This is for an 8th grade english project. I already know the symbolism just need to know what the 'sound of silence' really means. And I know it does not have to do with nature. Thanx so much for your cooperation!!!!!

The sound of silence. To me this means the pregnant quiet. Although people may not be speaking...the silence itself is telling it all. In the silence is the desperate agony of a voice stolen by anguish and shock. The full silence of things left unsaid...of pain so fresh as yet not completely realized but soon to overwhelm. Have you even seen someone cry silently...their chest heaving, tears streaming down their face but they make no sound? It is heartbreaking...they look so isolated...so alone in their pain. It is far more wrenching than a loud wail...the sound overwhelms the emotion.

Well, that's a good question. In my opinion, the sound of silence is the feeling you have when you don't have any sounds to distract your mind. You are forced to deal with the present moment and the situation you are in. You are alone with yourself and you might think, 'Now what?'

the sound of silence is just what it says. what you hear when there is nothing to hear. often no sound can have more imact than any sound. when a forest drops into silence as a predator is moving through... at a funeral where noone speaks because noone knows what to say... the eirie calm in the eye of a huricane....

"Simon conceived of the song as a way of capturing the emotional trauma felt by many Americans left by the sudden death of a vigorous and visionary leader." -- wikipedia
