The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Wither in silence my precious flower
Draining your pith and I devour
Would I crush you in my arms and make you bleed?
I'll hiss my tongue and feast on your ear
Summon the words that you need to hear
Your tears will stain my blade, but I won't feel
Twisting my hands around your limbs and
passing myself through unknown lands
You're stripped for me to play your every chord
Wither in silence my precious flower
Wither in silence my lustful flower
wither and scream until it's over
I shall crush you in my arms and we shall bleed
Nothing to fear I'll slide into you
Just draw me near, I'll see right through you
The taste of female heat upon your neck
I'm growing stench with bitter breathing
I'm nothing like you have been dreaming
I shall know and still let down your every need
Wither in silence my precious flower
Biting -Tearing - your skin
Twisting - Tasting - your sweat
Stroking - melting - deep within you
Fading - Screaming - death grin
blade in - thrusting - blade out
So wither in silence my lustful flower
wither and scream before it's over
As I've crushed you in my arms, together we ...bleed
Draining your pith and I devour
Would I crush you in my arms and make you bleed?
I'll hiss my tongue and feast on your ear
Summon the words that you need to hear
Your tears will stain my blade, but I won't feel
Twisting my hands around your limbs and
passing myself through unknown lands
You're stripped for me to play your every chord
Wither in silence my precious flower
Wither in silence my lustful flower
wither and scream until it's over
I shall crush you in my arms and we shall bleed
Nothing to fear I'll slide into you
Just draw me near, I'll see right through you
The taste of female heat upon your neck
I'm growing stench with bitter breathing
I'm nothing like you have been dreaming
I shall know and still let down your every need
Wither in silence my precious flower
Biting -Tearing - your skin
Twisting - Tasting - your sweat
Stroking - melting - deep within you
Fading - Screaming - death grin
blade in - thrusting - blade out
So wither in silence my lustful flower
wither and scream before it's over
As I've crushed you in my arms, together we ...bleed

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
