I also very much enjoy the first track entitled "Subdivisions". The lyrics describe Society having different classifications. You are either popular, or a castout. you must give up all things worthwhile to you to enjoy the smallest of pleasures, such as friends. Neil Peart has yet again put into music he feelings of half the world. Alone. Divided. Shunned. Why? Because they simply didnt ive up their dreams for small desires. So i hope that as you read this, you decide to keep your dreams... no matter how bad the social cost will be. Sure, you wont be riding in the back of a convertible with two chicks by your side, but dont dwell upon it either.

Ah The Analog Kid. To me, the song is not so much about love, but about moving forward versus and staking your claim in life or staying behind for the familiar and comfortable.

First Stanza: metaphor for the flexibility (bending of tress in the wind/constant motion), even temper (hot and windy), and potential for great success (silver leaves) or failure (rocking in the breeze) that awaits analog kid if he pursues his 'nameless vision.'

Second Stanza: The use of 'quickens' could be related to 'quickening', which is described as the first time a mother can feel her fetus move. This occurs between 18 and 20 weeks generally. The kid in the song is probably around 18 to 20 years old. He feels that first sensation of wanting independence and success. Though he's not sure what his vision is, he's got something stirring in his soul driving him to want to pursue bigger things somewhere else.

Main Chorus: Only time he mentions being moved, it almost sounds like he's describing a city like New York or another metropolitan ocean front place and it's calling to him.

Third Stanza: The girl is on the edge of his dream, giving her less importance, but nonetheless, reminding him of what he'll leave behind. Her voice ringing in his ears, while sweet and nice to hear (like music of spheres) could be begging him to stay with her instead of pursue his dreams.

The hawk passing by as his mom calls out to him is his sign that it's time to strike out on his own. He ignores mom's call, and is beginning to grow and and possibly follow his amition.

I believe the last stanza pretty sums it all up.

subdivisions is SO good.
