What Do The Lyrics From "The Sound Of Silence" By Simon And Garfunkle Mean?
I've tried multiple times to figure out the meaning to this song, but have hard time understanding it.
Can anyone help?
Here are the lyrics:
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive 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 deared
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 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.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
Answer:its just about living in new york city during the late 60's and how lonely you can feel even with so many people around, and the way most people are just sheep following their beliefs and never finding true happiness.

i Need Help With My Paper?
hey I have a paper due soon, and I need your help in telling me if this paper make sense to you or not. and if not , how can I make it better, and if you can fix the grammar and the mistakes in it. English is a second langauge for me, and I find it hard to explain myself in English, and grammar is a major problem for me,
here is my paper :
After September 11, 2001, the West Started to question Islam and the Islamic society more than ever did. People Started to Search for explantations of what causes people to commit such acts againstt civilians. The West started to question everything realtes to the Islamic Culture. The space between these two societies started to get bigger. Americans started to blame a lot of accidents on Middle Eastern people. On the othere hand, the war on terror that George W. Bosh started in the Middle East made the situation even worst. The conflict that people are withessing around the world is not about the teaching of Islam. It is about how people understand the teaching of Islam. The teachings of Islam are reasonable and understandable except the Story that the Qur’an claims about Jesus Christ. But, individuals, and some Islamic groups, such as Osama bin laden and the Qaida, made Islam look evil to the West.
There is no doubtt that the laws Islam Follows could be strange to Westerns such as the Jihad. The west understands the word Jihad as what Osama bin Laden has taught it in his videos on Aljazeera TV. On the othere hand, the Jihad in the eyes of a Muslim is different from what Osama bin laden taught. The real meaning of Jihad according to Aslan is “The word Jihad litorally means ‘a Struggle’ ‘a striving’ or ‘a great effort’ ” (Aslan, 81). Aslan explains Jihad as two types: the greater Jihad and the lesser Jihad. The greater Jihad is basically the internal struggle and the soul figthing sins. Lesser jihad is the violent struggle. It is to fight in the name of god but not to start a war. Mohammad never liked to start a war, but he used to be strict on the self-defense part. This is what the west and Christianity did not understand. Mohammad used to encourage his people to fight the enemies if they started to fight. But, Osama bin Laden uses verses from the Quran that supports and fits his holy war with ignoring the othere verses that can explain the teaching of Islam about the Jihad. Osama bin Laden made it confusing to the West by convincing the West that what he is doing is what Islam teaches and that people in the Middle East supports him. This confusion about the meaning of the Jihad can easily be one of the reasons of the conflict between the two civilizations.
The way Muslim women is expetced to dress in Islam are different than what the West are used to. Women in Islam are supposed to wear the Hijab, whichh is a cover on the hair and sometimes the face. The way the media connetced the Muslim women with the Hijab and the terrorist organization made the Muslim women look dangerous to the West. The West looks at any lady with a Hijab as a person who is involved with the terrorists. The confusion became even worst after watching ladies in Palestine wearing the Hijab and recoding videos about them ready to commit suicide attacks in Israel. But, Muslims argue that the reason for the women wearing the Hijab is to cover their bodies and to be less noticeable and attractive in public.
Marriage in Islam is a little bit different of what the Christianity teaches. Marriage in Islam is close to what Christianity teaches expetc for the ability to marry up to four women. Christianity can see the practice as a sinful one. The reasons of this rule are not clear to the West. This practice will make people in the west feel that Muslims and the beliefs of Muslims are different, whichh can be one of the reasons of the conflict. But Aslan Argues that this practice; multiple marriage, is for a good reason. Back in Mohammad’s time, men were always sent to war leaving a lot of women behind. This caused more women than men, and women in Islam, especially in Mohammad’s time, were expetced to be married.
The way Muslims see Jesus Christ and Christianity could be sensitive and unacceptable for Christians and the west. Islam believes that Jesus Christ is just a prophet who came to this world and died just like any othere prophet. According to Brown” When the Qur’an mentions Jesus (he appears more than any othere prophet) it seldom negletcs to remind us that he is not God’s son, that he never claimed to be God’s son, and that Christians blaspheme by saying so” (Brown, 58). These judgments that the Qur’an mentions several times, can be offensive to every Christian. . This is a good reason that could keep the distance between the West and Islam.
The whole Islamic Culture is not clear to the west. Western civilization and Islamic civilization are different. But, it is not what caused the conflict. The media and the wrong understanding of I
Answer:1) "the west started questioning Islam and the Islamic society more than ever.
2) .People started to search (you have used capitals in the wrong places) for explantations of what caused (instead of causes)
3) The West started to question everything realting to Islamic culture.
4) on people from the Middle East (instead of Middle Eastern people)
5)not about the teachings of Islam (instead of teaching)
6) But individuals, (not-- But, individuals,)
7) Al-Quadia (proper arabic form)
8) no doubtt that the laws Islam follows ( you shouldn't capitalize follows)
9) no doubtt that the laws Islam follows could be strange to Westerners, such as Jihad or Holy War. (the way you phrased that sentence confuses me....try to rephrase whethere in my way or maybe your own way)
uuuummmmm..well that was the proofreading for the first paragraph, maybe someone else will do the next...hope this helps =]
