Wall of Silence, a song for pandemic times

 

The song Wall of Silence of October Project can push 

someone deeper into the strange meanings of these pandemic times.

The pandemic came from nowhere 

to make life "touches us with pain."

and people needed to detach from one another,

and we became strangers to others and to ourselves.

Even with the internet and mobiles,

it became “hard to talk these days” as before

And we ask, "what happens along the way."

and "what caused us to turn away…."

Maybe the pandemic is "a wall of silence,"

“a wall between us holding back our loss."

And how many people lost their lives and we lost those people,

and so one as another could say, "How did I lose you," 

so many people that are gone

and we don’t know how many more.

Wall of Silence of October Project is a song for pandemic times

to think about life.
