Rush – Spindrift Lyrics 18 years ago
The song isn't about a romantic relationship. If you read the essay Neil wrote, it says that on this album, when 'you' is used, it refers to humanity as a whole. To quote:

"The addressee, though, is not a 'significant other', but a significant proportion of the whole, wide world."

Jethro Tull – Thick as a Brick (Parts 1 & 2) Lyrics 20 years ago
This isn't a song about nothing. The 'story' behind the song about a 12-year-old writing was made up to illustrate the song's meaning.

It's sort of a mix between a play and a fable, with the moral(s) being:

Never blindy follow anyone else, especially if they say they know better than you, because they most likely don't. Think for yourself.

Take responsibility for your own life and actions; God (or anybody else) won't save you from your own stupidity or ignorance.
