The song "The Sound of Silence (Live)" by Disturbed (Ft. Myles Kennedy) is a reflective song that speaks to the idea that many people in a crowded world are often silent and go unheard. The chorus serves as a reminder to take time to really listen, to go out of your way to reach people, and to share what words of wisdom you have. The message is to speak up and make yourself heard, to not be ignored or taken for granted. The narrator talks of a vision where the silence is cancerous, and the only way to break it is to reach out and communicate. He speaks of prophets whose words are often silenced and ignored, but need to be heard. In the end, the chorus implores us to make ourselves heard, as no one will be there to save us in the "sound of silence".
