Florence + The Machine - Delilah (Lyrics)
Drifting through the halls with the sunrise
(Holding on for your call)
Climbing up the walls for that flashing light
(I can never let go)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holding on for your call)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Maybe not tonight)
Now the sun is up and I'm going blind
(Holding on for your call)
Another drink just to pass the time
(I can never say no)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holding on for your call)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Maybe not tonight)
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
'Til Delilah showed me how
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
(Holding on for your call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(I can never let go)
Took anything to cut you, I can find
(Holding on for your call)
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
(Can't you let me know?)
Now it's one more boy and it's one more line
(Holding on for your call)
Taking the pills just to pass the time
(I can never say no)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holding on for your call)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
'Til Delilah showed me how
Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
(Holding on for your call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(I can never let go)
Took anything to cut you, I can find
(Holding on for your call)
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
(Can't you let me know?)
Strung up, strung out for your love
Hanging, hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and wringing out
Why can't you let me know?
Strung up, strung out for your love
Hanging, hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and wringing out
Why can't you let me know?
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
'Til Delilah showed me how
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Til Delilah showed me how
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around

What is "humankind's slumber," I'm sorry for being nitpicky and probably annoying, but this thought process is a major pet-peeve of mine and I can't help it. Humankind has always been fucked up, just think of all the atrocities you find in your history book. But this stuff is just an inescapable side effect of our free will, which among our many other unique qualities, makes us (imo) truly beautiful life forms.

"You think you have lost your faith but you have not. You have only misplace your faith and you can't find it- where it lays now- deep in your soul. And the way to do that, is through the simple process of love. Love yourself, forgive yourself. You can't love and forgive other people if you don't first of all, love and forgive yourself. You have to realize that people are fallible beings- they make mistakes, they have to be excused for these mistakes and allow to continue on to the quest for a better life and forgiveness. Love yourself and then love other people- please forgive yourself, go on a journey of finding love and forgiveness."

It's terrifying, being so used to storms in your life. When you get to a stretch of calm, you can't help but feel afraid of when the chaos will strike again. You can't trust any period of relief, and you can't relax, because you know that the next storm is inevitable.

@DeGroteLaaf 6 лет назад

The reverse is, ofcourse, just as inevitable - that eventually you'll find a calm spot again. Yet depending on your mindset that hope can either drive you nuts or give you peace in the midst of a storm.

*Adele releases a new song* *listens to it once* *goes back to "Delilah" and watches it 15 times* No shade to Adele, but this is just so much...MORE! Emotional. Creative. Upbeat. There are different ways to convey pain and I prefer Florence's aggressive method of throwing yourself off a cliff.

@idrial3 8 лет назад

+Mike B You wrote exactly what I'm thinking. With all my respect to Adele (and people who enjoy her work) I find nothing special in her songs or performance (just my opinion) whereas Florence way of expressing, her voice and her natural way of being is really personal and unique. Such a pity that she doesn't get the same recognition...

i'm doing the same thing! I love Adele, i'm glad she's back, i liked the new song, but she didn't bring anything new. That song could've been in the album 21. On the other hand, Florence is totally risking her self this year, making new and amazing things. But when i looked at the views yesterday: Adele 43 millions. Florence 950k. This isn't right.

The entire video has small, cinematic reinterpretations of historical (and lesser known) paintings - all the way down to the lighting and wardrobe of each scene. The scene with the demon on her chest is from Henry Fuseli's "The Nightmare". I think the scene where she's cutting his hair is from Honthorst's "Samson and Delilah" but I'm not absolutely sure. There are a lot similar pieces (thank you Art School). Nonetheless, it's a really phenomenal video. I've watched it so many times!

@samcolis8017 8 лет назад

She has all these men, women, and "demons" holding her back from loving herself and moving on from this guy that's playing her. a Hotel is a temporary home, she's at a temporary point in life that she can't move past. She is trapped with a man that she badly wants to have, but he isn't giving her any sign that he wants the same. She's learning from herself "Delilah" how to "dance" (move freely in whichever way she pleases) without being held bound to him. She's doing everything she can to be free.

@morrisbuschmeier2047 4 года назад

Delillah betrayed Samson. She enabled the Philistines to capture him. She thought him dance like you teach an animal in a circus. It's about betrayal and feminity, here breaking from a powerful man with a little wakness.

