There's no wrong interpretation, but your interpretation of it changes as you listen to it at different ages. Remember to come back to it in future and have another go at interpreting it. It is definitely worthy of doing so.
When Paul Simon wrote it in the 1960s televisions were on display in shop fronts playing without any sound, and TV was on a meteoric rise in popularity with countless shallow vacuous variety shows, so this song was a kind of foreboding ominous warning. By the time David Draiman sings it screens have already totally taken over our lives in their many forms becoming a symbol of our disconnected communication, and he expresses the rage that we never heeded that initial warning.
Agree with every word you just said.
In a very melodic and clever poetic way, Simon and Garfunkel were whining about the abyss created by the technological environment that was lulling us to sleep, an outgrowth of the 1950's promise to "engineer a better world". A sullen objection to the Christian, engineered, society of the period, that they felt suppressed deep philosophical interaction.
Disturbed saw that they could capture the "vibe" of the movie "Sin City" (a band member "looks like" one of the Sin City actors), which had a message in some ways related to the original meaning of the S&G song, "Sound of Silence". In operatic fashion, David Draiman, comfortable with "technology", musically SCREAMS his challenge to the abyss, placing the blame not on technology, but on people not caring about others. This is woven together with the video, of their studio version.
Actually, guys, from what I’ve read, Paul Simon, who was in his early 20’s when he wrote the song, said the meaning of the song is very simple… he was expressing his and his generation’s frustration that no one in the older generations were listening to them.
When this song was written there was no cell phones, no internet the year was 1964 The Sound of Silence was originally released by Simon & Garfunkel's. The song, like the LP, wallowed in obscurity until it was rereleased with changes in January of 1966, when it reached No. 30 on the Billboard charts
To me, the song is about the inability to communicate. We speak at each other, the other person doesn’t really listen, but just wants to talk back. The exchange of ideas and thoughts really doesn’t happen, hence the sound of silence. Silence being the lack of real communication and the sound being the meaningless words.
As others pointed out in other threads, the original was a warning to the future and this version is the result of not listening to the warning.
Hearing them perform this in concert is a moving experience.
The sound of silence is what we hear when we are not communicating.
This was written before social media but alludes to our times (or warns). Instead of communicating we are praying to our neon gods (technology). The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls does allude to graffiti (in my opinion) as it can be seen as the downtrodden crying out. Unfortunately, most of what we hear is that sound of silence.
That's how I heard the lyrics when Simon and Garfunkel recorded this. David (lead singer for Disturbed) takes an amazing but soothing song and transforms it into something that truly expresses what the lyrics are crying about (IMHO).
The song us about our failure to communicate with each other. Technology has taken over our lives. The video uses the analogy of musicians with instruments and people on the other side with the sheet music. They need to come together in the end for music (communication) to happen.
😂? What? This song was written in 1964! How had technology taken over our lives in 1964???
@@JohnSmith-gp3copaul was referring to TV at the time.
@@Teresa7087 only 9% of people in America owned a tv back then
@@JohnSmith-gp3co What the hell is your problem? Go bother someone else, please!
Yeah, it's not about "technology" taking over 😂
Very profound comments about feeling and hearing pain that nobody else can. I’m significantly older than you and I’ve heard this song so many times from the original artist and everybody since them. You’re the first person who brought up the idea of hidden pain or the idea of something like that. Bravo.
You're absolutely right I had never heard anybody say anything about the pain aspect so I went back and I actually listened to the original and then I re-listened to this one with that thought in mind it gives a different impression when you look at it through that lens. Pain,isolation, depression I think technology has increased the impact of these things on people of today.
Great cover reaction. To me Simon and Garfunkel the original writers and performers were telling us back in the 60’s when I first heard the song to get our shit together or the future won’t be pretty and David’s version is saying oh well the shit has now hit the fan!!!!! Just saying. So says Austin Tx!!!! 😍😍😍🍸😎
Interestingly enough, if you go back to Simon & Garfunkle's origional vesion was much more upbeat. Disturbed really leaned into the depression of the lyrics. Which I PERSONALLY, think makes it really better. My interpretation was of a people who had been silenced by some overlording force, like a military regime or something. and as they find the pages & musical instruments scattered, I was reminded of places like North Korea, Nazi Germany, and even Japan at one time I think. All of which at one time during rebellions or the rise of tyrants, such musical lyrics, instruments and other things that give hope to a defeated people, are usually banned, burned & destroyed. I particularly get that feeling when they start picking up the sheets of music. You get a quick flashback to it being written. Then here it is, scattered among the sands. Whatever you believe. It's powerful stuff.
