring back the excitement they once had. They long to experience that feeling of fulfillment they once experienced and long to have it again. This song captures the longing of the human soul for something more than just a mediocre existence.
