Lyrics

Words like violence

Words have a powerful impact, akin to violence.

Break the silence

Breaking the silence, creating noise or disturbance.

Come crashing in

A sudden and forceful entrance into the speaker's world.

Into my little world

The intrusion affects the speaker's personal space.

Painful to me

The words cause pain to the speaker.

Pierce right through me

Words penetrate deeply, causing emotional pain.

Can't you understand?

The speaker questions the listener's understanding.

Oh my little girl

Addressing someone with affection, possibly a daughter.

All I ever wanted

Expressing desire or longing for something.

All I ever needed

Reiterating a simple need or desire.

Is here in my arms

The fulfillment of desires is in the speaker's arms.

Words are very unnecessary

Emphasizing the insignificance of words.

They can only do harm

Words have the potential to cause harm.

Vows are spoken

Commitments or promises are made.

To be broken

Acknowledging the fragility of promises.

Feelings are intense

Feelings are strong and passionate.

Words are trivial

Words are insignificant and trivial compared to feelings.

Pleasures remain

Pleasures persist despite the challenges.

So does the pain

Pain endures alongside pleasures.

Words are meaningless

Words lack meaning or significance.

And forgettable

Words are easily forgotten and unimportant.

All I ever wanted

Repetition of the desire for fulfillment in the speaker's arms.

All I ever needed

Reiteration of a basic need or desire.

Is here in my arms

Fulfillment is found in the speaker's embrace.

Words are very unnecessary

Emphasizing the harm that words can cause.

They can only do harm

Reiteration of the potential harm caused by words.


All I ever wanted

Repetition of the desire for fulfillment.

All I ever needed

Reiteration of a basic need or desire.

Is here in my arms

Fulfillment is found in the speaker's embrace.

Words are very unnecessary

Emphasizing the harm that words can cause.

They can only do harm

Reiteration of the potential harm caused by words.

All I ever wanted

Repetition of the desire for fulfillment.

All I ever needed

Reiteration of a basic need or desire.

Is here in my arms

Fulfillment is found in the speaker's embrace.

Words are very unnecessary

Emphasizing the harm that words can cause.

They can only do harm

Reiteration of the potential harm caused by words.


Enjoy the silence

Encouraging the enjoyment of silence, suggesting it as a preferable alternative.
