Enjoy the Silence
Sue Ellen Lyrics

Words like violence
The language you use is like hurting me cruelly

Break the silence
Suddenly interrupting the quietness, like a storm coming and hitting me

Come crashing in
Rush in recklessly without warning, shaking my stable world

Into my little world
My small, safe and peaceful world that cannot bear too much aggression

Painful to me
Causing me ache, distress and affliction

Pierce right through me
Penetrating deeply into my inner heart and soul, causing agony and sorrow

Can't you understand
Don't you see my suffering, my tears and my plea for mercy

Oh my little girl
Addressed to herself as a vulnerable and sensitive person

All I ever wanted
The ultimate goal and desire for a long time

All I ever needed
The essential and necessary element for her existence and happiness

Is here in my arms
Referring to the comfort she finds within herself, coping with the outside world's chaos

Words are very unnecessary
Expressing the belief that actions and feelings communicate better than words

They can only do harm
Suggesting that communication often brings conflict and misunderstandings, not peace and unity

Vows are spoken
Promises and commitments are made

To be broken
Frequently unfulfilled and not kept

Feelings are intense
Emotions are strong, deep and passionate

Words are trivial
Expressing the idea that words are insufficient and superficial to express the intensity of one's feelings

Pleasures remain
Enjoyable sensations and experiences last

So does the pain
Painful events and memories haunt and persist

Words are meaningless
Conveying a sense of disappointment and disillusionment with the power of language to communicate essential truths

And forgettable
Making it easy to ignore, overlook or dismiss things said

Enjoy the silence
Embracing the possibility of finding tranquility and peace in moments of stillness and quietness
