[分享] The sound Of Silence Lyrics- by Simon And Garfunkel

[celestial09 (Koouos :D)]

最近對這首歌特別有感覺
尤其那句 People hearing without listening
真是讓人感觸良多

這真是個魔幻的時代，很多人都靠打壓別人來建構他們的自信
以逞才為樂，而不是謙卑的真的對學問有熱情與執著，對眾人有尊重跟悲憫

裝弱，謙虛，還會被一些自以為是的人瞧不起

So, silent like a cancer grows...


by Simon And Garfunkel

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 street lamp,
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.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening, 
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know" 
Silence like a cancer grows. 
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach to 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 sign flashed out its warning,
in the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
