Psychological exploration of the disintegrating relationship between Xena and Gabrielle during the season 3 story arc, famously known as "The Rift". 

Music is "Enjoy the Silence (Reinterpreted)", which is a Max Shinoda (from Linkin Park) remix of Depeche Mode's hit. I like most versions of this incredible song, but this is the one that best fits the Rift.

WARNING: High angst alert - this is the Rift and only the Rift, people. It's tragic all the way, with no happy ending included. If you can't handle too much darkness, please go and watch one of my happy Xena vids! :O

ENJOY THE SILENCE (REINTERPRETED)
* * *
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

Enjoy the silence
