The lyrics of the song are written in five stanzas of seven lines each. Each stanza begins with a couplet describing the setting of the scene, followed by a couplet driving the action forward and another couplet expressing the climactic thought of the verse, and closes with a one-line refrain referring to "the sound of silence". This structure is supported by a melodic contour, where the first and second lines are paired with the arpeggio A-C-E-D and a repeat a step lower, respectively. The arpeggio is then stretched to become C-E-G-A-G and repeated twice in the second couplet. For the last three lines, the contour then leaps from C to the higher A, rises to the higher C, and then falls back to the A before singing the stretched arpeggio in reverse and finally retreating to the lower A.[19] The progress of the lyrics through its five stanzas places the singer into an incrementally increasing tension with an increasingly ambiguous "sound of silence". The irony of using the word "sound" to describe silence in the title lyrics suggests a paradoxical symbolism being used by the singer, which the lyrics of the fourth stanza eventually identifies as "silence like a cancer grows". The "sound of silence" is symbolically taken also to denote the cultural alienation associated with much of the 1960s.[26] In the counterculture movements of the 1960s, the phrase "sound of silence" can be compared to other more commonly used turns of phrase such as "turning a deaf ear" often associated with the detachment experienced with impersonal large governments.[by whom?]

The first stanza presents the singer as taking some relative solace in the peacefulness he associates with "darkness" which is submerged "within" the ambiguous sound of silence.[30] The second stanza has the effect of breaking into the silence with "the flash of a neon light" which leaves the singer "touched" by the enduring ambiguity of the sound of silence. In the third stanza, a "naked light" emerges as a vision of 10,000 people all caught within their own solitude and alienation without any one of them daring to "disturb" the recurring sound of silence.

In the fourth stanza, the singer proclaims in a declarative voice that "silence like a cancer grows," though his words "like silent raindrops fell" without ever being heard against the by now cancerous sound of silence. The fifth stanza appears to culminate with the urgency raised by the declarative voice in the fourth stanza through the apparent triumph of a false "neon god". The false neon god is only challenged when a "sign flashed out its warning" that only the words of the indigent written on "subway walls and tenement halls" could still "whisper" their truth against the recurring and ambiguous form of "the sound of silence".[5] The song has no lyrical bridge or change of key, and was written without any lyrical intro or outro to start or end the song.

Your alarm will still sound with DND on. But, there are a few times when it didn't go off for me and I think it was because my vibrate switch was on. Typically, if DND is off, but your vibrate switch is on (meaning you have it set so calls and such will not make sound by way of that switch on the side) then your alarm will still go off. However if your vibrate switch is on while DND is on, i believe it silences the alarm.

TThe only way to silence the alarm is to have the ringer volume off so make sure you have it all the way up to hear tthe alarm when it's on vibrate mode/mute or DND mode. always have my phone on mute with vibrate but the ringer high so my alarm is loud enough

In Simon and Garfunkel's version it's like they have been living in this world forever and all they have left is the ability to softly cry out against what they see is wrong. So there is this air of crushing sadness that permeates through the entire song and ends with this quiet admission that they failed to end the sound of silence.

With David it's more like he just realized this is the real world he has been living in. So it starts of with this haunting reflective sadness like remembering something depressing but significant from your childhood, then he at first gradually, and then rapidly shifts from frustration to anger at the FOOLS who would not take his arm or hear his words. Finally shifting to a depressing acceptance like Simon and Garfunkel that he also failed to end the sound of silence.

This is a great song that I love, and it is very intelligent and poetic. The song uses the imagery of light and darkness to show how people's ignorance and apathy destroys their ability to communicate even on simple levels.Its theme is man's inability to communicate with man. The author sees the extent of communication as it is on only its most superficial and "commercial" level (of which the "neon sign" is representative). There is no serious understanding because there is no serious communication - "people talking without speaking - hearing without listening". No one dares take the risk of reaching out ("take my arms that I might reach you") to disturb the sound of silence. The poet's (character in the song) attempts are equally futile (" . . . but my words like silent raindrops fell within the wells of silence"). The ending is an enigma. The words tell us that when meaningful communication fails, the only sound is silence.

I've already posted on lyrics (see above)... but the Disturbed version is also notable, in that it builds dramatically: Draiman's tone is softer and more mellow, until it becomes more forceful with "Fools..." -- and then again becomes even more forceful, almost rage, with "And the people bowed and prayed..." This brilliantly mirrors the lyrics of the frustrated prophet, whose words are unheard ("But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence") -- so that, by the end, he is yelling in order to try to break through and have his message heard and heeded...

It's also a song about a homeless war veteran with PTSD who fought in Normandy. He has a recurring dream where he sees an explosion (it's something that happens sometimes in soldiers who've had such an event happen, and they often need therapy, or meds of some kind for it). It's also about as you said, those people that are just zombies who work for the "collective". The kind of people who don't question anything, don't want to learn anything from someone, or exchange ideas. Just blindly follow people they feel are worthy of respect based on their title, or power. Kind of people who are narcissists always like "uuhuhu look how great I am!" and actually suck lol. Those followers, they'll follow their leader to the edge of hades ofofo.. They lack something inside, and search for "something more" in all the wrong places. Break the sound of silence.

I was skeptical when I first heard this. The original is an old favorite that tugs at the heart strings a bit. . . But after a few listens, I think Disturbed does a better job of conveying the dark message in this allegory. While I feel S & G were singing about the futility of combating social disintegration fueled by hedonistic consumerism, given our political climate today, it really seems quite prophetic. Replace the word "silence" with the notion of what we've come to know as "reality TV culture" and, if the song's warning goes unheeded, you end up with a Trump presidency.

Verse 1The narrator is damaged with their own memories. Darkness is their "friend" because it accompanies them often. Their sleep is disturbed. They can't get rid of the images they are burdened with - probably from youth.

Verse 3In this busy but desolate place, people are mingling but never get to say what they should say. They are ignoring their problems and drinking (and other things) instead. People talking without speaking = people who can be read even though they do not talk (people sitting alone, slumped at the bar, for example). People hearing without listening = people who don't LISTEN. These people are preoccupied with their own hang ups and don't process what's being said all around them. No one dares disturb the unspoken pact not to tell their truths and disrupt the so-called comfort of their own and others' silence. No one dares ask, how can I help? They can't help themselves - how can they help others?

Verse 4The man narrating sits among all these people, who share his pain, held within themselves. He is bitter and can also recognize that they are all in the same boat. They are ignoring their deepest pains - not letting anyone else in.The more they do not speak of them, the more they get passed on and multiply - like a cancer.This man wants to speak up.He wants to console the others.But he is stuck in his own silence and he can only cry instead.His tears are not heard, "echoes in the wells of silence"

Verse 5The people keep their worship over the drinks that helps (questionable) them feel better. The neon lights light up a promise of light and happiness. It's draw is loud, but the real source of healing are in the words that can be shared with the fellow men who suffer in the "poor" society. If only they'd share their voices! But their cries written on the walls (literally 'speaking' in silence) are not heard and are often erased before people can see them (they are 'graffiti' and are not 'proper'. But they're cries for help and to be seen.

With the biggest difference between the two modes being the screen lighting up in silent mode when you receive a call or text, flipping the ring/silent switch is the easiest way to silence your iPhone as long as it's in your pocket, purse or backpack. Just be sure you check to see if the Vibrate on Silent setting is disabled, because a vibrating phone can be just as distracting and therefore embarrassing as a ringing phone in some cases. ff782bc1db
