Discover the story of the song > Delicious – A Perfect Circle

The lyrics are about someone (the protagonist) who finds pleasure in seeing another person (his partner) being in a difficult and unexpected situation. The protagonist sees it as poetic justice and finds it delicious to witness the fear and consequences that the partner is facing. They accuse the partner of being arrogant and insolent, not caring about the harm they cause to others. The protagonist believes that the partner is on the wrong side of history and doesn't care about the damage they cause. They think it is fitting that the partner is experiencing this hardship and wishes them a good night's sleep. The chorus repeats the idea that it is not unusual for the partner to act this way and not care about the harm they cause. The protagonist believes that the partner's choices have consequences and wishes them a good night and tight sleep.
