My teenage daughter has never heard about the band Depeche Mode. No wonder: Depeche Mode was in its peak long before she was born. I am thinking of introducing her at least to the “Enjoy The Silence” song (above).
In today’s world, it is useful to learn when to talk and when to be silent. In my case, it took a long, long time to realize that in many cases silence was better than anything I had to say.
In today’s world of noise, where we are assaulted by blizzards of unnecessary words, limiting our expression may translate into higher impact.
These days I am depleted, and there is nothing to say that would not sound like a complaint or negativism. Who needs more of these? What we need is realism combined with a clear plan to move ahead. Until the sunshine finds me again, enjoy Depeche Mode:
Enjoy The Silence (lyrics):
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
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
