歌詞
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
<span begin="1:19.469" end="1:24.688">And in the naked light, I saw</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:21.858" end="1:24.192">(In the light, I saw)</span></span>
<span begin="1:24.706" end="1:29.821">Ten thousand people, maybe more</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:27.070" end="1:29.803">(Maybe more)</span></span>
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
<span begin="1:58.536" end="2:05.012">Of silence, of silence</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:59.743" end="2:05.000">(Of silence)</span></span>
<span begin="2:04.906" end="2:09.981">Fools said, "Ah, you do not know"</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:06.951" end="2:11.420">(Do not know, you do not know)</span></span>
<span begin="2:10.052" end="2:15.046">Silence, like a cancer, grows</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:12.087" end="2:17.220">(Oh it grows, oh)</span></span>
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms and I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god, they made
And the signs are shouting its warning
And the words that it was, was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls, and in tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"
