Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

“Wheels can take you around.
Wheels can cut you down.
We can go from boom to bust.
From dreams to a bowl of dust.
We can fall from rockets' red glare, down to "Brother can you spare…"
Another war.
Another wasteland.
And another lost generation
-- Between The Wheels (1984)”

Rush Lyrics

“I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery
-- Cygnus X-1, Book One; The Voyage (1977)”

“I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate, Are the liberators here?
Do I hope or do I fear?

Rush Lyrics

“Like a steely blade in a silken sheath
We don't see what they're made of
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove
They live for the things they're afraid of

And the knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them…

A symptom of life
In mental and environmental change
Atmospheric disturbance
The feverish flux
Of human interface and interchange
-- Vital Signs (1981)”

Rush Lyrics

Laughed at by time, tricked by circumstances,
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose,
The more that things change, the more they stay the same.

I'm not giving in
I'm not missing out
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams
