The meaning of this song is not too hard to figure out but the line that stands out to me is:
"And when the music stops, there's only the sound of the rain"
Neil Peart does such a beautiful job of creating metaphores that define the topic while also giving the listener a haunting visual to accompany it and this is a great example.
In any act of bravery or perseverence that is cut short , the "music" or struggle and anticiaption of success gives way to the dark saturating cloud of dissapointment.
"we will pay the price, but we will not count the costs"
There is always a price to pay in failure, but bravery does not recognize failure and to keep stock of those failures is ultimately a hinderance, thus we should not count those losses in order to allow us to psychologically push forward and ultimately achieve.
