CanEHdian Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Just between us, I think its time for us to realize The spaces in between, leave room, For you and I to grow. -One of my favorites- ENTRE NOUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Cities full of hatred Fear and lies Withered hearts And cruel, tormented eyes Scheming demons Dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude And scoffing at the wise Can't we raise our eyes And make a start Can't we find the minds To lead us closer to the Heart "A Farewell To Kings" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncos730 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Interesting thread. I do like Losing It. You'll probably get 300 responses and 300 different quotes! That's one of the beauties of Rush. I have always been partial to: They shoot without shame In the name of a piece of dirt (or oil..) Or a change of accent Or the colour of your shirt Better the pride that resides In a citizen of the world Than the pride that divides When a colourful rag is unfurled.. I was about 13 or so when this album came out and this had a pretty strong influence on my future social and political world views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Mine has, for a long time, been from Best I Can: You can tell me that I've got no class Look around let's see who's laughing last Don't give me speeches 'cos they're oh so droll Leave me alone let me rock'n'roll.'

GhostGirl Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 To you, is it movement or is it action? Is it contact or just reaction? And you...revolution or just resistance? Is it living, or just existence? Yeah, you! It takes a little more persistence To get up and go the distance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still have made a choice Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 madra sneachta- nice quote, i like that one too, but another one that catches my attention is: "all the worlds a stage, and we are mearly players, preformers, and portrayters.

When I was in High school I used to run to school 2.5 miles every day (uphill even in the snow, but not both ways) and I always listened to The Enemy Within before I left the house. What a powerful song, with great lyrics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margana Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 "We are immortal, for a limited time" from Dreamline. This sums up a lot of RUSH type lyrics - profound and in some ways contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ghaleon Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 "They sat a while in silence Then they turned at last to me. WE WILL CALL YOU CYGNUS THE GOD OF BALANCE YOU SHALL BE".

Evelate Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 If I really got to thinking about it, I could probably think of some lyrics that I like better, but for now I'm going with...

Mandalorian Hunter Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Nice one Boz Mine would be; "You don't get something for nothing." Classic and Mightily true. I also live by this one aswell; "Well I know they've always told you selfishness was wrong, Yet it was for me not you, I came to write this song." Thats life, it pays to keep people happy and be nice and caring, but at te same time, always have yourself as your main priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
