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 share
And no one dare
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 sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
oh where the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.
It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
oh well the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.
Love is like a sin my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again
She seemed dressed in all of me,
stretched across my shame.
All the torments and the pain,
leak through and covered me.
I'd do anything to have her to myself,
just to have her for myself.
Now I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad.
She is everything to me, the unrequited dream,
the song that no one sings, the unattainable.
She's a myth that I have to believe in,
all I need to make it real is one more reason.
I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad.
But I won't let this build up inside of me,
I won't let this build up inside of me,
I won't let this build up inside of me,
I won't let this build up inside of me.
A catch in my throat,
Choke,
Torn into pieces,
I won't,
no,
I don't want to be this,
But I won't let this build up inside of me,
I won't let this build up inside of me,
I won't let this build up inside of me,
I won't let this build up inside of me.
She isn't real,
I can't make her real.
She isn't real,
I can't make her real.
Time to get away, gotta help myself, soon!!! Help myself…
sans prendre le temps de s'arrêter
dernier cri, premier arrivé
aurons nous de l'eau cet été
tout le monde cherche à s'échapper
nous ne faisons que passer
dans l'ombre sous la lumière
sans prendre le temps de s'arrêter
si l'on nageait sans respirer
aurons nous de l'air cet été
tout le monde cherche a s'échapper
nous ne faisons que passer
dans l'ombre et la lumière
nous ne faisons que traverser
des océans des déserts
nous ne faisons que passer
dans l'ombre sous la lumière
nous ne faisons que passer
dans l'ombre et la lumière
nous ne faisons que traverser
des océans des déserts
nous ne faisons que passer
dans l'ombre et la lumière
nous ne faisons que traverser
des océans des déserts
