Enjoy the Silence
Dj Cremoso & Depeche Mode Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Enjoy The Silence" by Dj Cremoso & Depeche Mode speak to the importance of the physical and emotional connection between two people over the need for constant communication through words. The opening lines, "Words like violence, break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world," suggest that words can be overpowering and hurtful, and that the silence is more comforting. The singer is requesting that the person he is with simply be present in the moment as the chorus says, "All I ever wanted, all I ever needed, is here in my arms. Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm." The singer is expressing that he doesn't need words to feel validated or connected with this person; their presence is enough.


In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that words can only cause harm, and feelings are intense and more important. The idea that "words are trivial" in comparison to the physical and emotional connection between two people is reiterated. Finally, the song ends with the acknowledgement that while words can be forgettable, the memory of the physical intimacy between two people remains powerful and meaningful.
