Enjoy the Silence (Lyrics from Depeche Mode’s Song)

The lyrics moved me so much I just had to post them here, if nothing, for my own reference in the future =). So, so, so true.

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence

I like this song too… but, reading it like this brings it to a different level… I like how it can actually be interpreted different ways…

and then, I can’t help but wonder what the words are, exactly, that he doesn’t want to hear??
(Her vows of love? Her wanting to hear his vows of love? Perhaps words of vows made to others? Perhaps no words can come close to describing the intense feelings anyway so why bother? Perhaps someone is ruining the vibes by asking stupid questions… or saying the wrong things and should just keep their mouth shut, relax, and enjoy…LOL)

How typically female of me…LOL ;)

Yeah, I read it much the same way. Some feelings are so deep and involve so many emotions and thoughts together that mundane words, with their unscrupulous knife of logic will never express anyways, so why bother. Relax, be happy and just be for once. =).
