| I'm currently playing with the idea that whatever we believe and a lot of the things that we dream happen. At the very least, whatever we believe controls our perceptions. And, the best choice would seem to be free will - i.e. we choose who and what we want to be, hopefully unfettered by the chains of old fears and the source code of old religions that were designed for places the human race has been in the past but is not now. But then, I could be wrong. ;-) Anyway, it's obviously to me (and of course it could mean different things to different people and may mean different htings to me at different points in my life) a song about choosing to be yourself. | |

| Song is (from what I take out of it) about Neil Peart's disdain for religion. This song is about horrible things happening like plague and murder that people blame on the gods."The stars aren't aligned Or the gods are malign"- Blame is better to give than receive". He also states that religion is some story that people made up (as in there really is no god) and use as an excuse to kill. "You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill". Basically in the song Freewill means atheism. Well that's what I got out of it. He writes about something similar in the song "Roll the Bones". | |

| I like this song even more than I did before because in my Philosophy and Literature class we're talking about Spinoza. He believed that we act upon natural laws and that we don't choose our own path in life, but God has already made a path for us. This is why I like this song | |
