Chromatics - The Sound Of Silence Lyrics
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
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 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
And the sign said
"The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"

😭💞
I am very attached to this song. It means a lot in my life. I have never heard a cover worthy of the original version...I just wanna say that you are an added value of this fabulous melody. ..I love this version and your voice is spectacular.
amazing! the band really tried to be reverent and pay homage to a beautiful song for the ages
I see someone walking in the middle of the dessert alone with only this song
is it real or a mirage?
Italians Do It Better Music it could be both as longest you feel the music
Disturb the silence
Wow! It's so magic ♡
I listen to you from Peru!
Hello, don't know if it's legal but I made this with your song !

Wasn't it Albert Schweitzer that said:"there are two means of refuge from the miseries of live: Chromatics and cats."
Or something along that line.... ;)
Been one of my favorite bands since the beginning
Hi from Venezuela❤️🇻🇪
so refreshing from the original and i love how it sort of sounds creepy but also really cool
I am so glad I found you guys! I bought your albums! and I mean ALL.
Ruth's voice would go so well with 'Baby It's You'
I often imagine that when listening to the song
Absolutely haunting. Love it. ❤️
I finally found my favorite band
How could I know better. If I think I know the best. Whisper away your sweet sorrow.
Are we all the same? like rocks in the sand. What would it be but silence. Would I hold a light to the darkness of my mind. Was I awake in all the blackness. Will I climb higher than any mountain. Just to lose myself in the grey.

Привет Тьма
мой старый друг
Я пришел поговорить с тобой
Снова
Потому Что Видение Мягко Ползет
Оставил Свои Семена, Пока Я Спал
& Видение, Которое Было Посажено В Моем Мозгу
все еще оставаться
В Звуке Тишины
В Беспокойных Снах
Я Шел Один.
Узкие Улочки Из Булыжника
Под Ореолом Уличного Фонаря
Я Повернул Воротник К Холоду И Сырости
Когда Мои Глаза Были Заколоты
На Вспышку Неоновый Свет
Это Раскол Ночь
& Коснулся Звука Тишины
И В Голом Свете Я Увидел
Десять Тысяч Человек
А Может И Больше
Люди Говорят Без Слов
Люди Слышат, Не Слушая
Люди Пишут Песни
Что Голоса Никогда Не Разделяют
И Никто Не Осмелился
Нарушить Звук Тишины
Привет Тьма
мой старый друг
Я пришел поговорить с тобой
Снова
Way way better than the overproduced and obnoxious Disturbed cover!
This is going to a horror movie. I can already imagine that armchair moving.
If I had the money and resources I would definitely do at least a trailer with this, it's an amazing piece.
I just wish I get to watch Chromatics live once in my life!
Come to India!
I love you guys... Please come back to Dublin, soon!
The name brings so much to light! This is a cover, or partial! I love it!
Just as breath taking as I had hoped 🖤
This is my new addiction
A season 4 teaser cut to this though

We love love love this one
"...Hello Darkness My Old Friend..."
Italians Do It Better Music “...I’ve come to talk with you again...”
I've come to talk with you again...
Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you finish the song?
"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
I love this version, but it’s incomplete and it’s driving me crazy.
