Silence Is Distance
Yves Klein Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when sin is just words, in your silence there's no crime.
So fake all your love in choosing badly family with a lizards' eye,
Oh and its making me ill and making me scared of how hard I'd try.
Yes if you fake all your love dear
Then there's nowhere you can't hide,
But stay with me honey though it's safer inside.
You looked so funny when you told me: the rumour strikes the heart of the lie.
And I could taste it on the air, I could feel it on my spine.
Oh and even though I drives me wild I couldn't blame you for having it straight in your mind:
That two wrongs make a right,
For using it as an excuse every time.
But have you saved all your money? You could leave this town tonight.
But if you come any nearer I'll only be a mirror for your spite.
'Cos if you fake all your love dear, then there's nothing you can't do -
But just save me the trouble of finding nothing more to you.
Silence is distance words are lonely there's miles between your skin and mine,
But when sin is just words, in your silence there's no crime.
So fake all your love in choosing badly family with a lizards' eye
Because it's making me ill, making me scared of how hard I'd try.
But if you save all your money you could leave this town tonight
But if you come any nearer I'll only be a mirror for your spite.
Yes if you fake all your love dear, then there's nothing you can't do -
But just save me the trouble of finding nothing more to you.
The lyrics of Yves Klein Blue's song Silence Is Distance explore the idea of distance in a relationship and the consequences of faking love. The first line, "Silence is distance words are lonely there's miles between your skin and mine," highlights the gap between two people when there is a lack of communication between them. The second line, "But when sin is just words, in your silence there's no crime," implies that when two people are not honest with each other and keep their true feelings hidden, there is room for manipulation and dishonesty.
The third and fourth line, "So fake all your love in choosing badly family with a lizards' eye, Oh and its making me ill and making me scared of how hard I'd try," suggest that pretending to love someone and choosing the wrong people to be close to (family with a lizards' eye) can be harmful and cause pain to both parties involved.
In the end, the overall message of the song seems to be that honesty and genuine feelings are crucial in a relationship, and that faking love or hiding one's true self only leads to distance and loneliness. The song touches upon the facade that people might put up in order to protect themselves from rejection, however, it draws a clear conclusion that such facade would not only harm themselves but also the people around them.
