Translation:
One humanoid escapee
One android on the run
Seeking freedom beneath a lonely desert sun
Trying to change its program
Trying to change the mode -- crack the code
Images conflicting into data overload
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
SOS
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
In distress
1-0-0-1-0-0
Memory banks unloading
Bytes break into bits
Unit One's in trouble and it's scared out of its wits
Guidance systems break down
A struggle to exist
To resist
A pulse of dying power in a clenching plastic fist
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
SOS
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
In distress

It replays each of the days
A hundred years of routines
Bows its head and prays
To the mother of all machines
I can't wait to share this new wonder
The people will all see it's light
Let them all make their own music
The priests praise my name on this night
The people will all see it's light
Let them all make their own music
The priests praise my name on this night
I was really into Rush during the Fly By Night, Caress of Steel, and 2112 era.
This was shortly before I graduated from High School.
I remember playing the track "Lakeside Park" for my dad on my mighty B&O turntable, Sansui 5900, and Large Advent Walnuts in my bedroom, and at the end of the song, asking dad (a Barbershop singer) "isn't that great!?"
He had stood there and listened to the whole song, but then responded to me with a simple "no", and turned around and left the room.
A year and a half later I was playing in a classic country band, knowing nothing about that music before I started, and the call was: "Yeah I still have a bass, what you gonna play? ...um... ...really?... ...You're sh*ttin' me?... ...um... ...OK yeah I guess you're right, the people that listen to Merle Haggard probably do have more money than kids who listen to Rush... ...OK I'll give it a go...

BEST Setup I Ever Had: I posted a picture on Facebook of the new high efficiency washer and dryer I picked up at Sears. Guitarist friend commented that it looked like the backline for Geddy...
I replied that it "definitely echoed..."

Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw.

wait, eddie actually wrote that lyric? when did he ever bother writing lyrics?
OK fine, but sammy did sing,
"When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer
And I can't get my car out of second gear
What used to take two hours now takes all day
Huh, it took me 16 hours to get to L.A."
anyway,
"The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about you
I know it makes no difference
To what you're going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about you"
less "ayn rand from outer space" and more "regular normal parents worrying about their children".

Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies.
The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes.
He views all his lands and is already aware of the three helpless invaders
trapped in his lair...'

Just think about the average, what use have they for you?
Another toy that helped destroy the elder race of man,
Forget about your silly whim it doesn't fit the plan.

"Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco and the East
Fly by morning light"

This is more or less the "I love Neil Peart's lyrics" thread
