Enjoy The Silence
Alx Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
Uh, uh
The lyrics of "Enjoy the Silence" are a powerful representation of the human psyche and the complexity of emotions. The song begins with the artist reminiscing about losing his mind and finding comfort in that place. The line "Even your emotions had an echo in so much space" expresses a feeling of loneliness and isolation that one can experience when they disconnect from reality. The second stanza presents a thought-provoking idea, suggesting that being out of touch is not due to a lack of understanding but because of knowing too much. The repetition of the phrase "Does that make me crazy?" emphasizes the uncertainty of the singer's sanity.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the message through a playful yet serious tone. The artist advises the listeners to think twice about their actions and not to believe that they are in control. The phrase "Ha ha ha bless your soul" adds sarcasm and humor to the lyrics, making the listener question their beliefs and assumptions. It's an acknowledgment that the world can be complicated and confusing, and it's crucial to maintain a level of awareness and understanding.
The bridge reinforces the song's message by identifying the singer's heroes as those who are not afraid to live life on the edge, "lose their lives out on a limb." Those individuals and their fearless attitude inspire the artist to follow the same path. The repetition of the line "Maybe I'm crazy" in the final stanza indicates that there is a certain level of comfort in being different or unpredictable.
