Simon & Garfunkel
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The night sets softly
2
With the hush of falling leaves,
3
Casting shivering shadows
4
On the houses through the trees,
5
And the light from a street lamp
6
Paints a pattern on my wall,
7
Like the pieces of a puzzle
8
Or a child's uneven scrawl.
9
Up a narrow flight of stairs
10
In a narrow little room,
11
As I lie upon my bed
12
In the early evening gloom.
13
Impaled on my wall
14
My eyes can dimly see
15
The pattern of my life
16
And the puzzle that is me.
17
From the moment of my birth
18
To the instant of my death,
19
There are patterns I must follow
20
Just as I must breathe each breath.
21
Like a rat in a maze
22
The path before me lies,
23
And the pattern never alters
24
Until the rat dies.
25
And the pattern still remains
26
On the wall where darkness fell,
27
And it's fitting that it should,
28
For in darkness I must dwell.
29
Like the color of my skin,
30
Or the day that I grow old,
31
My life is made of patterns
32
That can scarcely be controlled.
