| Rush – The Big Money Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I agree with smokler, it's about the growing importance of money, particularly in the music and television industry. "Big money weave a mighty web Big money draw the flies" Record and T.V producers lure in innocent talent with a promise of wealth and fame, but once they're in the web, they're "sucked dry", great imagery. Simply put: money makes the world go round. |

| Rush – Force Ten Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This might be just my interpretation, but I think it's about how we move rapidly through our lives, and all the intensity of our encounters with people and the world. With the chorus, i think it is intentionally slowed down. It asks us to be more introspective and observant, and take our time to appreciate things. Whenever the chorus plays, i feel like i'm standing in the eye of a hurricane, "looking around" at the temporary stillness, at all the chaos outwith. The reason I feel this is because of the title of the album on which "Force Ten" appears: "Hold Your Fire". And I think that since Neil Peart tends to have similar themes during an album, this one is about time, and taking the time to appreciate the stillness. Force Ten and Time Stand Still demonstrate this. |
