In “delirious,” swim school sets the lyrics' atmosphere in an argument with an individual, where she vents the problems she deals with against misogynistic people. Alice uses empowering lyrics to mock a misogynist character who thinks she will listen to them.

[Verse 1]
This happens to me every night
I can never do it right
You seem to explain it over and over again and again
I know that you have made up your mind
As soon as I come into sight
You disengage when you see my name, my face, my age
[Chorus]
So what you want me to say?
Oh, you're so dangerous
So generous like I've never seen it before
Then I lie a little more
Oh, you're so delirious
If you ever think I'll listen to a word you say
[Verse 2]
See, I wanna know who gave you the right
To treat us any way you like
You put us down and cut us off and shut us out
And you could never hide your lack of respect
Even if you tried your best
It just lingers around and I know that you're proud in the way that you sound
[Chorus]
So what you want me to say?
Oh, you're so dangerous
So generous like I've never seen it before
Then I lie a little more
Oh, you're so delirious
If you ever think I'll listen to a word you say
[Bridge]
I'll say it louder for you
So it can really get through
Your insecurities show nothing but your jealousy
I'll say it louder for you
So it can really get through
Your insecurities show nothing but your jealousy
[Chorus]
So what you want me to say?
Oh, you're so dangerous
So generous like I've never seen it before
Then I lie a little more
Oh, you're so delirious
If you ever think I'll listen to a word you say
