Rage Against Suburban Zombie-ism Saturday, March 12, 2011 "I Am A Rock" I never liked Simon & Garfunkel 'cause that was music that my mom listened to so I associated it with "old people music" and "hippie shit", performed by 2 Jews - 1 dwarf, the other with a goofy 'fro. The other day, however, I heard this song and that's when it occurred to me, the meaning of the lyrics. It actually sorta blew my mind. Here are the lyrics: A winter's day In a deep and dark December; I am alone, Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow. I am a rock, I am an island. I've built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain. I am a rock, I am an island. Don't talk of love, But I've heard the words before; It's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried. I am a rock, I am an island. I have my books And my poetry to protect me; I am shielded in my armor, Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no pain; And an island never cries. I wonder if anyone listened to this as a break-up song??
