Enjoy The Silence
Natasha Hemmings 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
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms





Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Overall Meaning

Natasha Hemmings's song Enjoy the Silence talks about the power of words and their harmful impact. In the first verse, the singer confesses how words can hurt her and break into her “little world.” She experiences that the pain is not only physical but also emotional, as shown by the line where she says the words pierce right through her. The singer pleads with someone (her little girl) to understand that she doesn't need words to show love, as she emphasizes the chorus by repeating that all she ever needed is in her arms.


The second verse talks about the emptiness of words and how they can’t express deep emotions. For her, feelings are impassioned and intense, and there is no point in making vows because they are "spoken to be broken." Her only source of pleasure and pain is from physical touch since words are both "forgettable and meaningless." Finally, the chorus is repeated, with the singer reassuring herself and her loved ones that all that is needed is a physical connection, as words can only harm.

Lovely rendition, you just gained yourself a new fan! This song is pure pop perfection, with melancholy undertones and you did it justice with the angelic vocal piano version. Well done
