i just realized this changes the lyrics at the end of the song last verse.
OG version last lyrics is as follows.
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence"
it's actually not a bad variation of the lyrics, it comes off as diffrent but leaves a powerful message.
Alienation and Isolation: The narrator speaks to "darkness," symbolizing loneliness and introspection, highlighting a world where true communication has faded. Superficiality vs. Meaning: Images like the "neon light" and "neon god" criticize consumerism and mass media, suggesting people worship shallow, artificial values instead of seeking truth or depth. Failed Communication: "People talking without speaking / Hearing without listening" captures the emptiness of modern dialogue—plenty of noise, but no real understanding. Ignored Wisdom: The final lines—“The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls / And tenement halls”—imply that meaningful messages are still present but ignored, relegated to forgotten spaces. Ultimately, the "sound of silence" represents the void left when authentic human connection is lost—a silence that grows like a cancer, unbroken by honest words or empathy.
people in the comment section of this video were saying this is what they wish disturbed made it like this because what they released was meh..., i mean i like the OG song too, but i think this just comes across as more epic, the OG song i fall asleep to, this i rock along with it, i'm suddenly engaged and awake.

i forgot about this style of power metal, it's kind of soul but metal, it sounds really cool and epic to listen to.
