| Simon and Garfunkel – The Sound of Silence Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Simply, Garfunkel said himself that it is about a world not willing to love each other- they no longer even know how, and the lack of communication on a emotional level. Yes, we speak, but we say nothing of value, nothing worth sharing. He wrote it when he was merely 21, so it is also a song of youthful angst and want for meaning and communication between all. Wishful thinking perhaps; a dream of light breaking the current shadow of darkness. Communication is more than words, it is feeling, and these people that worship media and money are superficial- they see not that they have missed the point. Light being good, but neon lights are man made and might seem like the real thing, but cannot ever compare- yet we worship it. Reverts within himself, into his darkness of thought- people breathe without caring for it’s worth, not knowing that silence is where we are when we realise we’re not living the truth. He has a wisdom that translates into the hearts of those that see as he saw all those years ago. Man, I meant to narrow it down into a single line, there went that theory. |
