Rush - Neurotica Lyrics






You just don't get it
What it is...well, you're not really sure
You move like you're walking on thin ice
Talking like you're still insecure

Time is a spiral...space is a curve
I know you get dizzy, but try not to lose your nerve
Life is a diamond you turn into dust
Waiting for rescue, and I know you just
Don't get it
You just don't get it

Neurotica...Exotica
It's just Erotica...Hypnotica
It's just Psychotica...Chaotica
It's just Exotica...Neurotica

You just don't get it
Baby, don't you ask yourself why?
If you don't like the answer...forget it
You know I hate to see you cry

Fortune is random...Fate shoots from the hip
I know you get crazy, but try not to lose your grip
Life is a diamond you turn into dust
Looking for trust, and I know that you just don't get it
You just don't get it

Snap!
Hide in your shell, let the world go to hell
It's like Russian roulette to you
Snap!
Sweat running cold, you can't face growing old
It's a personal threat to you
Snap!
The world is a cage for your impotent rage
But don't let it get to you
Snap!

Neurotica...Exotica
It's just Erotica...Hypnotica
It's just Psychotica...Chaotica
It's just Exotica...Neurotica

Rush Neurotica Comments
  1. E.... T....

    I love this but whoever engineered this mixed the kick drum waaay too loud

  2. Z.... ....

    Alex's solo saves this song from being one of the worst songs Rush ever did. I like Geddy but never cared much for his own background vocals

  3. H.... H....

    Never liked it
    Tried it again (after 10 years)
    Still don’t get it
    ... best thing are the lyrics

  4. c.... ....

    Ladies and Gents, Im on a" trip" listening to this whole album. OMG!! I had forgoten how a great album this is!!! Neurotica is great...One question, what is the sound at the end that causes Geddy to say "Stop!", way at the end of the fade

    c.... ....

    Thought he said "snap."

  5. T.... k....

    One of their worst songs, from a very disappointing album....

  6. T.... ....

    I keep coming back to this song, I really like it. Keeps playing in my head when I am at work!

  7. s.... k....

    That chorus reminds of Enrique Iglesias's "Tonight I Loving You"...

  8. D.... C....

    Yea I was 11 when this album came out and celebrated every single song. I was quite familiar with the previous albums yet my favorite album is definitely " Roll the Bones" and I have jammed it for all these years and basically it was the album of my day. But I had access to the early days of Rush with every cassette tape...you know the list. Fly by Night,Moving pictures,etc. Thanks if you read this.

  9. s.... m....

    "Fortune is random, fate shoots from the hip.."....brill!!!!

  10. J.... B....

    Such a unique sound nobody can match or even best.

  11. T.... ....

    Best Alex Lifeson solo?

  12. S.... S....

    My favorite song on 'Roll the Bones'. Great Engineering like the rest of the album, but a bit HEAVIER!!

    S.... S....

    the kick drum is mixed too loud

  13. R.... H....

    One of my all-time favorite RUSH tunes.

  14. C.... N....

    I like this and ghost of a chance in this album

    C.... N....

    What about roll the bones dude

  15. I.... t....

    This whole album has more of a alternative r&b vibe than rock. But still good though.

  16. M.... C....

    Kick Ass

  17. P.... L....

    Thank god Rush 'Rocked' up again after this and turned those amps up to 11 on the latter albums. 🙏

  18. b.... J....

    God I love this song

  19. M.... P....

    Is this a five string bass with chorus effect in the intro or a keyboard?

  20. s.... ....

    Well, this whole album seems like a big departure from the "synthesizer era" of the 80s, but it's still a great one. Not one song from Roll the Bones I don't like....

  21. M.... P....

    I love every song on this album!

  22. B.... J....

    the greatest geniuses in rock.

  23. R.... 2....

    You know, I never listened to Roll The Bones, the album fucking rocks. especially this song!

  24. g.... n....

    hypnotizing

  25. O.... R....

    you move like you're walking on thin ice

  26. O.... R....

    you move like you're walking on thin ice

  27. J.... W....

    Definitely RUSH's first experimental album, compared to there other album's before Roll the Bones.

  28. Y.... ....

    I like it but it is a strange song from a the "rap" album.

  29. N.... D....

    Om Skynet = Ville sandsyneligt blive aktiveret når Mads Hutters valgte ikke at spise 600 Fluphenazin Piller 1989
    Interesse
    Skynet is a fictional conscious, gestalt, artificial general intelligence (see also Superintelligence) system that features centrally in the Terminator franchise and serves as the franchise's main antagonist.
    Rarely depicted visually in any of the Terminator media, Skynet gained self-awareness (1989/1999/2001)

    "The world is a cage for your impotent rage... but don't let it get to you." ...what a rebuke!

