Ninja Sex Party - Subdivisions Lyrics






Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone

(Subdivisions)
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
(Subdivisions)
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights...

(Subdivisions)
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
(Subdivisions)
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth

Ninja Sex Party Subdivisions Comments
  1. R.... B....

    In the shopping carts

  2. H.... ....

    Neil Peart just passed away so I was going through a bunch of Rush songs. Remembered what a great cover this was, you guys really did it justice.

  3. G.... B....

    RIP Niel Peart. They honor you.

  4. E.... Y....

    My deepest apologies to Geddy Lee, but I think that Danny might sing this better then the fucking original!

  5. M.... ....

    random thought though, this is the kind of song you'd hear on build-a-bearville

  6. B.... ....

    Only recently did I start listening to Rush. I bought a CD from the Walmart clearance bin and it contained this classic masterpiece. It quickly became one of my favorite songs by Rush. To see Danny do a cover of this song that is faithful to the original, and a totally badass cover at that, it's pretty amazing.

  7. F.... ....

    this is a great workout song

  8. A.... P....

    This is one of my favourite Rush songs and this cover sounds fucking awesome, this has never made me feel so happy to be Canadian

  9. V.... M....

    When the robot said subdivisions i camed in my pants

  10. N.... S....

    Is that Brian doing the "subdivisions" part?

  11. s.... l....

    I am completely blown away by Dan's harmonies in this cover that he is able to transform an already incredible song into even more of an immensely moving experience.... This is by far my favourite cover of anything, ever. I lose myself. 4:38: 'Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth but the suburbs have no charms to suit the restless streams of YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUTH'

  12. P.... ....

    I was modeling in blender when this song came on so every time they said "subdivision" it gave me a fucking heart attack because I thought something was talking to me.

  13. J.... ....

    Song request: Bizarre Love Triangle

  14. a.... m....

    i could listen to Danny and TWRP doing Rush covers all the time!

  15. J.... F....

    Whoa dude

  16. z.... ....

    Danny needs to cover ALL the Rush songs.

  17. G.... W....

    Oh, it's my most forgotten song! XD I actually have the original on my MP3 player but for some reason each time it comes up my first reaction is like "What is that song? Do I know it? How did it get onto my player?" until I finally start remembering. Also in the case of this cover I spent the first 30 seconds wondering "Don't I know that?"

  18. L.... P....

    I am listening all your cover and its Wonderful ! Super Voice !

  19. M.... P....

    I really hope they do another Rush song for Under the Covers 3

  20. J.... P....

    Rush fan for three decades here. nice job!

  21. F.... A....

    Next under the covers album rush song suggestions
    Dreamline
    Xanadu
    Roll the bones
    Presto
    Tom Sawyer
    Witch hunt
    Lock and key
    One little victory
    2112
    La villa strangiato
    Yyz
    Vital signs
    Spirit of radio
    Presto
    Circumstances
    Far cry
    Carnies
    Seven cities of gold
    The trees
    Freewill
    Distant early warning
    Mystic Rhythms
    Red sector a
    Animate
    Losing it
    New world man
    Driven
    Caravan
    Headlong flight

  22. K.... W....

    is no one going to mention the "SUBDIVISIONS" that happens to be 5 times louder than and very out of place compared to the entire rest of the song and may or may not have given me a heart attack 100% of the times that it happened

  23. A.... Z....

    Did they get Arin to say Subdivisions?

  24. J.... W....

    Awesomeness! I would love to hear you guys cove4 my other favorite Rush song, Xanadu, as well. It would be epic if you guys covered Yes, maybe Long Distance Runaround! Love you guys!

  25. G.... E....

    Who's the one saying Subdivisions?

  26. e.... ....

    in the high school halls
    *i n t h e s h o p p i n g malls*

  27. E.... ....

    If you do another covers album it needs a Rush song too! It's a tradition!

  28. N.... P....

    I hope the next Rush they cover is Time Stands Still!!!!! Love Danny's voice!!!

  29. M.... L....

    I need NSP to cover Queen and Aerosmith. Dearly !

  30. S.... D....

    I know who's discography I will be collecting very soon.
    Their original songs are excellent and their covers sound great to me.
    Damn excellent work guys x

  31. p.... ....

    4:47 holy shit

  32. N.... M....

    I didn't know they did a cover of this song! Why did no one inform me of this?

  33. M.... L....

    As I diehard RUSH fan, I declare this a damn good cover.

  34. S.... Q....

    I'm so happy to see the love for one of the greatest band's!!!!!

