How It Is Lyrics

Artist: Rush
Album: Vapor Trails

Here's a little trap
That sometimes catches everyone
When today's as far as we can see
Faith in bright tomorrows
giving way to resignation
That's how it is - how it's going to be

It's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun
Or feel the day has possibilities
Frozen in the moment -
the lack of imagination
Between how it is and how it ought to be

Here's a little trap
That sometimes trips up everyone
When we tire of our own company
Sometimes we're the last to see beyond the day's frustrations
That's how it is - how it's going to be

It's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun
I feel the day is all uncertainty
Burning in the moment - trapped by the desperation
Between how it is and how it ought to be

Foot upon the stair
Shoulder to the wheel
You can't tell yourself not to care
You can't tell yourself how to feel

That's how it is
Another cloudy day

Comments/Interpretations
by milkman on 5/30/2008 10:37pm I'm sitting here in the hospital with my mother, who was fine 3 weeks ago, but is paralized and dying from brain cancer now. The bottom line with these lyrics is, life doesn't suck, unless you think it does. I can't give in to self pity and grief, I must have hope, I must have faith.
