This is my twist on the classic "sound of silence" by Simon and Garfunkel.
I hope you like my lyrics.
I also hope you like my video editing since it took me almost 4 hours to do.
Here are the lyrics - in case you want to read them:
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to scroll through you again.
Because a feed is softly creeping,
While most of us are still sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Remains a blue-lighted stain.
And I feel the sound... of digital silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone,
Despite the whole world on my phone.
Beneath the halo of a digital screen,
I‘ve seen things that can’t be unseen.
Then my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a distant war,
That happens on a distant shore.
And I’m lost... in the sound of digital silence.
And in the artificial light I saw,
A billion people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
Sharing clips they weren‘t seeking,
People liking things they‘d never dare to even feel,
While half of it‘s not even real.
And that‘s the sound... of digital silence.
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
How the seeds of anger grow.
Hear the truths that some might teach you,
Before the echo chamber eats you."
But my words like silent teardrops fell,
Into the bottomless digital well.
And the people bowed and prayed,
To the neon gods they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the data it was forming.
And the sign said: „The words of the prophets are locked
behind a paywalled gate“ while the lies will resonate,
In the sound... of digital silence.