@bartlomiejkowarski808 7 лет назад

I always cry while that moment... 💖

@11kwright 7 лет назад

It's a speech people give ALL THE TIME! May not be of the same effectiveness but people, especially religious people say the same thing all the time "you can only love others if you first love yourself. You can only forgive others if you first forgive yourself". If you are impressed with this speech you are most likely VERY young and impressionable and haven't seen much of the world and easily led with the masses. That speech is only true to a certain extent. Cos there are those that make horrendous mistakes and go on to make more if not worse and don't learn from their mistakes ever. Now, do these people deserve another chance - how many people must fall before one realises that these people will not change for the better only for the worse!! If the mistakes, however, are small or have not affected another person in an extreme adverse way then YES, that person should be allowed to move forward to make better choices and changes. But how can someone forgive themselves when they give a monster a chance to make better changes and all that monster does is go on to make monstrous changes that affect people extremely even fatal - can't forgive oneself if you were part of enabling that. Sometimes the human mind can be damn stupid in the name of forgiveness. Every person that has committed a bad crime can only be forgiven if they are tested and are actively seen to show effective change - action speaks louder than words and if they fail again then should never be given another chance - is why America has "Death Row". Their soul can only be forgiven for not knowing better to make the right choices but can still not be given another chance if other lives are at stake! Yet people are affected more by a powerful speech than a person's actions. Anyone with a good brain can make a powerful speech and the "lemons" will always be impressed right to the bitter end off the precipice. A bit like politics really - s/he who is able to impress the masses will be the one voted in power - yet they always do what they want once in! This is why actors have a greater impact than say someone that is giving their whole life or a huge chunk of it to charity work helping others. Cos actors pretend, make believe whilst the charity worker is real, passionate, empathetic and useful. Just be very careful to be easily impressed is all I'm saying. The speech is at the beginning of a song - it's just a song with meaning. People should be that way in real life, meaningful and deep but rather show superficialness all the time - and remember, they are just words, whilst actions should always speak louder! If these words truly affect you, then just grow as a person and actually try to be that nice forgiving person for real!!!

@TheKa89 6 лет назад

11kwright The speech is the same as explained in buddhism about meeting and accepting/overcoming your dukkha. Physical age has little to do with it, that is a distraction and part of stress/suffering, instead simply the willingness to recognize, address, and shed these from your life, the four noble truths that you encounter. This video is quite an accurate example of Magga, or reaching it. You can have dukkha from 'good' as well as more recognizably 'bad' things, the issue is the hang up and holding onto it even after it's passed awhile ago.

@kyleannen731 6 лет назад

Some of these responses to your comment... I find it touching too, but in the sense of how Florence responds to it. It's so relatable. We constantly hear about how "we can't love other people until we learn to love ourselves." 11kwright is right about that. But it's how Florence is listening/responding to it that's of importance here. She's lying on the couch, half listening. Notice how he keeps saying about she has to learn to love herself multiple times in that segment too? I think Florence is just trying to show how despite us hearing these types of generic but truthful speeches over and over, it can be unbearably difficult to actually accept and apply them to ourselves.

@LoveK1 8 лет назад

I saw her a few weeks ago and she literally gave me chills. Something about her just completely opened me up spiritually and I felt like crying. This was so shocking because I don't cry easily but there was so much positive energy in the air that for a couple of hours it was like everyone at the concert was on the same wavelength and I felt a little raw emotionally. Seeing her live was on my bucket list and it was more than worth it. In fact anytime she comes near where I live I'm going to see her. She doesn't get nearly enough credit.

@letsplaypretend123 8 лет назад

I feel the same way. I saw her live and her recorded son don't do her justice (she is still phenomenal in recorded songs). Seeing her live and watching her get so in touch with her music gives me chills every time I think about it.

@samanthamyers4857 8 лет назад

A few months back I was at a music festival where she was playing, and while I hadn't known of her before, I promised a friend who hadn't gone that I'd get a good spot in the crowd to get her some pictures. I have to say, hands down, best performance I have ever seen. The atmosphere was much the same as when you went, and I actually did end up crying, as were many around me. The feeling of love and happiness and community in the crowd was just so overwhelming that I was overcome with joy, it was truly an incredible experience. I really hope to see her again.

@Bella815 8 лет назад

As someone whose had people with substance abuse problems in my life since I was a kid... When the wig comes off the blonde and she's clearly telling Florence "I'm not you." ...damn man. Really hits deep. Florence is brilliant but I never knew she could relate to the most down on their luck people so well. She seems so together but understands humanity so well. There's a certain segment of society that can relate to and understand this video and I don't think of Florence as that sort so damn does this woman have some empathy.

