Sound of silence 1

"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence"

What does 'vision' mean?

Thanks

com" The gentleman who wrote this is Matt. I feel he puts the explanation of the song by Simon and Garfunkel better than I could have. The song sound of silence is a lyric that uses imagery and symbolism very heavily.
