Rush - Freeze Lyrics






The city crouches, steaming
In the early morning half light
The sun is still a rumor
And the night is still a threat
Slipping through the dark streets
And the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs behind me
And my palms begin to sweat

Sometimes I freeze...until the light comes
Sometimes I fly...into the night
Sometimes I fight...against the darkness
Sometimes I'm wrong...sometimes I'm right

Coiled for the spring
Or caught like a creature in the headlights
Into a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero

The menace threatens, closing
And I'm frozen in the shadows
I'm not prepared to run away
And I'm not prepared to fight

I can't stand to reason
Or surrender to a reflex
I will trust my instincts
Or surrender to my fright

Sometimes we freeze...until the light comes
Sometimes we're wrong...and sometimes we're right
Sometimes we fight...against the darkness
Sometimes we fly...into the night

Blood running cold
Mind going down into a dark night
Of a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero

Sometimes I freeze
Sometimes I fight
Sometimes I fly
Into the night

  5. C.... H....

    Loved the vocals tones on this one ! 😍

  6. B.... o....

    This such a super track, fits perfectly into the Fear trilogy or would that be a quadilogy? Am i wrong in saying that some of Alex's best solos are when he doesn't actually solo just fleshes out his sound... Anyone?

    I’m a drummer but this album stands way above the rest of theirs in terms of absolute properties of perfection and angsts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. J.... A....

    This song is addictive. Fn A

    I'm not sure I've heard another Rush album with Geddy put such a great effort into his vocals, he sounds great like back in the 70s again

  9. A.... F....

    I love this song and music alot.. but I fucking love Neil's lirycs
    They've helped me through bad times..

    A.... F....

    Me too...

    I wish Vapour Trails got more attention from Rush. They only performed 5 songs out of 13 from this album, making it the least played album in terms of consistency with full albums. As much as I love this song with it being one of my absolute favourite Rush songs, I knew there was very little to no chance that it would be played, due to how powerful Geddy had to sing it on studio, let alone live.

  11. J.... L....

    Also one of my favorites on this album to mix animal behavior in to a fear trilogy is brilliant

  12. B.... M....

    Ah Vapor Trails, the album that began the new era were Rush ceased to be Rush and morphed into a bizarre mix of Yes, Primus and Dream Theater. I miss Rush. Teardrop....😥

    B.... M....

    Bohemian MGTOW I unlike everyone else think they had their abosolute best in the 80's with the lush synths Neil's Writing and Alex's tones

    B.... M....

    Power Windows is my personal favorite album by them. Honestly, they're all great. Vapor Trails and Counterparts are both pretty underrated imo

    B.... M....

    You say 'a mix of Yes, Primus and Dream Theater' as if that's a bad thing.

    B.... M....

    eat a dick

  13. B.... ....

    this may be the best entry into the fear series

    B.... ....

    That's saying something considering that they're all great songs especially Witch Hunt and The Enemy Within

  14. d.... ....

    Would be awesomely amazing if Rush played the entire Fear series live.... I-IV

    d.... ....

    I've seen them play 1-4

    +John Michael Lee when?

    Alex's guitar sound is incredible in this song! So 'heavy', in the true sense! Great overtones too!

    A.... ....

    AudiophileTubes His heaviest, ever. Fuggin, masterpiece!

  20. N.... ....

    Great song... I love the "Fear" series... Actually, I look at all the 4 songs as only one big song, kinda like 2112. Rush is truly amazing.