@UnitedSovietParty Год назад

This is so real. This song paints abuse and addiction in a light that finally made sense to me. I still have my struggles with alcohol and other drugs, and I may never outrun those demons, but I understand why I do it. And understanding is the first step to changing. There is courage in change, and there is growth in change.

+marmoh123 I think it's going to be Mother! Since this one is the turning point where she regains her faith and becomes strong once again and Mother reflects just that! I doubt she'll be doing VSAS since she mentioned once how it was a very personal song that she almost didn't include on the album..

@annabellelandry 7 лет назад

I don't know how to express it properly, but this is by far the most powerful song of this album for me. You can really feel the struggle and her strength through this difficult period of time when she realises her life has to change because she's worth it. To consciously see the world and the people around you with their true colours and to decide it's time to move on. I can see the true determination in her face to put all the effort necessary to finally be free. I think this is truly beautiful, poetic and rare to see this kind of video.

The Odyssey full movie is one of the greatest things ever made. And this video.. all I can think is that not everyone is ready to absorb the meaning and metaphores of a song and video like this one. That's gotta be the reason why this doesnt have more views.

Florence Welch: living proof that it's not necessary to be a silicone / collagen-enhanced plastic pouty trouty-face to be stunning. And that voice - she gives me the chills...

@NM-Queenofthedonutpeople 6 лет назад

Will S Because she has real talent and is unique. There are certainly talented enough artists that are commercially good-looking, but they been in with the next. Florence has the lyrical talent and deftness that mainstream artists lack.

@blackrain9946 5 лет назад

But only "plastic pouties" are played on the radio and marketed like crazy, real talents like her or even like Tash Sultana... not so much. I wonder why. Luckily nowadays there is the internet :)

[Verse 1] I’m drifting through the halls with the sunrise (Holding on for your call) Climbing up the walls for that flashing light (I can never let go) Cause I’m gonna be free and I’m gonna be fine (Holding on for your call) Cause I’m gonna be free and I’m gonna be fine (Maybe not tonight) [Verse 2] Now the sun is up and I’m going blind (Holding on for your call) Another drink just to pass the time (I can never say no) Cause I’m gonna be free and I’m gonna be fine (Holding on for your call) Cause I’m gonna be free and I’m gonna be fine (But maybe not tonight) [Pre-Chorus] It’s a different kind of danger And the bells are ringing out And I’m calling for my mother As I pull the pillars down It’s a different kind of danger And my feet are spinning around Never knew I was a dancer ‘Till Delilah showed me how [Bridge] Too fast for freedom Sometimes it all falls down These chains never leave me I keep dragging them around [Chorus] Now I’m dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine (Holding on for your call) A different kind of danger in the daylight (I can never let go) Took anything to cut you, I can find (Holding on for your call) A different kind of a danger in the daylight (Can’t you let me know?) [Verse 3] Now it’s one more boy and it’s one more lie (Holding on for your call) Taking the pills just to pass the time (I can never say no) Cause I’m gonna be free and I’m gonna be fine (Holding on for your call) Cause I’m gonna be free and I’m gonna be fine (But maybe not tonight) [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Refrain] (x2) Strung up, strung out for your love Hang in, hung up, it’s so rough I’m rung and ringing out Why can’t you let me know?

in case you're wondering, i saw her live in seattle on the first day of the high as hope tour, and she was just as animated on-stage as she was in this video. she danced barefoot the entire concert, and near the end she got down and sprinted through the rows of seats and spun around with audience members while the music was still going.

@astoriamiller 8 лет назад

This is- without a doubt, without an inch of disbelief, the best of the lot. HBHBHB is an amazing album, but this is the reason I love her. The maturity in this song is prettier than the best of her lyrics. The symbolism, the cutting of samsons hair, her dooming him and inadvertently dooming herself with guilt, her disbelief at who she has become. The devil on her shoulder, captivating her, possessing her, destroying her. And in between all that chaos, her beauty, her good, fighting who she thinks she has become. The forgiveness bit- I think that's the best thing I've heard in a while. I very rarely use the word love, and I'm not even a lover of music. But this is beautiful.

This is the first time I've watched the video and I'm absolutely stunned. So much in the video to delve into and reflect on. With the current situation it's crazy to see how art like this can retroactively be a statement about the current state of affairs. I felt like the first 2 minutes were so self-isolating that it really translated well. I wish I had more words to comment about how I'm feeling after I watched this.
