Between The Wheels Lyrics

Cover art for Between The Wheels lyrics by Rush

When I left college after two years, my roommate gave me a copy of this song to remind me not to let the wheels of time pass me by.

The opening lines of this song bring to mind a person who has either become a TV junkie, living life through fiction, or so afraid of what is happening in the real would (on TV), they cut themselves off from society.

Life can go by so fast and seem overwhelming.
"What is my purpose?" "What should I do?" Do something. Anything. Don't just sit there.

The song seems to suggest everyone's imput is needed. As another Rush song says, "Get out there and rock, and roll the bones."
