Freeze is a song that I love but has made me wonder why the band made the choice to go with Geddy singing the "Do do do do do" part of what I would call the pre-chorus or bridge to the chorus. It seems they could have combined the 2 versions to have less of the melodic "do do do' part. also maybe take out some of the "like"s It would read: Coiled for the spring Or caught like a creature in the headlights (Thrown) Into a desperate panic or a tempest of blind fury Blood running cold Mind going down into a dark night (Am I the) cornered beast or a conquering hero? Give it a try in your mind. Here's the whole thing... The city crouches, steaming In the early morning half-light The sun is still a rumor And the night is still a threat Slipping through the dark streets And the echoes and the shadows Something stirs behind me And my palms begin to sweat Sometimes I freeze, until the light comes Sometimes I fly, into the night Sometimes I fight, against the darkness Sometimes I'm wrong, sometimes I'm right Coiled for the spring Or caught like a creature in the headlights Thrown Into a desperate panic Or a tempest of blind fury Blood running cold Mind going down into a dark night Am I a cornered beast Or a conquering hero? The menace threatens, closing And I'm frozen in the shadows I'm not prepared to run away And I'm not prepared to fight I can't stand to reason Or surrender to a reflex I will trust my instincts Or surrender to my fright Sometimes we freeze, until the light comes Sometimes we're wrong, and sometimes we're right Sometimes we fight, against the darkness Sometimes we fly, into the night Coiled for the spring Or caught like a creature in the headlights Thrown Into a desperate panic Or a tempest of blind fury Blood running cold Mind going down into a dark night Am I a cornered beast Or a conquering hero? Sometimes I freeze Sometimes I fight Sometimes I fly Into the night i clearly have too much time on my hands.
