i know there's two things and a lot of people never grow out of the subconsious insecurity of being abondond by their parents before they know how to survive on their own, even once, if we ever do. but for someone like me, not being robbed of my own thoughts, by the sound of a human voice, speaking a language i know, silence, or the silence of human made sounds, is a very sweet sound indeed. and there are other sounds, when human loudness is not robbing us of them. the still quiet sounds of wind and water and small furry creatures off in the distance. even some mechanical sounds are more pleasing to the mind and ear then that of the human voice. being able to hear ourselves think, is not a bad sound at all. of course that's what imagination is for, one of the things anyway, and why we should never throw it out with the bath water.
The sound of silence goes more along with the alone a crowd theme. Think about how many times you have been ignored or ignored someone leaving them out or being left out. When all the talk around you goes elsewhere but to you. That is the sound of silence.
indeed. in not so much a crowd, as with people who are with each other, and you're not individually with any one of them, that's really the only time i feel that sensation of alone ness. of wishing to be more closely and specifically 'with' someone. but then i remember all the times i have been, and what i missed on the other side of that fence because i was. so yah there's a balance. but it doesn't ever have to be looked at from that depressed and disappointed kind of perspective. a song paints a picture of a feeling. but its just one picture, and no one has to emotionally lock themselves into its perspective. it does a great job of what it does, but there's a reason i don't like the idea of looking at things that way. its really just a total trap to do so.
