Suffer In Silence Lyrics

I know I mess things up
by turning gold to stone
because of my free will
I lied about it all the way
I need to forget and make this tragic feeling go away

(I never heard a word
a word of what you said)
I never heard a word
a word of what you said
Too busy beeing selfish
I never learned the rules of life

Yes I do confess
I licked you in the eyes
I need you to forgive and make this tragic feeling go away

I know I lost
please let me suffer in silence
I've said enough
please help me hide from the ghosts
from my past
for a while

I gotta say something about the third passage. It's tricky because of his accent, but it makes a little more sense this way:

It's time to confess, And look you in the eyes. I need you to forgive, And make this tragic feeling go away.

I'm with you on your interpretation of what the lyrics really are. I licked you in the eyes doesnt really fit with this song.

My thoughts on this song: This is the ballad of a screw-up coming to terms. He knows he's screwed up, and he just wants to be left alone, as opposed to having his face rubbed in it.

I love this song, because it quite accurately describes my relationship to the one person in my life who means the most to me.

Screwed up, I know.

But licking eyes is so much more fun than looking into them ;-)

"I licked you in the eyes" shall be "I look you in the eyes", Stephan is from Norway you know ;)

It certainly turns the situation a little more awkward.