  33. L.... ....

    This lyrics describes me

    L.... ....

    hydroxide

    L.... ....

    I have to be there for you and your friends and family members who have been in the past

  34. S.... ....

    You just don't Geddyt...

  35. N.... A....

    Underrated rush song

    N.... A....

    +Nicolas Acevedo I agree!

    N.... A....

    Their underrated songs have always been my favorite ones

    N.... A....

    Agree! I LOVE this song, one of my favorites on the album. Alex's guitar work is fantastic. This is Geddy's least favorite Rush song for some reason.

    N.... A....

    Every non-hit is an underrated Rush song.

  36. N.... t....

    geddy lee had an interview the other day, and he said he heard this song and thought to himself "what were we thinking?" "this is terrible" are you serious Ged? this song is so cool.

    N.... t....

    Geddy's just another hack critic i never listen to. He even thinks "Caress Of Steel" is a bad album. What would that amateur know anyway?

    N.... t....

    Nolan the Simmer ha

    N.... t....

    Ged is right, Rush has done tons better

    N.... t....

    the chorus is just a bad imitation of Hysteria

    N.... t....

    He was referring to the lyrics not to the music

  37. B.... E....

    That basssss

  38. B.... ....

    This is one of the best songs from RTB and is way too underrated.

    B.... ....

    +BionicleSaurus all of them r underrated....rush r underrated completely

    B.... ....

    +Rotario Rotatti So true...

    B.... ....

    I would LOVE to hear this live.

  39. M.... P....

    LOL, but to me this is their oldest new stuff.  This song is really good.  :)

  40. f.... ....

    too bad this song is musically interesting until you get to the choruse's, wich is the case with much of rush's song of that period.

    f.... ....

    Music critic wanabe ! Just a friendly reminder, .........there is nothing to criticize when it comes to musical PERFECTION.

    f.... ....

    good for you if this is perfection, i have the right to criticize without being a music journalist. it is called freedom of speech, live with it

    f.... ....

    My ears hear like yours, But I haven't put in the work on the post 85 albums to absorb the nuances maybe...

    f.... ....

    "Much of Rush's songs"

    Do you happen to have a chart or something to back up that claim? Just do two albums if you don't. Which period are you referring to?

    I agree this song is not that great, but there are other good songs from this album.

  41. v.... c....

    you just don't get it what it is

  42. R.... B....

    This album is a greatfull job.

  43. b.... ....

    Great Song

  44. C.... ....

    This is a good track.

  45. J.... T....

    I love this song..really needs air play

    J.... T....

    Bit late for that now, I guess. Hah.

  46. D.... ....

    Half of that sounds like Lifeson's R&R HOF acceptance speech!

  47. J.... S....

    What do you say? Obviously, it is not English! It does not make any sense to me, so please clarify your message in English

  48. J.... S....

    Thanks for your reply full of recognition! Since a couple of months, Rush is my most favorite rock band. I mostly admire the fact that their lyrics are not stereotypically tough at all, contrary to the average hardrockband. On Youtube interviews with Rush, they appeared to look natural, without any affected tough behavior. Combined with their philosophical lyrics, they have a kind of groundbreaking uniqueness in the rock world. What does Rush mean to you? Do they recall any precious memories?

  49. J.... S....

    Wow, this song has a inexplicable vibrancy in one of my unreachable heavens. Funny that this song is called Neurotica, because it doesn't sound like that at all, rather so profoundly but mellowly mystic!

  50. a.... ....

    I regret that they had never performed this one live, among many other great catchy songs, like Available Light, Cut to the Chase, Dog Years or The Color of Right, just to mention a few...

  51. M.... I....

    I love Rush...But this is one of their worst songs.

    M.... I....

    I agree. Even they couldn't hit the bullseye everytime.

  52. j.... ....

    You got that right!!!!!

  53. r.... c....

    Listen for STOP! at the end. )GED MEANS NO DISLIKES PLEESE!

  54. r.... c....

    Even if you don't like it - RUSH fans don't hit RUSH video dislike buttons? GED it?!?

  55. A.... W....

    If they play on the Clockwork Angels Tour, I will shit and jizz my pants.

  56. R.... P....

    Im gonna see them play this song live!!...when i die and go to heaven...

