Face Up Lyrics

Your turn my head
I spin my wheels
Running on empty --
You know how that feels

I'm on a roll now --
Or is it a slide?
Can't be too careful
With that dangerous pride
If I could only reach that dial inside
And turn it up

FACE UP -- Or you can only back down
FACE UP -- Hit the target or you better hit the ground
FACE UP -- There's still time to turn the game around
FACE UP -- Turn it up --
Or turn that wild card down
Turn it up!

Don't complain
Don't explain
I don't think my new resolve
Can stand the strain

I'm in a groove now
Or is it a rut?
I need some feedback
But all the lines are cut
I get so angry, but I keep my mouth shut
And turn it up

You get all squeezed up inside
Like the days were carved in stone
You get all wired up inside
And it's bad to be alone

You can go out, you can take a ride
And when you get out on your own
You get all smoothed out inside
And it's good to be alone
Turn it up

Really, this is just about Roll The Bones main theme.

Take chances. Maybe you get unlucky, but you can still change that. And it seems that a major part of it is to control your emotions. You're not going to get anywhere by complaining. So just keep taking chances till you win.

This is actually the only Rush song I like lol I think it'd be an amazing song to put during the credits/intro of like a Nightmare on Elm Street type horror film. Great song. Just makes ya feel really good, and reminds me of the 80's

Track #4 from Roll The Bones CD released in '91. The shortcut answer would be manic depression but it's deeper than that. Introspection, finding courage in life, accepting one's limits, personal growth and discovery.

Love it, we all want to same something but we're taught from birth to shut up and just put it with it.

Love these lines:

"I'm in a groove now Or is it a rut? I need some feedback But all the lines are cut."
