Enjoy the Silence
Joseph William Morgan 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

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Enjoy the Silence" by Joseph William Morgan touches upon the idea that sometimes words can do more harm than good, and that sometimes we can find peace in silence. The song begins by highlighting the power of words, and how they can be used as weapons to hurt others. The lines "Words like violence, break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world," suggests that the singer has been hurt by someone's words and is now feeling vulnerable.

The chorus - "All I ever wanted, All I ever needed, Is here in my arms, Words are very unnecessary, They can only do harm," emphasizes that sometimes actions speak louder than words, and that it's not necessary to use words to express feelings. The second verse of the song emphasizes the fragility of spoken words, and how they can be broken just as easily as promises can be made. The line "Words are trivial, pleasures remain, so does the pain," suggests that despite words being fleeting and forgettable, the emotions they can evoke are long-lasting.

Finally, the title "Enjoy the Silence" seems to be an ironic reference to the idea that sometimes silence can be the best form of communication. The song suggests that instead of speaking words that can hurt others, it's better to find peace in silence. Overall, "Enjoy the Silence" is a song that encourages listeners to think deeply about the power of our words and how they can affect others.

this song is already epic, dark.... and this mix is majestically beautiful, it touches the man's heroism in war and depth of love that screams underneath.
