The Lyrics

Just like I said I would do last night (though I just post it), I saw the lyrics of the song Sounds of Silence. It was like I described it. Basically what it says is that people talk and hear things, but are unwilling to reveal the whole truth about themselves. They don´t say what they are really thinking about, that is for their minds only and for the very few who are able to break through that wall. In the end, when everything is quiet, when we get rid of all the noise, then we are truly listening to our deepest thoughts and we keep them to ourselves because we think no one will understand how we feel.
We believe it´s better if we don´t say things that may sound innapropiate for the people around us (or society in general) because we struggle to find our place in the world. In the movie, it was in those moments that we saw the true nature of the characters, who was lying, who was jealous, who were they in love with. And until they saw a sign they were able to express it outloud and let the other people to wander about what they said.
