"Sounds of Silence"的歌詞如下：
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 with me
(CHORUS)
What can I say to you?
To make you understand?
What do I tell you, to make you see?
The everchanging face of you
(Verse 2)
Linger in the air and you listen
Don't you cry 'cause it's the end
You're welcome here among the broken
You and all your dreams, you have half lives to live again
You were promised much and so unfinished
Must forever have been with you in moments laced with madness, flashes that never ended
(CHORUS)
And so my challenge now is to find a way to make you hear me
Make you feel my pain, my madness and my melancholy
And if I'm not mistaken, I think it's only fair
That I should let you know what I am feeling here tonight
(Bridge)
So here it goes, I'm feeling no pain
And I'm not afraid to let it show
And now I'm feeling no pain
And I'm not afraid to let it show
Because now I know that there's still time
To make it right, before we say goodbye
(CHORUS X2)
