Lock And Key Lyrics

Cover art for Lock And Key lyrics by Rush

I find this tune a little puzzling. It almost seems like they are saying that keeping our primal urges to kill under control is a BAD thing.

Perhaps it's just a reminder that those impulses are there, and we need to be on the look-out for them surfacing. That seems lame, (especially for Rush), so it's got to be something else. That's why I came to this page, hoping someone had some insight on it. Oh well!

Still a great tune. Hold Your Fire is, in my opinion, Rush's greatest album.
