“Delilah” addresses the unaware potential of one’s self including the good and the evil. Before Delilah is released, Stephen posted on Instagram explaining the term “Delilah” in this context and his journey of self-exploration while dressing up as a woman late at night.

[Verse 1]
Here we are, Delilah
I see you staring over there
And I, I want you
Take your time, Delilah
I won't be going anywhere
Cause I-I'm haunted by you
[Pre-Chorus]
In the nighttime she a stoner
As she breaks free from the fears that control her, 'trol her
Malevolent thoughts of a loner
She don't like guns but she know how to load one, load one, load one
Load one, load one, load one, load one
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
She's just tryna be so free, so free, so free, can't you see?
How can life be so mean and so free?
And so mean and so free?
And so mean and so free?
And so mean?
So free?
How does anybody have control?
Woah, oh
How does anybody have control?
Woah, ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Here we are, Delilah
You're capable of anything
The good and the evil
Take your time, Delilah
I won't be going anywhere
Cause I—I am you
[Pre-Chorus]
In the nighttime, she pulls us
Into the abyss and I see myself closer, closer
Malevolence stands on her shoulders
I know what I am and I am only human, human
Human, human, human, human, human, human
Human, go on, human, human, human, human
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna be so free, so free, so free, can't you see?
How can life be so mean and so free?
And so mean and so free?
And so mean and so free?
And so mean?
So free?
How does anybody have control?
Woah, oh
How does anybody have control?
Woah, ooh, yeah
