Enjoy The Silence
Lacuna Coil็Œ€ 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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus: x3]





Enjoy the silence [Repeat: x4]

Overall Meaning

In Lacuna Coil's interpretation of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence," the lyrics describe the singer's need for silence and simplicity in the midst of a world full of chaos and noise. The song opens with "Words like violence, break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world," suggesting that the singer is overwhelmed by the noise and aggression around them. The lines "Painful to me, pierce right through me, can't you understand, oh my little girl" could suggest a childlike innocence and vulnerability, or perhaps a sense of being overpowered and helpless.


The chorus of "All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms" offers a moment of peacefulness and contentment, with the singer finding solace in the silence and stillness. The line "Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm" emphasizes the idea that sometimes silence is better than speaking out, particularly when words can be hurtful or bring about further conflict.


The second verse of the song continues with the theme of the powerlessness of words, with the lines "Vows are spoken to be broken, feelings are intense, words are trivial, pleasures remain, so does the pain; words are meaningless and forgettable." Here, the singer suggests that actions and emotions are more important than empty words or promises. The repetition of the phrase "enjoy the silence" throughout the song drives home the point that sometimes the most meaningful moments can be found in stillness and quietude.

[[Slenderman]]
Esta noche oscura
te tortura la locura
procura estar a mi altura
aunque es baja tu estatura
tartamudas ante el miedo
que genero en el momento
que aparezco entre las sombras
y en tu mente me conecto.
Ven victima mรญa
siente mi presencia
no luches por tu vida
y se parte de mi esencia.
Con decencia me escabullo
y aparezco detrรกs tuyo
huye todo lo que quieras
porque yo siempre te escucho.
ยฟTu eres Jeff The Killer?
Tu vida pende de un hilo
mientras te cortas la cara
yo te agarro y te aniquilo
has requerido
ser traumado para ser un asesino
cuando yo toda mi vida
miles de almas he obtenido.
Soy Slenderman
y puedo cambiar de forma
te conformas si te digo
que tu cara es espantosa
llevo la maldad
y la expando a tu alrededor
no requiero fuego y cรบter
para causarte terror.

[[Jeff The Killer]]

Tu Siempre me vigilas
creo que primero
unos ojos necesitas
veo que has notado
que soy sumamente guapo
pero no me envidies
tu eres eh ยฟAlto?
Voy a ser sincero
no quiero esta riรฑa
no voy a batallar con un
flaco que roba niรฑas
eres tan malvado
eres tan entomรณfilo
espera la palabra que busco
es PEDOFILO!.
Crees que esos tentรกculos
te hacen aterrador
pokebola ve te elijo
a ti Bulbazor
supongo que jamรกs
rosaste el filo de la muerte
mala suerte la tuya
el placer es excelente .
Necesito un cuchillo
y mucha gente ejecutar
mientras tu esperas
en el bosque pa' niรฑos asustar
colocando notitas
con dibujos sin un fin
ja solo te dirรฉ
GO TO SLEEP!
