- Between The Wheels LyricsTo live between a rock and a hard place
In between time
Cruising in prime time
Soaking up the cathode rays
To live between the wars in our time
Living in real time
Holding the good time
Holding on to yesterdays
[Chorus]
You know how that rabbit feels
Going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by
Like windshields towards a fly
Frozen in the fatal climb
But the wheels of time
Just pass you by
Wheels can take you around
Wheels can cut you down
We can go from boom to bust
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets' red glare
Down to "Brother can you spare..."
Another war
Another wasteland
And another lost generation
It slips between your hands like water
This living in real time
A dizzying lifetime
Reeling by on celluloid
Struck between the eyes
By the big-time world
Walking uneasy streets
Hiding beneath the sheets
Got to try and fill the void
[Chorus]
In between time
Cruising in prime time
Soaking up the cathode rays
To live between the wars in our time
Living in real time
Holding the good time
Holding on to yesterdays
[Chorus]
You know how that rabbit feels
Going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by
Like windshields towards a fly
Frozen in the fatal climb
But the wheels of time
Just pass you by
Wheels can take you around
Wheels can cut you down
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets' red glare
Down to "Brother can you spare..."
Another war
Another wasteland
And another lost generation
It slips between your hands like water
This living in real time
A dizzying lifetime
Reeling by on celluloid
Struck between the eyes
By the big-time world
Walking uneasy streets
Hiding beneath the sheets
Got to try and fill the void
[Chorus]

When we try to interpret the meaning, the musical piece 'Between the Wheels' by Rush deals with the ups and downs of life through the use of the metaphor of being 'between a rock and a hard place.' The music suggests that the time is flying, and the signs of this are the perishable nature of dreams, the wars tolls, and the feeling of oscillating between prosperity and poverty. The words speak about a lack of power and exposure of one's skin where one has to live with the problems of society, the time, and the history repeating itself as well as the different generations suffering losses in the never-ending wars and so on. The whole thing comes down to despair, and so the lyrical content of 'Between the Wheels' is mainly despondency, reckoning, social commentary, and nostalgia reflected through the medium of angst. Simultaneously, the song puts forth the notion of struggle and conflict as well as time passing and disillusionment as its chief themes. The lyrics are full of themes of struggle and societal issues that might not be appropriate for little kids without the supervision of their parents. Nevertheless, it does not include any profanity, sexual content, or drug use.
