    but she would still like to tell their story because it is very beautiful, even though it may not be the same as other's stories. And you can pretty much just ignore all the other crap in the comments like people fighting over what it all means. For god's sake, can't we all just think of a bullshit meaning for this song and go off of that so everyone will finally shut the fuck up about it?!! God people!

    Well what I got about it was that she had a friend/boyfriend who also had the name Samson (from the bible)and that Samson had been diagnosed with cancer, and so he wouldn't have to see his hair fall out, she cut it for him. and their relationship lasted through it all, but since they weren't able to do anything MAJOR(even though I say lasting through it all is pretty major!) such as "bringing the columns down", their story was never written down in history books,and never mentioned in the bible.

    If this was in Delilah's perspective then this song wouldn't make sense at all as the story of Samson is completely different to this song and Regina being a devout Jew would know this. Delilah was effectively a con artist who was payed to find out where Samson's strength came from. I doubt very much Samson would have told Delilah that she'd 'done alright' after she tricked him into telling her where his strength came from, Delilah didn't even cut his hair in the first place.

    How am I shallow minded and literal? I stated that the focus of this song, the name of this song, is a metaphor. If I was talking about it literally then I would say that this song is actually about Samson. You need to read comments more carefully.

    you should really stop looking at the lyrics itself and start understanding the deeper meanings of beautiful song like this. you're too shallow minded and literal.

    i'm sorry for interrupting but for me i think this is really about the bible. if not, the phrase "i loved you first" would not even make any sense that ment delilah loved samsom first before she turned her back on samsom. and also the part beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth, beacause for me that meant beneath the sheets of the bible there lies the true story of their love for one another. and the part the bible didn't mention us meant that the bible didn't mention the true story of love.