  57. T.... C....

    THIS IS EASILY FORGOTTEN BECAUSE OF EVERY ALBUM THAT FOLLOWED IN SUCCESSION..THE SAME THING HAPPENS..YOU GET WRAPPED UP IN THE LONG AWAITED NEWER ALBUM..THAT'S ALWAYS HAPPENED FOR ME SINCE HEMISPHERES...THE FEELING DOESN'T GO AWAY..I GOT TIRED OF AIR BASSING SO 9 YEARS AGO I WENT AND BOUGHT MY FIRST BASS, THEN A GEDDY LEE FENDER BASS....I ALMOST HALF GOOD AT HOLDING MY OWN NOW FOLLOWING GEDDY.... DO IT..IT'S WORTH THE TIME AND INVESTMENT..ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL THE AIR BANDING THROUGH THE 80S

  58. C.... K....

    "It's just Hypnotica!" The first time I played this CD in my car deck player.....it was just addictica....
    WOW, what a totally incredible album; there are so many hidden treasures within! F'n R U S H is
    second to none! What a POWER trio !

  59. p.... ....

    It's always been there, just waiting for you to find it, which you did. This album and Presto are underrated, they are full of "hidden gems" Peace.

    p.... ....

    This is absolutely true. Available Light is one of those songs, as is Scars

  60. P.... ....

    Yikes.. Randomly came across this song, glad I did!!! Great song!!

  61. J.... L....

    I could easily imagine one of those huge oversized church organs playing in this. BTW,
    GEDDaY to you all!!!!!

  62. n.... ....

    SIMPLY ORGASMIC!

    Whew. I was in another universe just now @ 3:23 min

    What a ride!

  63. n.... ....

    Holy s**t!! Where has this been hiding? Another one of those hidden gems from the best band in the world.

    n.... ....

    Nailed it! Good comment.

  64. L.... W....

    Yet another Rush song that speaks deep to the heart of relationships..

  65. C.... C....

    long live RASH!

  66. B.... A....

    Awesome name for your channel!!

  67. b.... ....

    Your adopted?

  68. b.... ....

    No the Far Cry riff sounds a lot like :33

  69. a.... ....

    I clicked on this thinking it was reckless tortuga, dammit

  70. C.... ....

    How could *anyone* not like Rush??

  71. C.... ....

    it's just neurotica...marijuanica!

  72. L.... A....

    @DantePierotti29 @TheBgaddy Actually he has recorded with a 5 string bass several times but never plays it live. The parts live are an octave higher or he's in drop D.

  73. A.... M....

    OOOOO NEAUROTICAA...Used to be my favorite off RTB

  74. d.... m....

    psychotica....gin and tonica!!!!

  75. M.... L....

    song of my life...

  76. J.... L....

    Sounds to me as if this was inspired by Hitchcock's VERTIGO. Well, anyway Rush did a sociology song in the past ( Subdivisions ) and now they came up with a nifty psychology song. As usual, Rush may be the only band to pull it off with flying colors.

  77. c.... b....

    is the bass in drop-D?

  78. T.... ....

    man, getting back into this song again..

  79. M.... ....

    would enjoy having everyday glory uploaded

  80. n.... b....

    The riff at 0:33 sounds a lot like the Far Cry riff. any other rushians notice that?

  81. M.... P....

    I still feel a bit embarrassed about how I feel as if this is the band's "new album". I think I lost in it some way....but why worry, after all I'm the same woman who occasionally asked a neighbor in the apartment complex I lived in, "If you come across part of my mind that I seem to have lost, pick it up and bring it to me, would you?"

  82. A.... M....

    Such a jam! Oooooooooooooooooo its just neurotica

  83. C.... R....

    Best song on album/cd!

  84. s.... ....

    @grevejp44 I would assume you bother to actually think

  85. m.... ....

    Mr. 23,999!

  86. x.... ....

    I feel in love with this song at 0:00 - 0:02! That is the coolest sound EVER!!!

  87. T.... ....

    THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE FLAGGED !!! Due to the FACT ! That Alex Lifeson is just too good a guitar player, and yes, I'm bitter about that...G...

  88. E.... ....

    Rush is one of the best bands ever

  89. R.... M....

    1 person just doesn't get it.

  90. N.... ....

    you just don't get it

  91. b.... ....

    @heretoforeandnow I too miss that polished sound in the later albums. However I have to say that no album has come close to the sonic power that Presto had. Every sound was in your face and just alive.

    In RTB they started losing some of that. I wonder if it was conscious to suit the more mellow sound of the songs.

  92. F.... L....

    One of the best from these MONSTERS OF PROGROCK give me a WHOLELOTICA more

  93. d.... ....

    Guitar Solo is amazing

  94. b.... ....

    @osar2009 This is my favorite from "Roll The Bones," too.

  95. T.... ....

    @megabluealpha I'll get that one up for you soon my friend. Been a very busy month in the real life so I haven't had a chance to add any more, or any requests. Soon though!

  96. J.... C....

    Would really love to have "Face Up" uploaded. I couldn't find the studio version here.

  97. J.... C....

    Finally! Thanks for uploading it!