Paul Simon says this is the BEST cover ever. High praise coming from the author of the song...
I had to check out the comments and see everyone "telling you" what the song was about, pretty good comments actually, compared to some comment sections on this song with people arguing ad nauseam..lol.
I saw an article last year, posted online of a mid 90s, Rolling Stone interview with Paul Simon, the writer of this song, and they asked him about his inspiration and if he knew that his lyrics would sort of tell of a future of disconnected people. He goes, honestly... well I was 20 and just moved out on my onw, and had apt. with a bunch of roommates, and I used to go into the downstairs bathroom to get away from all the commotion, lock the door, turn on the water, turn out the lights and practice my guitar. One particular evening doing that, I sat on the edge of the tub, started strumming and said, "hello darkness my old friend" and within about 15 minutes I had the melody, and wrote the lyrics later that night or next day. He said besides the opening line being factual, the rest I thought was some really deep shit that sounded cool and was nothing more than teenage angst and hoping it impressed the girls. He ended stating, I'm glad that so many people to this day, take different meaning from the song, and can shape it to be meaningful to their lives in whatever capacity they want, I feel like that's the gift of that song to future generations. I don't know if he was embellishing to Rolling Stone cause he didn't want to tell the real meaning, but I thought it was a pretty solid explanation.
Trying to analyze what a song is saying from the opening line is like trying to summarize a novel by reading the opening chapter. Listen to the whole song and then analyze, let the storyteller take you on the full journey
When Simon & Garfunkel wrote this song, it was about the Veterans experiences after the war was over & how it affected them. Examples: "Because a vision softly creeping, left it's seeds while I was sleeping...." "In restless dreams I walk alone, narrow streets of cobblestone." And the words go on to tell you what he saw in his dreams. Now Disturbs version may mean something different. If you watch Disturbs video, I look at their meaning as no communication between the musicians and the music composers. They are separated & must find away to reach each other so the people who are talking without speaking & the people hearing without listening can come together & combine the musicians with the composers which will create sound so it's not silent anymore. At the end of the video you see the musicians on one side of the river & the composers on the other side. Finally the musicians uses a boat to get to the other side to join the composers.
The lyrical contetnt is also fitting representative of the trauma that David Draiman experienced from finding his girlfriend, after she committed suicide. I bet that's real pain he's exuding, which makes it even more effective at conducting emotion. The lyrical content is masterful and poetic storytelling. Good video. I enjoyed your reactions.
This song was written in the 60s after Kennedy was assassinated. It’s about the inability to communicate. The light that he talks about is referring to the tv and how corrupt it is making people. The lyrics to this song is amazing a true artist wrote this, though this version of it shows it’s true meaning in my opinion. You can feel it. You should watch the live version on Conan in 2016. David sounds incredible!!!
David the singer said the day he lay down the tracks for that he wasnt scheduled to sing but they got him in, he did 3 hours straight which was the longest hed ever done. When he came back three days later to hear the final mix he listened to it 3 times and was crying his eyes out. It hit him so hard that he just couldnt help but cry.
David Draiman sang that with so much passion
I think the word you are looking for is “ futile” and the frustration and rage that comes from it. When a part of the world screams but the rest walk by, this is what this song represents.
Hey, you're watching a VIDEO, don't close your eyes, you're missing so much of the interpretation! The impact of the visuals is why they made a video!
You're right,also just too many rewinds,for me,that ruined the flow of the song.This version of the song by David is absolutely outstanding,even Paul S admitted it,what better compliment could you get.
Ultimately, it is the music that matters. The video adds emotion, of course, but the song is the thing.
This is a very deep song, a song about man's disconnect with man.
