I disagree with Geddy Lee when he said it was ponderous and missed the mark. progtopten.blogspot.com cheers, Mark.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514267486746083195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611331519679133864.post-18641010014270997402020-02-18T17:24:18.820-05:002020-02-18T17:24:18.820-05:00I LOVE CARESS OF STEEL!!!

The imagery and meaning behind each verse almost puts me in the headspace of this person. Every time I listen to Part IV, all I can picture is an old man surrounded by his loved ones as he lies on his death bed. "The key, the end, the answer" verse always has me thinking about how that old man will finally know what happens when you pass. He's obviously overwhelmed with the thought of passing on, but at the same time he's finally given the answer to one of life's biggest questions. He's sad to leave every one he loves, but he now knows that, like the Old Sol', he too will be coming back again. This might be a very loose interpretation of it, but it's just how I've always perceived that scene. <br /><br />Oh and a great analysis as well. I was listening to the song as I was reading through this, and I would have to say that your explanation of each verse was amazing. Very well written and well executed. 10/10Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415596724366865809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611331519679133864.post-79996748607002879162017-07-17T13:05:30.989-04:002017-07-17T13:05:30.989-04:00It seems like each song speaks of "drugs"...It seems like each song speaks of "drugs" that a person takes throughout his life. Think about it: a mother's milk, wine, opiates. No One at the Bridge: taking an acid trip but your friends don't stick around.
