Vital Signs
Rush Lyrics

Unstable condition
Life is an unpredictable journey full of ups and downs.

A symptom of life
Uncertainty and unpredictability are just a part of being alive.

In mental and environmental change
Changes in our minds and surroundings can contribute to this instability.

Atmospheric disturbance
The chaos and disarray of life and the world around us.

The feverish flux
The constant and frenzied changes that we experience on a daily basis.

Of human interface
The interaction and communication between people.

And interchange
The exchange of emotions, ideas, and thoughts between individuals.

The impulse is pure
Our intentions are often good and driven by a desire for progress and change.

Sometimes our circuits get shorted
Occasionally our plans and ideas get disrupted by external factors outside of our control.

By external interference
Outside influences can affect our goals and disrupt our progress.

Signals get crossed
Miscommunication and misunderstandings can lead to confusion and conflict.

And the balance distorted
The harmony and equilibrium between individuals can be disrupted.

By internal incoherence
Internal struggles and disorganization can hinder progress and prevent success.

A tired mind become a shape-shifter
Exhaustion can cause our thoughts and emotions to change and become unpredictable.

Everybody need a mood lifter
We all need something that can cheer us up and improve our mood.

Everybody need reverse polarity
Sometimes we need to change our perspective and see things from a different angle to achieve progress.

Everybody got mixed feelings
People often have conflicting emotions or thoughts.

About the function and the form
The concept of what is right or wrong in relation to functionality and appearance can be subjective.

Everybody got to deviate
It is necessary to break away from traditional ways of thinking to achieve something new.

From the norm
To do something differently from the usual or expected way.

An ounce of perception
A small amount of awareness and understanding can go a long way.

A pound of obscure
A lot of confusion or uncertainty can hinder progress and prevent success.

Process information
To analyze data and consider its meaning and importance.

At half-speed
To take your time and approach things at a slower pace to increase accuracy and effectiveness.

Pause
To take a break or temporary cessation from activities.

Rewind, replay
To revisit past events or situations in order to process or learn from them.

Warm memory chip
To recall happy and nostalgic memories to lift your spirits and improve your mood.

Random sample
To take a small and diverse selection of data or ideas to consider from multiple perspectives.

Hold the one you need
To focus on and prioritize the most important things.

Leave out the fiction
To focus on the truth and reality of a situation.

The fact is
The truth of a situation is undeniable.

This friction
The difficulties and challenges that arise when trying to achieve progress or success.

Will only be worn by persistence
The key to success is to keep working hard and persevering through challenges.

Leave out conditions
To disregard limitations or restrictions and focus solely on what needs to be done.

Courageous convictions
To be true to your beliefs and stand up for what you believe in, even if it's difficult or unpopular.

Will drag the dream into existence
Believing in your dreams and working hard towards them is the only way to achieve them.

Everybody got to elevate
We must strive for excellence and push ourselves to be our best.

From the norm
To achieve greatness, we must break from traditional ways of thinking and doing things.
