Freeze (Part IV of Fear) Lyrics
The city crouches, steaming
In the early morning half light
The sun is still a rumor
And the night is still a threat
Slipping through the dark streets
And the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs behind me
And my palms begin to sweat
Sometimes I freeze...until the light comes
Sometimes I fly...into the night
Sometimes I fight...against the darkness
Sometimes I'm wrong...sometimes I'm right
Coiled for the spring
Or caught like a creature in the headlights
Into a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero
The menace threatens, closing
And I'm frozen in the shadows
I'm not prepared to run away
And I'm not prepared to fight
I can't stand to reason
Or surrender to a reflex
I will trust my instincts
Or surrender to my fright
Sometimes we freeze...until the light comes
Sometimes we're wrong...and sometimes we're right
Sometimes we fight...against the darkness
Sometimes we fly...into the night
Blood running cold
Mind going down into a dark night
Of a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero
Sometimes I freeze
Sometimes I fight
Sometimes I fly
Into the night
In the early morning half light
The sun is still a rumor
And the night is still a threat
Slipping through the dark streets
And the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs behind me
And my palms begin to sweat
Sometimes I fly...into the night
Sometimes I fight...against the darkness
Sometimes I'm wrong...sometimes I'm right
Or caught like a creature in the headlights
Into a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero
And I'm frozen in the shadows
I'm not prepared to run away
And I'm not prepared to fight
Or surrender to a reflex
I will trust my instincts
Or surrender to my fright
Sometimes we're wrong...and sometimes we're right
Sometimes we fight...against the darkness
Sometimes we fly...into the night
Mind going down into a dark night
Of a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero
Sometimes I fight
Sometimes I fly
Into the night

Freeze explores the fine line between running away and/or standing up to encounter one's fear, otherwise known as the fight or flight response. Instrumentally, the song begins and ends sharply, without fade. Not being part of the original conception of Fear as a trilogy, it doesn't fit as cohesively with the other three pieces, but may be seen as an addendum or somewhat of an afterword.

It uses a very unorthodox 7/4 meter.
sticking with the tragedy Neil went through, i see this as describing the time when he was trying to decide what he was going to do after the tragedy. Is he going to find some reason for moving on or is he going to let it get the best of him and spiral downward.
Sounds more like Sweet Miracle to me.
