Sounds of Silence meaning?

Sounds of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel meaning?

I know this question has been asked many times before.. But I was wondering if it was about Escapism which is detachment from the difficulties of the times?

Since it was written after the assassination of JFK I was wondering if Escapism would be a good theme for this song?

Please help! :) Thank you in advance!

    I think it's about the silence that follows after the death of a loved one.
