The Binding of Isaac - Delirium - With Lyrics by Man on the Internet ft. Kyle, Darby, Meg

[@superdimentiobrolyX]

"everything ends, you wont ascend" has to be the most chilling lyric, sums up so well all of Isaacs trauma. His struggle to cope with the loss of the way things used to be with his mom and dad, and his fear that he is to blame and fear of god, seeing himself as a sinner or a devil.

[@ProfessorMor]

Aaaaaaaa I love when people notice things like this! That line and "gasping for air, struggle to breathe" were some of the first ones I had solid because they capture the two major things that sum up Isaac as a whole at that moment. His life is ending, he can't breathe, and he thinks that everything is all his fault as he is a demon incarnate. Isaac is a small child who has had far too much weight put on his shoulders and has no idea how to cope with it all.

[@Nightmare-jo3mz]

​@@ProfessorMordelirium These are all Isaac’s problems, his childhood trauma that has become bigger than himself

[@JetstreamSam379]

I love the line "No matter how you choose to look at this." Because, whether you intererpt Binding of Issac as a mental representation of trauma, or something that is physically happening in real life, it never ends well for Issac.

I love that Kyle, Darby and Meg seem to be playing separate roles at first, but are ultimately still ALL Delirium, as if it's created a chorus of its own body to make its point clear as desert air.

[@ProfessorMor]

They did do absolutely amazing jobs at their voices. The blending of the three in their chaotic harmony embodied Delirium so well and I couldn't have asked for my lyrics to have better vocalists if I tried.

[@-Commit-arson-]

I like to think that whenever the chorus starts singing, “gasping for air, struggle to breathe” this is Isaac realizing “oh crap I’m suffocating” But it’s too late for him anyway…

[@Joetheknight406]

it also sounds like a haunting klaxon. which is fitting considering what it felt like to suffocate.

Him being unfair is, ironically enough, pretty on brand with his theme of representing an mental breakdown if you think about it. Struggle all you like, curse him as much as you want, the decay of your own mind doesn´t care about what you perceive as fair. You either run out of health or run out of air at the end of the nightmare.

[@ProfessorMor]