  35. J.... A....

    I dont like it. And i love Rush.

  36. T.... O....

    I know what I clicked on and what I was expecting, but for a split second when it first started I was like "why is DMX- Up in here playing?"

  37. O.... ....

    I Knew Danny was a fan, and I like them too, but as good as this looked I rather just listen to Rush.

    O.... ....

    OniSamaGin Me too.

  38. k.... ....

    it would be so cool if they did spirit of the radio or tom sawyer

  39. k.... ....

    danny avidan and rush???? hell yeah!!

  40. B.... F....

    NSP could cover Totem by Rush so well I know it

  41. B.... ....

    I think this is my favorite cover from nsp

  42. f.... a....

    For your next covers album you should do a cover of Dreamline by rush

  43. K.... K....

    Danny, I know you'll be reading this in the Dale Gribble voice, but please switch to the Obama voice for me right now. Uh, you should really, uh, cover The Wreckers, off of the Clockwork Angels album. Come on, uh, do it for your boy, uh, President Barry O.

  44. A.... G....

    Tremendous! Just discovered this band, and their covers are all awesome. His voice is perfect for a Rush song.

  45. P.... ....

    i love under the cover cuz i dont have to be embarrassed to listen to it in public

  46. N.... ....

    NSP has joined the ranks of legend, I actually enjoy their cover better than the original.
    It's damned near impossible to out-rush Rush, so kudos to Danny and Brian.

  47. H.... ....

    I think I had a seizure when I saw they did this why tf did I not know

  48. L.... C....

    Geddy Lee would be proud

  49. B.... A....

    I think if Danny sang a bit higher pitch it would be perfect

    B.... A....

    If he tried to, he'd ruin his voice. Geddy is one of a kind.

  50. A.... S....

    Damn, I really love the synth solo at 3:52

  51. E.... W....

    Rush is so great. Then you went and did a cover of Limelight and killed that too and even at 6969 (if you can call that a cover of 2112) was great. X) lol

  52. T.... J....

    When Rush is your favorite band you nail that 7/8 like it's nothing

  53. K.... S....

    I read the little pamphlet that goes with NSP's CDs, and most actually, and I read aloud Danny's favorite band and all my mother, who was sitting next to me, had to say was "Great, he's a nerd."

  54. D.... R....

    I want a cover of Tainted Love

  55. B.... G....

    I wanna buy like 20 copies of the album and just give em to people. The youth. The elderly. Everyone could benefit from this.

    B.... G....

    hell yeah, i didn't know about half of the artists on either of these albums until i heard NSP's awesome covers

  56. H.... ....

    He accidentally did a part in the second synth solo in the first part :P

  57. J.... ....

    What a ridiculously talented duo. I hope I can jam with them one day

  58. J.... ....

    Very nicely sang very impressive instruments feels very much like Rush to me, but I could be wrong... though I am not much of a Rush fan, but doesn't change how much it impressed me

  59. B.... J....

    Good cover.

  60. a.... ....

    Cover freewill

  61. S.... F....

    MORE RUSH IN UNDER THE COVERS III!

  62. D.... M....

    R😍SH!

    D.... M....

    Dave Marx rosh?

  63. V.... ....

    awesome synth riffs by brian!

  64. C.... ....

    Not bad, but as a huge Rush fan, I'm gonna stick with the original.

  65. P.... ....

    Casually perusing the Under the Covers playlist and I spot one of my favorite Rush songs. Are you shitting my nuts with this selection?

  66. W.... F....

    Damn sexy voice you got there boy.

  67. J.... M....

    OMG this is the best thing ever! Almost as good as the original! Danny rocks! I couldn't help but scream the whole song!!! Best lyrics ever; Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth. But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth.

  68. B.... B....

    When you realize they did not one, but two Rush covers...

    B.... B....

    Bad Beard Bill 3
    Madrigal
    Limelight
    This

  69. C.... ....

    It's a great song to listen to while making a fake presidential campaign for Cthulhu.

  70. s.... t....

    Who do you think is saying "Subdivisions"? It doesn't sound like Brian at all.

    s.... t....

    Probably twrp

  71. J.... S....

    I don't believe it.

  72. J.... M....

    Oh my god! Danny singing Rush is so god damn amazing!

  73. E.... W....

    There was an add for a show of ninja sex party

  74. B.... S....

    I'd love to see a cover of owner of a lonely heart and/or long distance run around by Yes

  75. D.... ....

    Danny sing spirit of the radio with me!

