Susanne Sundfør – Delirious Lyrics

Susanne Sundfør – Delirious Lyrics

“Delirious” is the second single from Susanne Sundfør’s Ten Love Songs. An electro-pop track drenched in 80s-style synth waves and gunshot percussion, the song is a suitably dreamy capture of an intense and possibly lethal relationship. Layering her high, echoed vocals, Susanne creates a lush scene of romantic drama, reminiscent of the half-metaphorical murder on “Silencer”, track four on the album.

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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 holding the gun

[Post-Chorus]
I told you not to come
My victim number one

[Verse 2]
You won’t let go, you won’t give in
‘Til every part of you is suffering
It’s the strangest thing, it’s deliberate
Done with intent without repent

[Chorus]
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 holding the gun

[Post-Chorus]
I told you not to come
My victim number one

[Bridge]
I told you not to come
My victim number one
I told you not to come
You just have to learn the hard way
My victim number one
You just have to learn the hard way
I told you not to come
You just have to learn the hard way
My victim number one
You just have to learn the hard way

[Refrain]
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

[Chorus]
I love the pain, I love the game
You just have to learn the hard way
Come into my arms, come into my arms
You just have to learn the hard way
You say that I’m delirious
You just have to learn the hard way
Oh, you’ll just have to learn the hard way
I love the pain, I love the game
You just have to learn the hard way
Come into my arms, come into my arms
You just have to learn the hard way
You say that I’m delirious
But I’m not the one holding the gun
