Vocalist Andrea Ferro said of the song in an interview with Metal Hammer:

[Intro/Chorus: Cristina Scabbia]
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
[Verse: Andrea Ferro and Cristina]
I can't surrender (surrender)
I cannot breathe and
I'm still going under (going under)
It's hard to realise
It's getting closer (so closer)
I fear this struggle
Is wasting me from inside
[Chorus: Cristina]
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
[Verse: Andrea and Cristina]

[Chorus: Cristina]
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
[Bridge: Cristina]
Enclosed, in a shrine
Locked away inside my mind
I walk in the darkness and neon light
Delirium will take me away...
[Chorus/Outro: Cristina]
Delirium!
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium!
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Delirium
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