  76. H.... K....

    NSP Tom Sawyer cover. Why can't this be a thing? Why is this not thing? This needs to be a thing.

    J.... ....

    Thank you for your service.

  78. W.... a....

    I want to hear them cover "Tom Sawyer"!

  79. T.... C....

    The real song started playing on my car radio when i started playing this lol

  80. T.... R....

    Okay, TWRP fucking rocks. Rush is one of the most technical bands I know, and they owned this. Here's to hoping for more Rush on the next cover album. (Freewill please?)

  81. S.... B....

    I was never the cool kid in school, but the friends I did have were the best I could ask for.

  82. N.... ....

    This is what the cool patrol tries to avoid.

  83. M.... ....

    Danny and Geddy are both crazy haired Jewish Bassists this song was meant for him to be covered

    M.... ....

    Pretty sure it's Meouch playing bass here. They did this with TWRP.

    M.... ....

    @Chris Check yes, that's not what the comment was saying, it is just saying that Dan plays the bass

    M.... ....

    Chris Check r/whoooosh

    M.... ....

    @Big Shayne can we not with this fucking reddit shit

    M.... ....

    @a pear It was funny at first, now not so much.

  84. L.... ....

    This is the Diet Coke of Rush's Subdivisions: just one calorie, not awesome enough. Why even bother if you can't match the original? Pathetic. These guys should be ashamed of themselves!

  85. K.... S....

    I'm conflicted....which version do I like better?!

  86. J.... S....

    This is so awesome I love Rush

  87. J.... D....

    very funny thesse guys a decent job not bad all who's next fifth Harmory covers
    time stand still

  88. C.... H....

    is it weird that i wanna have sex with his voice? oh and btw i think Danny's sense of humor, intelligence, talent and yes the Jew hair are sexy...but it was the intelligence and sense of humor that caused this 36 yr old woman to start crushing like a teenager for the first time in over 20 years...

  89. T.... ....

    The original is much better in terms of vocals and drums I'm not sure what people are talking about when they say that Danny's vocals are better here. I love the guy, and I love Brian, they're both brilliant. but nothing can match the skill or passion in the performance of rush's original Signals recording, not this at least. The vocals are overproduced, the reverb and layering makes it sound weirdly weak and faded, and his voice while silky and lovely is too smooth and gentle to match the wailing pitch and intensity of Geddy Lee. Danny I know has a great love and respect for Rush and probably didn't hope to emulate that performance but rather just do his own take as himself not trying to be Geddy, and that's fine, but to my mind the seemingly mild-mannered far away almost shy attempt to pay tribute to the song is somewhat disappointing in it's lack of commitment to the intensity the original recording brought.

    But I suppose if easy listening is your thing go for it.

    T.... ....

    What's the point in doing a cover if you're going to make it the exact same song...?

    T.... ....

    I disagree I think that Danny's vocals sound much smoother and cleaner

  90. O.... ....

    DO XANADU NEXT

  91. R.... o....

    We need a blue oyster cult cover hopefully don't fear the reaper

    R.... o....

    The prophet

    R.... o....

    R.... o....

    @Twisted Wizard And it's FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!

    R.... o....

    holy shit do i got news for you
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHnli6L9-mA

    R.... o....

    I'd love to hear these guys cover I love the Night by B.O.C!!!!!

  92. R.... ....

    I wish minions were provided
    :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

    R.... ....

    Opinions. Unless you're making a joke...

  93. J.... M....

    I've been a musician a long time, a Rush fan almost the entire time. This is absolutely incredible. Dan's vocal harmonies are amazing.

  94. V.... R....

    never heard of this band. good job covering Rush

  95. N.... a....

    How did I only just find this, literally two of my very favorite bands

  96. n.... P....

    It's awesome hearing you cover Rush, one of the best prog bands ever! and one of my favorite bands.

  97. p.... ....

    Ninja Sex Party....you'll never see 'em cummin

  98. J.... D....

    I thought it was great, although I was kinda wishing they got a little more creative with the drumming than just using the original. Oh well, hard to complain about Neil's drumming!

  99. J.... S....

    I wish they put who's song it is in the description because I don't know most of these

    J.... S....

    Jim Saladears This one is from a band called Rush (if you were wondering)

  100. S.... ....

    They should cover Spirit of Radio

    S.... ....

    Maybe they can salvage the rap from Roll the Bones?

    S.... ....

    heck yeah man!

    S.... ....

    I'd like to hear them cover Closer to the Heart, The Trees, or the two Cygnus X-1 songs.
