Blue J Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Well, I guess we all have these feelingsWe can't leave unreconciledSome of them burned on our ceilingsSome of them learned as a child The things that we're concealingWill never let us growTime will do its healingYou've got to let it go 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Spirits fly on dangerous missionsImaginations on fireFocused high on soaring ambitionsConsumed in a single desire In the grip of a nameless possessionA slave to a driving obsessionA spirit with a vision Is a dream with a mission 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLountainofFamneth Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 I love Vapor Trails lyrics and they are some of the best, but I left out Far Cry. Far cry is well written Does anyone else believe the space ship in countdown was the Rocinate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far cry is well written Does anyone else believe the space ship in countdown was the Rocinate. I don't think that can be, no- they have said for a long time that the lyrics to Countdown refer to the maiden launch of the space shuttle program, in 1981- which they witnessed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 A simple kind of mirrorTo reflect upon our ownAll the busy little creaturesChasing out their destinies But living in thier pools,They soon forget about the sea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks for the info, I messed up badly. No worries- I didn't actually know that myself until a couple of years ago. But evidently they said as much in interviews a long time back, and just in reading the lyrics, it's pretty apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament,Another day's useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, Lonely man cries for love and has none.New mother picks up and suckles her son, Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold hearted orb that rules the night,Removes the colours from our sight. Red is grey and yellow white. But we decide which is right.And which is an illusion? WAIT, I'm Now being told this was NOT written by Neil Peart.....carry on :wub: Edit: Now I had to go listen to the song and fly back 47 years in time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IAjGdmFKf8E Edited November 22, 2016 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 How It Is: "You can't tell yourself not to care / You can't tell yourself how to feel / That's how it is." The Way the Wind Blows: "Like the solitary pine / On a bare wind-blasted shore / We can only grow the way the wind blows in our elemental war." Mission: "It's cold comfort / To the ones without it / To know how they struggled / How they suffered about it." The Pass: "No hero in your tragedy / No daring in your escape / No salutes for your surrender / Nothing noble in your fate / Christ, what have you done?" BU2B: "The joy and pain that we receive each comes with its own cost / The price of what we're winning is the same as what we've lost." Tai Shan: "I thought of time and distance / The hardships of history / I heard the hope and the hunger / When China sang to me." Secret Touch: "You can never break the chain / There is never love without pain." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratmagic Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I don't consider any Rush lyrics deep, but a few of them speak to me more than others. "I'm not the only soul accused of hit and run. Tire tracks all across your back - I can, I can see you had your fun." Can't recall the song... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewWorldScott Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) The one Rush lyric I have always loved, quoted, and adhered to is the "I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend" lyric from "Limelight." Simple, true, effective, and deep. Edited November 24, 2016 by NewWorldScott 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Barchetta Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 "In a dog's life, a year is really more like seven...and all too soon, a canine will be chasing cars in doggie heaven!" Seems to me, as I make my own few circles round the sun, we get it backwards, and lyrics don't get deeper than this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
