歌曲歌詞
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 walk 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 dared
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 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 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.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
歌曲鑑賞
Paul Simon和Garfunkel的《寂靜之聲》唱出了和“垮掉的一代”同樣的孤獨,同樣不知道該何去何從,他們更願意做的是感悟人生,瞭解這個世界的祕密。
《寂靜之聲》旋律飄緩低迷,歌詞充滿了一種幻覺般的意境。細細聽來,彷彿在訴說著年輕的無助。眼前似乎看到一個懵懂無知的女孩,獨自一人行走在鋪著鵝卵石的狹窄、清冷的小巷裡,喧囂的人群在她身後漸漸遠去,前面是沒有盡頭的黑夜,歌曲如果說是屬於民謠的話似乎太深邃,如果說隨著強勁的樂曲而震盪的節奏是搖滾的話,卻又太細膩,音樂上它複雜而迷離。
