Overall Meaning

In Ry x's song DELIVERANCE, the lyrics seem to be filled with urgency and a sense of needing to escape. The opening lines "I've been calling up and say, your lungs feeling up your mind with my tongue" is a metaphorical way of saying that the singer has been suffocating the other person with their thoughts and words. They then admit that they didn't need to know everything about the person they were with, but now they feel the need to run. The urgency and need to escape continue throughout the rest of the song with lines like "I'll be a wrack for deliverance" and "tonight we're young".

The second verse starts with "Holding up behind forgotton, ready for your bye to be strong" which could be interpreted as the singer feeling neglected or left behind, and now they are ready to put up a fight. They then mention "reading a head before I might... a stung", which could mean they are trying to anticipate the other person's actions before they get hurt. The repeated chorus of "I'll be a wrack for deliverance, deliver me" reinforces the idea that the singer is desperate to escape and be saved from the situation they are in. Overall, the song seems to be about someone who is ready to leave a toxic or suffocating relationship and is seeking deliverance or salvation from it.
