Headlong Flight Lyrics
All the journeys of this great adventure
It didn't always feel that way
I whouldn't trade them
Because i made them
The best i could and that's enough to say
Some days were dark
I wish that i could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that i could live it all again
All the highlights
Of that headlong flight
Holding on with all my might
To what i felt back then
I wish that i could live it all again
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steered the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight,i learned to love and learned to feel
Oh, i wish that i could live it all again
All the tresures
The gold and glory
It didn't always feel that way
I don't regret it
I'll never forget it
I wouldn't trade tomorrow for today
Some days were dark
I wish that i could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that i could live it all again
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steered the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight,i learned to love and learned to feel
Oh, i wish that i could live it all again
(The days were dark
And the nights were bright
I would never trade tomorrow for today)
All the highlights
Of that headlong flight
Holding on with all my might
Some days were dark
I wish that i could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that i could live it all again
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steered the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight,i learned to love and learned to feel
Oh, i wish that i could live it all again
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steered the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight,i learned to love and learned to steal
Oh, i wish that i could
Oh, i wish that i could live it all again
It didn't always feel that way
I whouldn't trade them
Because i made them
The best i could and that's enough to say
I wish that i could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that i could live it all again
Of that headlong flight
Holding on with all my might
I wish that i could live it all again
Steered the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight,i learned to love and learned to feel
Oh, i wish that i could live it all again
The gold and glory
It didn't always feel that way
I don't regret it
I'll never forget it
I wouldn't trade tomorrow for today
I wish that i could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that i could live it all again
Steered the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight,i learned to love and learned to feel
Oh, i wish that i could live it all again
And the nights were bright
I would never trade tomorrow for today)
Of that headlong flight
Holding on with all my might
I wish that i could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that i could live it all again
Steered the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight,i learned to love and learned to feel
Oh, i wish that i could live it all again
Steered the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight,i learned to love and learned to steal
Oh, i wish that i could
Oh, i wish that i could live it all again

I think that the meaning of this song is pretty straight forward, in my opinion is about life, how you mold it the way you want and how you continue to live in this world despite the good things and bad things that happen. Neil had passed terrible things in his life, and he had surpassed all that by living in a different way, its like: Not matter what happens, life will goes on and you will have to learn how to deal with those things.
I'm getting elements of regret in this song. What was learned in life would bring greater joy if it could be used to re experience life in a way that utlized these lessons.
This song rules! One of their best. Great late-era hard rock / heavy metal from Rush. Surprised there's not more comments. Best when listened to loud "while angry or stoned" .
