Lyrics of
Enjoy the silence

Enjoy the Silence is one of Depeche Modes most famous songs, written by Martin Gore. It was released in 1990 on the Violator album. The song was originally conceived as a ballad, but was later transformed into a more up-tempo number after suggestions by Alan Wilder and producer Flood. The lyrics discuss the desire for serenity and the futility of words in certain emotional situations.

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

(Till the end)
Enjoy the silence
