Kata-kata 1

Depeche Mode - Violator (1990)

Bisa jadi kata-kata tidak mampu menggambarkan suasana realitas, suasana hati, dan rencana tindakan kita ke depan. Pada satu titik kata-kata bukan hanya tidak dapat mendeskripsikan apapun, bahkan kata-kata yang diujarkan maupun dituliskan malah merusak suasana, terutama bila keadaan tenang yang dituju. Kita tahu bahwa salah satu penemuan terbesar manusia adalah kata-kata. Kehidupan dan kebudayaan manusia berkembang karena kata-kata, walau begitu kata-kata jangan pula digunakan berlebihan. Kata-kata yang berlebihan digunakan akan mengaburkan, bahkan bisa menghilangkan, substansi. Sebab itulah, terkadang mari biarkan kata-kata tak mengambil peran.

Enjoy the Silence
Depeche Mode

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
