Depeche Mode – Enjoy The Silence

  General Comment:Mike Shinoda's music video is excellent, brings out this kinda futuristic look.
  It really adds another dimension beside obvious explanations that this song is about drugs or relationship

  General Comment:It's about heroin. "All I ever wanted is here in my arms" says it all.

  General Comment:I've always thought that the song is referring to that very specific moment right after making love, when there are intense feelings around, and for some people (mostly men) pillow talk is not only unnecessary, but can ruin the moment. That's just my two cents.

  General Comment:This song really was the meaning as to what happened in a relationship. We got caught up with each other really fast and we were very passionate sexually. We even tried to stay apart for a while, it didn't work. Eventually it ended poorly and a whole lot of regrets followed.

  My Interpretation:Well, considering this was made in the time of John Hughes film, i think this is meant to describe a moment when two people, possibly previously unaware of their mutual liking for one another ("all i ever wanted"), finally realize that they like each other and are now holding ("in my arms") each other. The moment in particular is beautiful and doesn't need words (="enjoy the silence").
  OR
  This is about how a relationship will fail because of one's secret (leaving for another city, affair, etc.) and the person that he/she is hiding this from should enjoy "enjoy the silence" about him/her not knowing this devastating news....for now.

  My Interpretation:For the longest time, my interpretation was that this was a song of SELF love, and it became a self-love anthem for me. I pictured a person literally embracing themselves. "All I ever needed is here in my arms". This sounded like being self-sufficient, and in control of one's own destiny, but mostly loving of the self.

  General Comment:It means words can be harmful,and some play it whenever they are going to 'get even' by remaining silent. It's an "I'll Show You" stance that really gets old quickly. Some people are missing the noses on their faces yet they are too stubborn to ever admit it;) Goodnight; the fever and I are returning to bed after a very weird day online. Did I say WEIRD? Man, friggin' weird.

    And it never fails to get weirder, if that's even a word:) Just want help with Big Mama Thornton lyrics. Instead of reading wild and crazy things into that, why not help with the lyrics? The woman is deserving of recognition, Mr. green eyes. xoxo

    Actually, there was a long line of words that I uttered.

    You shoot yourself in the foot every time. Do you like hobbling on one leg. Is it some kind of dance craze you get into 'cause knowing you you get filled with regret not long after you stick your big foot in your big mouth. YOu may be brighter than most, but you're an idiot in many ways. There is no ghost to give up so you've already accomplished one of your goals.

    Bella, lucky you. It's 8:00 on the West Coast so you still have time to make it to the clubs to bring someone home. Paradise between the thighs is one of the songs you love so much. Play it loud so I can hear it over here in Seattle. I'll be yelling Woot Woot whenever s/he screams out in excitement.
