Enjoy The Silence
Ikonoklast 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
Cant 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.
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Cant you understand
Oh my little girl?

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

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

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