Weakly Criminal Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Not too bad an effort, but did you just get dumped by your girlfriend or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsey Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Good poem, bad topic. Songs about love and women make me uncomfortable. Though I've never heard the songs (just read the lyrics), I want nothing to do with 'War Paint' and 'Cold Fire' for similar reasons... Maybe that's what's so appealing about Rush's first few albums; not so much life and love fluff. Sci-fi/fantasy songs beat relationship songs any day!

A failed one if you ask me It's not great poetry but is an interesting exercise that says more about Psionic than it does about Rush, IMO. Here's my take on it, which may reveal more about ME than about Rush : I'm comin' out to get you I'm runnin', finding my way back home It makes you feel so good... So good Well, do you see, can't you see, what I'm feeling? Hey, now, baby Well, I like your smile I'm just tryin' to make these good times I'm tryin' to make it last I just want to rock and roll you woman Until the night is gone But I really need to Have you by my side I tasted the answers and my body was weak For you I long to turn my path homeward To stop a while with you Your love has shown me proof Things that I once dreamed of Have become reality All at once, the clouds are parted Light streams down in bright unbroken beams... Even joined in bonds of love We're linked to one another All there really is The two of us I feel the sense of possibilities p.s. Chelsey, these lyrics all come from 1982 and before - my favorite era of Rush music too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Psionic's effort, but I certainly didn't use all of them! I just went to AZLyrics.com, opened up the Rush catalog, and started copying random lines from the songs. In album order. In song order on the album. I got tired after Signals so quit there. I put absolutely NO creativity into this at all - no moving stuff around, no picking and choosing, nothing. Just to prove a point, actually! No offense to Psionic (I actually admire you deeply, Psi, you know that! ) but wanted to illustrate the fact that one can extract ANYTHING they want from a series of lyrics. Not disturbing at all, since no thought went into it. Now, if I'd obsessed and picked through stuff and read anything into either Neil's words or my effort, that WOULD be disturbing!
