Lyrics
A to B -- Different degrees... So much style without substance So much stuff without style It's hard to recognize the real thing It comes along once in a while Like a rare and precious metal beneath a ton of rock It takes some time and trouble to separate from the stock You sometimes have to listen to a lot of useless talk Shapes and forms against the norms -- Against the run of the mill Swimming against the stream Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme So much poison in power, the principles get left out So much mind on the matter, the spirit gets forgotten about Like a righteous inspiration overlooked in haste Like a teardrop in the ocean, a diamond in the waste Some world-views are spacious -- and some are merely spaced Against the run of the mill Static as it seems We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams Curves and lines -- of grand designs...

As one would expect, you either love or hate this band. This is a quintessential track from the trio that matches Lifeson's wall of guitar sound with Lee's frenetic bass lines complemented by Peart's complex drum fills and cerebral lyrics.