Little late to getting this posted, but still want to get my writers inspiration comment done! Delerium was a rather interesting song to work on. After I did Greed I wanted to look at what other songs were popular and by far in a way Delirium fit that bill. It was at the time of it's inception THE big bad of the game. Representing Isaac's manifestation of his imminent death and what little bit of his sanity that was left slipping away from him. A lot of elements of this song were written taking all this into account, Deliriums unknowable nature, the death of Isaac and the loss of his mind, as well as the culmination of everything. To capture some of that I had the idea that Delirium would function kinda similar to Lavos from CTtM, three voices all being part of the whole. However, unlike Lavos where the voices are working in unison with each other, Delirium is complete chaos, never working together and harmonizing in their broken way. The main thing that the voices try to convey is the hopelessness of it all, "there is no hope" "you didn't matter" and so on. I really wanted to lean on the aspect of, Isaac enters the chest because he believes he is the cause of every problem, it's his fault his dad left, it's his fault his mother is sad, (potentially) it's his fault that his mother never brought home the baby brother she talked about, in Isaac's mind EVERYTHING is his fault. With that I wanted to run with the idea that everything in the game is how he manifests every "sin" he has committed. Going on the bible side of things, I wanted to find a way to blend that with the experience of childhood trauma and how it effects something. Since those are aspects that Ed has stated played a big part in this game, I felt it appropriate to blend the games story, the song, and even some of my own experiences together to make one disjointed yet cohesive experience. Isaac is shown to have been raised very Christain/Catholic and because of that he has probably above average knowledge of Bible stories. He manifests the seven deadly sins in various ways as part of him, he believes the angels while wanting to save him also want to punish him, and of course above all, believing that his mother plans to sacrifice him in the name of God. All of this mixed together to me just blends into the various lyrics I made, the chants of the sins, that compared to death/God he is nothing, that all he is is a broken crying child. With the chanting chorus, I had the idea that they represent Isaac's intrusive thoughts, always nagging him that he isn't enough, always saying the worst possibilities,and of course manifesting as his "sins" moments before death. I don't quite know how well it comes across, but in the non singing portions of the song the whispers were written to be "various intrusive thoughts", while he's they are quite, they are many, and their whispers are maddening to anyone, especially a small child. I know for ones I responded at least, all of them were me using the medium to reflect my own intrusive thoughts, the demons that plague my own mind just like Isaac's do. It's a small detail but one I really wanted to blend in. I might comment more lore snippets as I think of them, but for now, that's some of the big things for this song. Now for compliments. Kyle, Darby, and Meg absolutely NAILED IT on the three aspects of Deliriums voice. Darby especially caught a type of voice I hadent expected honestly because when I wrote it the faster voice was just meant to be a "deep voice", but when I heard Darby's almost metal singing for it I was in love. Now don't take that as I don't enjoy the other two voices as much, because I really do! Kyle for the primary singing voice was a delight to hear with the more "normal" tones it brings compared to it's counterparts. And Meg really captured just such a chilling tone of voice with the high notes in Deliriums lines. All of the people in the chorus did such an amazing job as well! The invasive whispers, the chanting, and the echoing chorus are all just absolutely magnificent and tie the whole thing together in just such a wonderful way. Darby also did such a wonderful job on the video editing as well as the singing! He had mad a really great rough draft on first pass and somehow the footage I had given him corrupted itself and was absolutely crap quality. Luckily he was patient with me while I struggled to get another Delirium fight to spawn so I could get him the nice crisp art you see here. It also was a blessing in disguise because I had the last second thought of adding the cutsceen footage as well as the 7 sins fights and the way Darby edited them was beautiful! The ending especially it gives me chills the way he edited Isaac's last moments together. And if you haven't seen the whole cutsceen, he even made sure you'll have a nice surprise when you play the game yourself. Of course with art Junebirb did such a wonderful job and when I first saw it I was more excited than I had been before. I cooperating all of the various forms Delirium can take in it all as part of the mass that is Delirium was just such a wonderful choice. The way it is all looming over Isaac and the shading, I couldn't have asked for a better piece of art. Oh, and I guess the lyric writer and footage gatherer did a good job too. Alright well, that's all from me this song, I can't wait to be able to bring you guys even more songs in the future, and it seems like I might need to work on another boss fight. Might have to see what people want to see next time, but who knows? I sure don't yet. 😉

Ah, the best worst boss in Rougelike history. I love what's been done here with the lyrics. It's Delirium, Isaac's mom and Isaac himself commenting that there really is no point in fighting back and trying to escape fate. Isaac is going to die, no matter if he defeats his delirious thoughts. His life will reach an end no matter how hard he tries to avoid it. Wow, that was depressing- But exactly what i had expected from Binding of Isaac. Phenomenal job guys. aaand welcome back to another season of The Calamity Show with your host - loser that has nothing better to do than recommend a video game soundtrack! Gotta make this brief so the comment isnt overly long. I still think the Calamity OST has massive potential for lyrical adaptations. It may be stockholm syndrome kicking in, but I've still got hope it can happen!

[@Dr.C0007]

For the calamity mod soundtrack suggestions, they probably haven't done it due to *the composer*'s intention of the songs to not have lyrics and for the ones that do, as much as they may slap what else was there to add to give them a grandiose/end-game feel.

Interesting take on some things! I would have had this information out earlier if I had noticed, but the voices are actually all Isaac's interpretation of his death, all three voices are delierium in a disjointed mess just like Lavos but more chaos. The chorus are the "sins"/intrusive thoughts and all in Isaac's head!

​@@eddieandsunkystudios1267 Probably. When they speak their own lines; Lust sings slowly, tauntingly in a berating way. Wrath sings quickly, just a torrent of how everything will spin out of control. And Pride speaks just matter-of-fact, in the now.
