Break The Silence
Vodka Juniors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you know it we left together far away to the islands
We'd swim all day and party all night and it was the best times of all
No matter what anyone says I can now see the beauty of this world
It all happened so fast next thing you know we headed up for the mountains
And if you haven't seen her you will never know how perfect really life is
And when I am driving she's always sleeping right next to me in the car
And I would drive to the end of the world like that, no matter how far
Oh she's sleeping now, can't you see how perfect life is
And I get so sensitive when she's around that I surprise myself sometimes
But if you try to hurt her you'll know what's like messing with the lions
And I don't know if this is gonna last
And I don't know but I'm gonna take a chance and give it all
Cause this life is just too damn short for me
And just too full of misery
So go on take a chance we're gonna make this last
The lyrics of Vodka Juniors' song "Break the Silence" speak of experiencing beauty and joy in the world through the eyes of a loved one. It starts with an unexpected adventure, leaving for an island and having the best of times possible. The singer is grateful to experience this despite the disapproval of others. The sudden trip came to an end, and they head up to the mountains, where the singer fell in love with the girl he is traveling with. She makes life seem perfect, and he would drive to the end of the world for her. He doesn't want anyone to disturb their perfect moment and tries to protect her fiercely. He knows life is short and miserable, so he wants to take the chance to make it all worth it with her.
The song's theme of experiencing life to the fullest and cherishing special moments ties back to the band's overall music style, emphasizing punk rock and alternative sounds. Interestingly, the Vodka Juniors' formed in 2000 and first gained a major following in Greece. Over time, they have gained international attention, playing at festivals like South by Southwest in the United States. The band's lyrics are bilingual and reflect their personal experiences, often intertwining themes of love and travel. They were even named one of the best English-speaking rock acts emerging from Greece.
