RUSH

- The Anarchist Lyrics

Will there be world enough in time for me to sing that
song?
Are they so silent for someone alone?
For all the years I had to get along,
They told me I belonged.
I never wanted to belong!
I was so strong!

[Chorus]
I lack their smiles and their diamonds;
I lack their happiness and love;
I envy them for all those things
I never got my fair share of,
My fair share of...

The lenses inside of me that paint the world black,
The pools of poison the scarlet mist that's billowed
into rage,
The things I've always been denied:
An empty promise that somehow died;
A missing part of me that goes around me like a cage,
A missing part of me that goes around me like a cage.

Failed all your science,
All the minds
Seeking blind
Through flesh and bone.
Find the blood inside this stone!
Well, I know I've never shown
What I feel I've always known.
I'll claim my vengeance on my own!
Well, I was always alone.
I'd like me smiles in a diamond;
I'd like me happiness in love.
I'd like me all those things
I'd never got my fair share of, my fair share of...

The lenses inside of me that paint the world black,
The booze of boys in the scarlet mist that's billowed
into rage,
The things I've always been denied:
An empty promise that somehow died;
A missing part of me that goes around me like a cage,
A missing part of me that goes around me like a cage.

[Finale]
Oh, they try to get me home...
Oh, they'll never forget me...

The lenses inside of me that paint the world black,
The booze of boys in the scarlet mist that's billowed
into rage,
The things I've always been denied:
An empty promise that somehow died;
A missing part of me that goes around me like a cage,
A missing part of me that goes around me like a cage,
A missing part of me that goes around me like a cage.

What is the meaning behind The Anarchist lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Rush's 'The Anarchist' discerns a myriad of emotions such as isolation, envy, and the sensation of being either misunderstood or unappreciated. The fight with the society's norms and the longing for what others have so easily, represented by 'smiles,' 'diamonds,' and 'happiness,' are all by 'The Anarchist' lyrics. 'A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage' is used as a metaphor to describe a very emotional prison and the protagonist's internal conflict, which illustrates the sense of being trapped and the desire for either freedom or self-realization attached to it. The Anarchist lyrics predominantly focus on the issues of angst, solitude, heartbreak, despair, and reflection. In the same breath, the song points to the necessity of isolation and loneliness, envy and longing, and rage and denial. There are issues of personal struggle, envy, and emotional pain in the lyrics which may not be appropriate for kids below 13 years. The allusions to rage and denial might be very strong, thus a PG-13 rating for mature themes is suggested.
