Enjoy The Silence
Son of Rust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Enjoy the silence...
The lyrics to "Enjoy the Silence" by Son of Rust are about the power of silence and how words can sometimes be unnecessary and even harmful. The opening lines, "Words like violence, break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world," illustrate how words can be painful and pierce right through someone. The singer speaks directly to someone he calls "my little girl," perhaps indicating a romantic relationship, and expresses that sometimes he wishes she could understand him without words.
As the song continues, the singer implies that words are often trivial and vows are spoken only to be broken. He suggests that feelings are intense and pleasures come with pain. The repetition of the lines, "All I ever wanted, all I ever needed, is here in my arms," emphasizes the idea that sometimes words are not necessary to connect with someone and that love can be expressed through action rather than speech.
The chorus, "Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm," is a powerful statement about the potential danger of using words carelessly or relying too heavily on them. In the end, the singer encourages his listener to "enjoy the silence," perhaps indicating that sometimes the most meaningful moments are found in quiet connection rather than through a constant barrage of words.