On the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls part , to me relate to the wisdom on the street being unfiltered, pure, real, unromanticized, & angry unlike the 'wisdom' of the upper crust of society that tends to drive that anger and devolves into more of a utopian than reality based understanding. It's like if you are in the Military and you want to find out what is going on you listen to the foot soldiers, not the Officers if you know what I mean.
try to just listen, enjoy the song, then delve into the lyrics, otherwise your 1st listen is or can be confusing. try their other cover called "if i ever lose my faith" , great song and lyrics. great reaction :)
I have listened to probably over 600 reactions. This thread was the most intelligent, WOW
The original version of this song was written by Simon & Garfunkel and was released in 1964, well before mobile (cell) phones were invented, but I think the lyrics have much more meaning and poignancy today. People text instead of talking, the art of conversation will become lost. I grew up listening to S&Gs version and always loved it, but I have to say I love this one even more. David Draiman’s voice gives me chills, and (just my opinion) he is wasting his talent singing heavy metal
Your explanation was damn close, but was written in the 60's I think, so no cellphones. That's why it's haunting because it basically predicted the future.
To me when he says, "the words of the profits are written on the subway walls, tenement halls" he is talking about graffiti, but more, it is the angst of the new generation, fears, hopelessness, as well as hopes and dreams, that will need a reconing as this generation matures. They are profits because they are telling you what matters to them, and what will have to be dealt with in the coming years.
Alarm Clock syndrome. Simon and Garfunkel gave a wake up call. Disturb is telling you your late Ran spot on them 20 years ago
Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel created this song in 1963/4 due to President Kennedy's assissination and the Civil Rights Movement getting more violent and probably a few more negative things going on at that time around the world.
The band if you do not know is a Heavy Metal Band. The singer David Draiman met Paul and Paul was so impressed by their cover he said he was going to put a link in his Social Media pages and suggest his folliwers go and listen to it. A standing ovation to the Band from Paul. It now has something like 770+million views!
It is as you say a problem of communication but also much more, and there was no Social Media back in 1963, and I don't think the Vietnam war had started then, I think that was a few years later, but I could be wrong with the start year.
When S&G first put it out it was/is a "pretty" song with lovely harmonies but I think Disturbed have nailed it with their rendition. This is not a "pretty" song the lyrics are not pretty, it is a song with dark undertones but all the time keeping that beautiful melody that Paul wrote and I personally think Disturbed did a wonderful recreation of the song.
🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Almost as if when Simon and Garfunkel wrote it was a soft warning to now a brutal reality from Disturbed
She got it.. saw it in her eyes
And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.. and tenement halls! Are the words you’re looking for mate! X
"And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenament halls"
Paul Simon said he used to lock himself in a dark bathroom to get quiet enough to bring his music forward.... he wrote this just after the Kennedy assassination so there are many layers of meaning both personal and cultural which have gotten even more profound 60 years later.
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 shared
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 out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence
He says that "the words of the prophets write it in sub way walls and tentament homes" he speaks about poor and homeless people with clear soul
Yep. These two truly don’t get it. Graffiti? WTF
This was a worming to all the people. Song by Simon and Garfunkel
If you guys like this you should definitely check out Paul Simon. The Sound of Silence at ground zero. Not saying that either version is better but he's the one that wrote it.
@Marc Smith, granted, there wouldn't have been a cover without the original. I grew up with the original and I still love it. But, while Simon & Garfunkel's original was iconic for the 60's, even the 80's, when the menace of complete emmotional disconnection was still slighty distant, I DO feel that the Disturbed's version is iconic to TODAY, when we've become more disconnected than ever before... The silence is deafening when you're looking for a soul to LISTEN to you and understand you, instead of just hearing you...
@@elenadinu7576 couldn’t agree more. Simon wrote a song beyond his times. David’s voice and composition forced us to finally Listen to the words. Both versions compliment each other well and tell a fantastic story spanning 50 plus years. … damn
you should checkout Disturbed "hold on to memories" has double meaning, about being present with those we love rather than waiting until they are gone
Sound of silence was written around the time of President Kennedy's assassination and the Vietnam War. I was 4 years old at the time. If you really listen to the words, it tells a lot of stories that almost everyone can relate to. It even relates to things that are still going on today. It was a warning to the world then, but its also saying nothing has changed.
