Delirious
Susanne Sundfψr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope you got a safety net
'Cause I'm gonna push you over the edge
The strangest thing, deliberate
Done with intent, without repent

I hope you got some common sense
Turn around and walk away
The strangest thing, deliberate
Done with intent, without repent

I love the pain, I love the game
Come into my arms, come into my arms
You say that I'm delirious
But I'm not the one holdin' the gun

I told you not to come
My victim number-one

You won't let go, you won't give in
Till every part of you is suffering
It's the strangest thing, it's deliberate
Done with intent, without repent

I love the pain, I love the game
Come into my arms, come into my arms
You say that I'm delirious
But I'm not the one holdin' the gun

I told you not to come
My victim number-one
I told you not to come
My victim number-one
I told you not to come (you'll just have to learn the hard way)
My victim number-one (you'll just have to learn the hard way)
I told you not to come (you'll just have to learn the hard way)
My victim number-one (you'll just have to learn the hard way)

I hope you got a safety net
'Cause I'm gonna push you over the edge
It's the strangest thing, it's deliberate
Done with intent, without repent

I love the pain, I love the game (you'll just have to learn the hard way)
Come into my arms, come into my arms (you'll just have to learn the hard way)
You say that I'm delirious (you'll just have to learn the hard way)
But oh, you'll just have to learn the hard way

I love the pain, I love the game (you'll just have to learn the hard way)
Come into my arms, come into my arms (you'll just have to learn the hard way)




You say that I'm delirious (you'll just have to learn the hard way)
But I'm not the one holdin' the gun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Susanne Sundfψr's "Delirious" describe the allure of the thrill of the chase, the temptation of power and control, and the recklessness that comes with these desires. She sings to the listener, warning them of her intentions to push them over the edge and inflict pain, but at the same time, inviting them into her arms. She acknowledges the potential danger of her actions, but seems to revel in it nonetheless. The repeated statement of "I told you not to come, my victim number-one" suggests that the listener has willingly entered this dangerous game, despite being warned of the consequences.


The chorus, "You say that I'm delirious, but I'm not the one holding the gun," serves as a metaphor for the power dynamic in the relationship being described. The singer may be the one actively inflicting pain, but it is the listener who has given her the power and control to do so. The repetition of the line "I love the pain, I love the game" reinforces the idea that the singer is not only aware of the danger but actively seeks it out.


Overall, "Delirious" is a haunting and intense exploration of the darker aspects of human desire and emotion, wrapped in a seductive and hypnotic melody.

The whole album "Ten Love Songs" is a masterpiece.

You gone down in history Sundfør - creating one of the best albums from Norway.

A tribute to us

That vocal harmony is some of the most stunning I've ever heard. And damn, such powerful atmosphere too. I'm late to the party but totally addicted to this song now.

I see many parties going on tbh and not many unwilling to participate...

Either way, "great" attempt to nitpick (or whatever that was) a common figure of speech :s

@askbask

Remember, this is produced by Susanne herself as well, alone. No co-writer, no other producer.
