This song is about a spiritual experience. I guess even agnostics can have them. (I think Peart is an agnostic, anyway.) But anyone who has ever had his or her breath taken away by the stars on a dark night, or being in the presence of some natural wonder (like the red rock mountains of Sedona, AZ for example), can relate to the feelings expressed here.
And I disagree totally with the "no feeling" comment. This is one of the most heartfelt Rush songs I've ever heard.
I said it before, I'll say it again...Hold Your Fire is the best Rush album ever. The guys were at their peak when they did this one. Especially Geddy. His development and maturity as a singer reeally shined on this album. His bass playing was nothing to sneeze at, either.