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls. That's epic.
Maybe back when he wrote the song people wrote more substantive messages on the subway walls and tenement halls, lol.
"the words of the profits are written on the subway walls and tenement halls..."
The way I always interpreted that was the anger and hate that was growing between each group of "other" and how we were fixin' to find ourselves in a bloody mess if we didn't get our act together and stop the idiocy.
The best I just watched yhe celebration of Paul Simon who is the original writer and singer with partner Art Garfunkel who has passed Pail and Art are miracles of the 60's & 70's love them.
Paul Simon Google him
This song was written in the 1963 when times were different . Paul Simon was telling us to look to the future and now we can see how society has evolved . As people age their interpretations may change but from knowing the first song my interpretation will be slightly different to yours. Loved your reaction I’ve just subscribed 🌸🌸🌸
it about not speaking up when they see injustice
I’m still waiting for someone to see Noah’s Ark at the end!! Someone!!
she was definitely feeling it
Dude... just watch the video they made and you will understand the song. Disturbed managed to create a visual about that song, to explain it's meaning written by Simon & Garfunkel decades ago. It's about the seperation between people. The one who has to say something and want to spread word, but doesn't talk and the people who talks all day, but never listen. Metaphorical displayed as songwriters who doesn't share their songs, and the musicians that doesn't care. And David managed to raise his anger during the song about this situation, because neither of both sides tries to disturb the silence. So at the end, he set sail to cross that river that seperates them, bringing those musicians across to the songwriters, so they can share their songs, which at last will be listened and performed by the musicians to close the circle. - Just review the video, while listening, it explains itself pretty good. Don't believe it has anything to do with cell phones or social media, cuz the song is from 1964. ;-)
My take on this song.
Language was formed to convey a message, so words should carry a meaning when spoken or heard.
In today's world people no longer care about the message they convey out of fear of how others might take it.
So people chose to talk, however the words convey nothing, words with no message are the same as silence.
Today people will listen to you speak but they wont care what you say, they hear what ever they want to hear. (You can see this a lot when a woman is mad at you.)
In today's world it is to troublesome to convey your message, when others talk to you they say nothing of substance if anything at all, so why bother?
Straight facts 🔥
In short. If the instruments are on one side of the shore but the musical lyrics are on the opposite side of the shore, there's silence
I'm a Christian and my own interpretation is that man is blind in his sin and lives in lonely darkness until he is saved by the light of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ. All music is from above and there is plenty of singing in heaven! lol. I see the neon god they worshipped as all the glam and glitter of this world, technology etc, that distracts man from having faith in the one and only true God, but don't feel there is no hope. The Lord is waiting for YOU! If you feel convicted of the sin that separates you from your creator, with a sincere heart fall on your knees and ask him to save you because he promises he will! He has paid the debt for your sin on the cross where he died, but hallelujah on the third day he conquered death and arose from the grave. At this very moment he is alive and sitting on the right hand of the father who has designated HIM to be our King, to rule us in the Kingdom he will eventually make on earth. I could also draw a comparison to the gulf that separates him from the people on the other side as sinful man on one side and our Lord on the other beckoning us to join him but sinful man is deaf. This man's voice is incredible and it is a special gift from God. He shares it with us and how thankful I am for that! God bless to all and nothing but love.
Omg
Love you're reaction, you rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!
please do the live version...you will not disapointed....
Exactly....live version from the Conan O'brien show is hauntingly beautiful...an epic masterpiece.
Anyone can go in a studio and with tweaking, sound good. The same thing with imagery in the studio version. Someone sitting out alone on an island, like in the Conan version, with no studio tricks, I'll take that any day.
It will give you chills, and leave you in tears.
Peace....
You guys should check out TOOL! Start out with the song THE POT. I think you guys will like it!
We did that one go check it out
Live is even better its crazy good
Anyway,Have you seen the video by R.E.M.,'Everybody Hurts' the video where they are stuck in a traffic jam on the freeway.
You obviously have not heard the original song by Simon and Garfunkel to notice 'Disturbed' different take on the song,or maybe you know the original 60's version?
