This song is supposed to have come together effortlessly. The give and take between the drum part and the bass part is complex, but not difficult for Neil and Geddy to perform. Interestingly, the phrase in the fade-out at the end changes slightly with every “repetition.”
Grand Designs Lyrics
[Intro]
A to B
Different degrees...
[Verse 1]
So much style without substance
So much stuff without style
It's hard to recognize the real thing
It comes along once in a while
Like a rare and precious metal beneath a ton of rock
It takes some time and trouble to separate from the stock
You sometimes have to listen to a lot of useless talk
Shapes and forms against the norm
[Chorus]
Against the run of the mill
Swimming against the stream
Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme
[Verse 2]
So much poison in power, the principles get left out
So much mind on the matter, the spirit gets forgotten about
Like a righteous inspiration overlooked in haste
Like a teardrop in the ocean, a diamond in the waste
Some world-views are spacious
And some are merely spaced
[Chorus]
Against the run of the mill
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams
Curves and lines
Of grand designs
[Chorus]
Against the run of the mill
Swimming against the stream
Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme
[Chorus]
Against the run of the mill
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams
