Subdivisions is a Rush song depicting and describing feelings of isolation, pain, and sadness springing up from teenage life in the suburbs, as well as describing the truth behind the feelings of being bored and trapped, mentally, physically, and emotionally as a reaction to growing up in the suburbs. It was released on the album Signals, appears on several greatest hits compilations, was released as a single in 1982, and despite doing little serious business in the UK charts, it gained a lot of radio airplay in Britain at the time. It was also played live prior to its release. Pre-release live versions exist on the internet.
[edit] Trivia
Although Alex Lifeson mouths the word Subdivisions in the promotional video for the song, the voice heard is actually that of Mark Dailey, a Toronto TV reporter.