It's about a lot of things. Speak up to defend yourself.
This song is great but David rocks it.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
I appreciate your reaction.
No communication
Original song was in the 60’s. Simon and Garfunkel.
This is a cover, the original was made by Simon And Garfunkel in 1964
You need to listen to the original song by Simon and Garfunkel that was done in the 60s it was a foreshadowing like a warning of things to come. Disturb's version is "you didn't listen" so it's a "now we are angry." Apply it to how things are today.
Doğa için çal deniz üstü köprüdür 🇹🇷💕
So while you’re right about the being in the phone it’s more than that, this song was written before cellphones. It’s talking about people just keeping their heads down and carrying on with life but not seeing or hearing the pain and struggle around them.
Gnome Sane is correct that there isn't a wrong interpretation to this song, and I agree with their analysis of the songs. I would add that it might help to listen to the original by S&G, listen to Disturbed's Ten Thousand Fists Album, and then relisten to this song. And I say listen to Ten Thousand Fists because, if I remember correctly, David wanted to do this song in 2005 but didn't feel he would do the S&G version justice. So I see the S&G version as an prologue to that album while this is an epilogue.
When the song was originally written tagging wasn't a thing. Search Simon and Garfunkel
Watch the Live version that he sang on Conan. It’s AMAZING!
Lol you all need to look up Simon and Garfunkel who originally wrote and sang the song it was before the tech we have now it was sang in the 60's
You should listen to the original version. Also amazing
Live version.....Conan O'Brien Show
It's jaw-dropping 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯
The video is the best part.
Its a prediction of today's technology
Words on the subway walls and tenement halls is graffiti yes and it is honest feelings that no one can verbally express or no one cares what that person said, but their feelings are written for all to see.
Nice ht
Get high as hell, then listen to again. 🎶
Ezhel&Ufo36-Preis its a masterpiece
Laber nicht

Did you know?, that he first started out singing in OPERA?!.., He is now a Heavy Metal singer band, Go figure~.., His voice is like creamy, thick, warm chocolate!.., He has THEE MOST BEAUTIFUL voice I have ever heard in my loooooong life as a music lover!.., This song IS a WARNING, think about it!.., EVERY meaning in this song, comes from the written WORD of the LORD, it's ALL in the bible!!!.., The WORDS of GOD speaks to the SOUL!!!!.., Our END is coming!
You are dead on.

Why everyone stop this video
Kayla! Stop your boyfriend immediately! The level of pausing and commenting without any accuracy is maddening, your channel will NOT grow if you continue to let him pause and comment, pause and comment! AND, he's pausing at every SINGLE, important part of the song, NOBODY is here for that. STOP HIM KAYLA!!
Do you know the difference between a reaction and analyzing ?
guess ya should have looked up the lyrics
I'm surprised you guys havent reacted to DIMASH.. you haven't heard singing like this .....start with S.O.S.
ua-cam.com/video/AUARjexCTlQ/v-deo.html
analyzing the lyrics is completely missing the point. The song was written over 50 years ago and has been covered zillions of times and the lyrics have been analyzed to death. The reason this has so many more views than any other version isn’t because of the lyrics, which haven’t changed…..it’s the PERFORMANCE! The live version on Conan is his most popular video ever with over 130m views! This is one of the great singing performances you will ever hear and you’re completely missing it by trying to analyze the lyrics. You’d NEVER have hundreds of millions of people reading the lyrics, which you can do. It’s the music and the vocal performance is so unique and powerful
Please react on Lord of the Lost -the broken ones. It‘s Male me Cry Luke this Song
Dope as that is, per usual the original is better to me.
wow use have actually have no clue to the meaning of this amazing song
No it is NOT Graffiti., it is verses of the bible written by the biblical prophets!.., Remember he sang of the NEON GODS>>>> this is what people worship NOW, today, no longer worship the LORD!
Tip...some shit pause timez
The words of the Prophets are written....Prophets from the Bible is the meaning...
What's that accent from the gril..weird says made up..I don't know..
OMG your killing puul up the lyricks please ! Its about people talking about nothing and pray I g to false gods like
