实际上讲的是人际关系的变化
那种人与人之间的隔膜越来越大
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 along
narrow streets of cobble stone
beneath 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 light
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
"fool" 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 you"
but my words like silent raindrops fell
and echoed in the walls 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 signs said "the words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
and tenement halls"
whispering in the sounds of silence
嗨！黑暗，我的老友,
我又来找你聊天了
只因有个幻影缓缓的爬行
趁我熟睡时洒下种籽
如今幻影已种植在我脑海里
和寂静之声共存。
在无尽的梦里，我一个人走在
圆石铺成的狭窄街道上
在街灯的光晕下
我竖起衣领抵挡湿冷的天气
闪烁的霓虹灯刺痛了我的眼睛
光芒分割了夜晚，也触动了寂静之声
在没有灯罩的灯光下
我看到了数以万计或者更多的人们
人们聊天而不谈心
用耳朵听而不用心聆听
人们写的歌，歌声里毫无感情分享
而且没有人敢去惊扰寂静之声
「傻瓜！」我说：「你不晓得---」
「沉默像癌症一样蔓延
听听我教你的这些话话
握住我伸出的手。」
但这些话像无声的雨落下
在沉默的井里发出回声
人们对着自己造出的霓虹上帝膜拜、祈求
招牌上闪示着警告
在它显现的字句中
说著：「先知的箴言
写在地下铁的墙壁和廉价公寓的门厅上
并且在寂静之声中低语」
一种在自我对话，内心独白。。。。
伤感,无助,寂寞
