Red Tide Lyrics

Cover art for Red Tide lyrics by Rush

Seems to be primarily about environmental destruction, but with a hint of sexual plague in the first verse. Note that the red tide gets worse in each verse, first 'kissing the shore', then 'washing ashore' and finally 'covers the shore'.

some very astute and intelligent comments there.....well done.

I've always liked this song, but never noticed the increasing intrusion of the red tide, as you pointed out. Nice work.
