| | Losing It Lyrics Artist(Band):Rush
In pain and desperation, Her aching limbs and downcast face Aglow with perspiration Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire, With just the briefest pause The flooding through her memory, The echoes of old applause. She limps across the floor And closes her bedroom door... The writer stares with glassy eyes Defies the empty page His beard is white, his face is lined And streaked with tears of rage. Thirty years ago, how the words would flow With passion and precision, But now his mind is dark and dulled By sickness and indecision And he stares out the kitchen door Where the sun will rise no more... Some are born to move the world To live their fantasies But most of us just dream about The things we'd like to be Sadder still to watch it die Than never to have known it For you, the blind who once could see The bell tolls for thee...

Review about Losing It I Get it Now | Reviewer: Scott H. | 10/28/09 I first heard this song when I was still in high school. I didn't fully understand it then, but now as I grow older myself I feel this song with a depth I never expected. I often find myself quoting the "writer" section to myself as I go about many of my daily tasks. I can truly identify. Scott Losing it in Review | Reviewer: Randy Gully | 7/28/09 I must admit seeing Rush for over 20 Concerts + ,,this song is one of those you just "Dream about" and Vision "What if" ... I have been involved with Rush's Music since 1977 and have seen the Signals concert and the Hard Rockers they have always been ,it just goes to show there divercity in Lyrics and music ..When my time comes as it will be for many ...** this will be the only Rush song that will be in the collage to grace my pier's and give presence to the man who once was ... Yes i admit ...at 48 I listen , work, and play with the music of Rush surounding me and when ever I hear this one in particular I always Feel the Pain in the song ...Neil is no master as he admits ... He is actually a F*$&^ Genius ... you hear a Rush song and Dam it if it doesn't come up in Future view in the news... Yes one of my favourites out of 20 + albums and one I pray one day they do ....Live .. Clarification for Mr. Daehsinep | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/21/08 TheN foolding through my memory is perhaps the best clarification. Clearly the writer was reaching and striving for more, as in climbing the "writer stairs"........Or perhaps, it is best to read the liner notes from the published album. :) One of their best | Reviewer: Helvete | 3/19/08 Too bad they'll never play it live. This song came this close to having me in tears. Ernest Hemingway, one of the saddest historical figures. Yet made great stories. I forever salute him, and of course, Rush. May both live on forever. Clarification for Mr. Andrino | Reviewer: Jack Daehsinep | 8/22/07 From a literary and grammatical standpoint you are quite correct; however, having said that you must take Mr. Peart's poetic view into context. The word "writer" used in this sense is actually an adjective, and the word "stare" is used in the noun sense (ie; thousand yard "stare"). I hope that this helped to clarify things. JD Almost Perfect | Reviewer: Ed Andrino | 4/5/07 You have written here The writer stare with glassy eyes the word stare should be stares The writer stares with glassy eyes. Poor writer. Other than that it's flawless.
