“Without a Word” is about the good old “my woman left me”. Nothing fancy here. But the lyrics give the impression that it might have all been planned from day 1. So, the question is whether the character in the song has been used all along. I guess this could also be called “Illusions – Part 2”. I think the words before the last chorus are important. “Bitter-sweet affliction, comforting addiction”. After we have been used and we are no longer needed, somehow we still are into the person that did that…
