Allegaeon - Subdivisions Lyrics






Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights

Allegaeon Subdivisions Comments
  1. R.... W....

    Sick cover!! \m/

    Another metal band covered Rush’s “Limelight” but I can’t remember who, does anyone know??

    (heard it on Spotify)

  2. 4.... P....

    I can’t stop hitting the replay button... What a great cover!

  3. 4.... P....

    I can’t stop hitting the replay button... What a great cover!

  4. C.... D....

    I knew there was a reason I dug these guys!

  5. 6.... ....

    Do the whole album!!!!!🤟😆🤘

  6. P.... P....

    Just wanna say... Thank you. Wow.


    Edit: also: Bloodbath🤘

  7. M.... D....

    WOW. Huge rush fan and signals is one of the albums i find myself listening to more than the others as time passes. Excellent job and love your interpretation.

  8. N.... S....

    Un buen ejemplo de abusar del doble pedal y de los redobles en modo robot

  9. K.... R....

    Man. You can sing. I had no idea. More of this in your own style with this singing. Fantastic.

  10. M.... S....

    Why it seems they are rush-ing? Did you get it...anyone? No one?

  11. J.... T....

    Coming from a hardcore Rush fan and a smaller metal head, this cover is amazing. 11/10

  12. t.... c....

    Oh come on...

  13. w.... ....

    Wow! That was the first Rush song I have heard and this was like hearing it for the first time all over again!!

  14. M.... M....

    Overuse of double kick drum (to the point where it's hilarious) and typical ego-stroked guitarists dominating a mix without any real tonal differential . I bet they brick walled the hell out of this with compression.

    M.... M....

    You're a dumbass who's opinion won't ever amount to much of anything if that's genuinely what you think. If you're trolling, good job, you got me!

  15. L.... ....

    Excellent musicianship, guys!!!!!! Rush is NOT easy to play right, but you've done it while incorporating your own style. Major props.

  16. B.... M....

    Once again like Peart, the Atomic clocks were re-calibrated to this drum beat!! \m/

  17. C.... U....

    epic 🔥

  18. M.... T....

    omnium gatherum did a cover of "subdivisions" as well! i like listening to both of these covers back to back.

    M.... T....

    I love Omnium Gatherum, but their cover is just terrible

  19. m.... G....

    Awsome guys I think this is how the original should have been played haha

  20. O.... O....

    Awesome.

  21. s.... n....

    the song has died.

  22. o.... ....

    Badass!!! Love it!!!

  23. K.... H....

    PERFECTION!! LOVE THIS!

  24. C.... C....

    I see a Bloodbath shirt. Awesome cover fuck this is good.

  25. J.... B....

    That Kemper is loosing it's shit

  26. D.... J....

    DAFUQ? Nope not feeling this at all. I’ve been a guitar player for about 20 years and I love all kinds of guitar styles but I fucking hate the thrash guitar on this. It just doesn’t work with RUSH. Sorry guys I’m sure you’re great musicians but for me this isn’t it. Side note 3:28 bass player does a KILLER job with his part right before the chorus \m/

  27. E.... D....

    Hands down, its a masterpiece! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

  28. D.... J....

    I’m kinda digging the bass and the vocals but besides that...what the fuck

  29. J.... F....

    Fuck yes... Perfect...I love it

  30. c.... ....

    Garbage

  31. M.... S....

    Just about one of the best covers ever!

  32. J.... ....

    Probably never be a fan of this style of production, but the arrangement's great and stellar performances all around. Nothing bad to say.

  33. s.... ....

    Wow. Rush fan for some 40 years - best cover I've ever heard. Your work is simply stunning. I wish I were enough of a musician to appreciate what you're actually doing. Sounds bloody fantastic, anyway. Prolonged and sincere applause.

  34. T.... B....

    THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING !!!!!!!!!

    T.... B....

    Like -> Subscribe ... easiest decision all day

  35. J.... M....

    Beautiful cover!!

  36. D.... G....

    Absolutely killed it I'm not going to say but the cover is almost you know so good 😀

  37. D.... G....

    Perfect amount of comments

  38. -.... T....

    I love what the drummer is doing. Like the original, but with his own stuff in the right places. Nice mix for metal too.

  39. j.... y....

    Probably one of the best covers of all time.

  40. R.... T....

    This cover is absolute perfection, I've listened to it 20 times and I can't get enough. It is definitely better than the original and Rush is almost impossible to top. I can't wait to hear more covers from you guys!

  41. J.... M....

    Fuck yes

  42. m.... ....

    I was expecting a really shitty cover but, wow, this is a great cover =O

  43. I.... t....

    After dozens of times watching this video, I've begrudgingly been forced to admit that this is BY FAR the best cover of any song, of any genre, by any band,...
    Ever

  44. M.... G....

    Well done. Love it

  45. M.... M....

    I'm only just now appreciating what a great band this is.

  46. T.... B....

    Nice job guys well done cover

  47. H.... B....

    I have loved this song since 1986, and in my opinion this version is even better than the original. Well done.

  48. N.... A....

    Rush is my favorite band of all time and this gave me chills. Absolutely beautiful! I loved it!

