Me... passing by...
Lahti, Finland
Jan 08

The sound of silence by Simon & Garfunkel


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 grow
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 subway walls
And tenement halls
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

In case you don't know... in the lower part, under the graffiti... there's a phrase in Spanish "Consider other crimes, and you will understand why this is art" :)

Yes I know San.
If you read the comments you'll see that we managed to get the signification of the sentence, the one you gave :)

I really think they are beautiful, but we just need to see it :)
It makes me think about Simon and Garfunkel song:
