RUSH

- 2112 Lyrics

And the meek shall inherit the earth

We've taken care of everything the words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all and all for one we work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why

We are the priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within these walls
Look around at this world we've made equality our stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of man
Oh, what a nice, contented world let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand

We are the priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within these walls

What is the meaning behind 2112 lyrics?


When we check its meaning, Rush's '2112' is a musical critique of a dystopian world where the ruling power stifles creativity and individuality, represented by the Temples of Syrinx, while the lonely hero artist is still hoping for the rebirth of music as a glorious and life-giving force. 2112 lyrics mainly point out the social commentary, reflection, despair, angst and inspiration. The song was able to do all these while still highlighting the two opposing forces: on one side control and conformity, on the other side rebellion and individuality. The lyrics are threaded with the motifs of rebellion, control, and a dystopian setting, which can be considered rather strong for the little ones. Also, there are allusions to ancient miracles and the destruction of an elder race, which can be understood as adult themes.

Only posting part of 2112 dosent give it the magnitude it really has. Im going to try to post the full song. It is one of my favorites next to Hemispheres, The Camera Eye, and Xanadu.

It's clearly talking about one thing: the new world order. This was written decades ago, and it's happening right now before our eyes. I guess the band read the actual books written by the elite...

An absolute masterpiece. Rush doesnt just jam like other bands, its an art form to them. They rock like no band has rocked before! Spirit of the radio is one of the best songs EVER written!

My dad introduced Rush to me when I was 13, and 2112 was honestly life changing. I agree with you rick to no end on this subject.

2112 is by far the greatest album produced by any band in the history of rock and roll music. It is the epitomy of a masterpiece. No other band will ever come close, nor are they worthy.