  49. C.... ....

    Great version!

  50. J.... A....

    Amazing modern take on the song and I love the vocals and how it's so heavy! Great band!

  51. i.... ....

    Excellent - would love to see more RUSH covers from Allegaeon - not seen before -
    Any musicians who can preform at this level need better promotion and guidance ! This was a RUSH cover - not simple Beatles, Who or Rolling Stones stuff.... they have shown their pedigreed.

  52. J.... ....

    SCHOLARSHIP

  53. K.... D....

    Totally different with the original, this is modern Progressive rock. It's very good. Good luck guys.

  54. B.... H....

    :) nice

  55. q.... ....

    It's not perfect, but it's a lot more listenable then all the other attempts at rush covers ive heard

  56. u.... ....

    Best Rush cover I've ever heard. Awesome.

  57. A.... D....

    Bassist turns up to band practice one day with 2 extra strings. Guitarist ponders. Goes home. Next day...
    'By universal decree, there must be at least a two string differential between bass and lead guitar. I, thereby, in accordance with universal law, have purchased an axe with a number of strings [sub] divisible by the integer four. Weep heartily, inferior, bass-ic instrumentalist. Know thy place and never again dare to trespass in my kingdom'.

    Btw GREAT vocal

  58. C.... F....

    Perfection!!!

  59. N.... E....

    Pretty good cover. The vocals is what made it workZ there wasn’t any growling like in a lot of Metal songs. They hit it just right

  60. M.... T....

    Super impressive! I love the original and I was intrigued at the prospect of how you would approach a cover. You did it right. That rocks.

  61. M.... G....

    I like it - a great take on a classic!

  62. p.... ....

    I’m a diehard RUSH fan. At 51 they are still my favorite band. So I was skeptical to click... but these lads fuckin nailed the essence and soul of this beauty with precision chops.

  63. D.... L....

    Hate the guitar tone, especially at the beginning.

  64. d.... ....

    I love Rush. I love this song! I didn't think it could get better.... It just did.

  65. A.... R....

    All bs aside this song is epic makes the hairs stand up on my neck definitely going to my hall of fame

  66. R.... L....

    I just discovered this and you guys sound incredible! The angelic choir truly added something to it. One of the best covers I've heard in years. Keep it up!

  67. r.... h....

    What the actual fuck!!!! Best Rush cover ever. This song was haunting. The original haunted me in the early 80’s as I struggled in High School. This brought it all back...

    Fucking brilliant homage

  68. M.... R....

    Thank god no "death" metal vocals.

  69. k.... ....

    OMG what a superv cover of one of my favorite Rush's song.... Keep it up.

  70. D.... ....

    Awesome!

  71. D.... D....

    Excellent!

  72. E.... C....

    This is beyond awesome! Love this! <3

  73. R.... V....

    Excellent job guys!

  74. E.... S....

    this fucking rocks

  75. K.... G....

    The singer is the only good thing about this cover

  76. B.... T....

    I had no idea Elon Musk could jam so hard. I figured he was a Rush fan though.

  77. E.... C....

    This is beyond awesome! Love!!!

  78. J.... B....

    Badass!

  79. H.... M....

    Bad ass man

  80. b.... ....

    EPIC cover A+!!!!

  81. R.... O....

    Top notch Cover. Great Homage to Rush.

  82. J.... U....

    Not what I expected but I like it. The drums are really good! You're all good, but I like the drums especially.

  83. T.... G....

    143 people are tone deaf :/

  84. S.... ....

    This is so epic. And if I'm not mistaken, they used the original spoken "Subdivisions." Unbelievably cool. 50 year old Rush fan since around 1980.

  85. E.... J....

    Nice work - Great playing all round !

  86. g.... s....

    My only complaint is that they’re playing eight string guitars

  87. N.... C....

    I've heard alot of covers tonight. Been searching for them for some reason. From Skindred covering Electric Avenue to Carnifex covering The Heretic Anthem all the way to Powerman 5000 doing Whip It lol and all I've heard before. I discovered this on a comment from another cover video and I have to say this is officially the best and most amazing cover I have heard. It's beautiful heavier and a bit darker all while keeping the spirit and feel of the original. This is simply amazing.

  88. H.... H....

    Mir gefällt das Original zwar besser, aber dennoch ein sehr gelungenes Cover!

  89. R.... P....

    OK, I'm a fan now.

    R.... P....

    Riley, goosebumps. I am admired.

  90. G.... ....

    I can only stand the chorus.

  91. J.... W....

    Fantastic

  92. S.... M....

    I am a fan of the band but no one let me repeat NO ONE should try and cover rush

  93. T.... N....

    Drummer didn't do "the" ride pattern...

  94. M.... V....

    A-FUCKING-MAZING...

  95. J.... H....

    Nice job Guys!! Much harder than the original but you did it right!!!

  96. F.... ....

    I am erection!!!

  97. m.... ....

    My god i love this cover so much, you guys absolutely smashed it with this one, its perfect

  98. R.... P....

    What a surprize! Who ever knew Seth Rogan was such a good singer!

  99. C.... ....

    Great interpretative metal cover, guys!
