what is "The Sounds Of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel about?
i was reading the lyrics and i really don't understand what they are talking about. can somebody please explain it to me? here are the lyrics if you need them: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/simon+and+garfunkel/the+sounds+of+silence_20124814.html
thanks guys. my band director was saying it is about war but i don't really know it could be about that. is it because of the protests against war?
I recently watched an interview with Paul Simon who was explaining it. It blew me away, then I understood. It was about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. How the nation was gripped in shock and silence as the nation watched his funeral procession.
HOWEVER I found this article which may also be of interest to you....(excerpt)
"Paul Simon took 6 months to write the lyrics, which are about man's lack of communication with his fellow man. He averaged one line a day."

BUT BUT BUT
I found this piece of news that seems to combine both of these explainations:
The Sound of Silence
Written by Paul after hearing about President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963. It took a long time to complete, four months, finally finished on February 19th 1964. There are 4 different studio versions I am aware of:
1) The Paul Simon Songbook
2) Wednesday Morning 3am
3) The Sound of Silence (overdubs on 3)
4) The Graduate
Paul - "A societal view of the lack of communication."
- "The lyrics burst forth practically writing themselves"
Art - "The Sound of Silence is a major work. We were looking for a song on a larger scale, but this is more that either of us expected."
