Didacts & Narpets, Do U know what this means?? (Addicts & Parents)

[f***@gmail.com]

For any of U who care...(not that this is intentional, but...) The letters of Didacts & Narpets
can be reconstroued to spell "Addicts & Parents" Hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............?

Actually, it's teachers and parents and this from Neil Peart himself. A didactic is one who teaches and narpets is an anagram like you said. The addicts part is coincidental. But I always though that this piece represented the hero being assaulted, while acting as captain of a ship, by his deserting crew and that the heavy guitar chords at the end were cudgel blows. Thus the words that immediately follow on the next track.

Narpet is a jumble for Parent. so it comes out as "Teachers and Parents"

Respond to a decades-old question? Hey, why not? Here's a quote directly from Neil Peart on the subject:

“…the shouted words in that song represent an argument between Our Hero and the Didacts and Narpets – teachers and parents. I honestly can’t remember what the actual words were, but they took up opposite positions like: “Work! Live! Earn! Give!” and like that.”

The Necromancer - why not resurrect something ancient?

Didacts being an anagram of Addicts may well be a coincidence, but that would make a lot of the lyrics coincidental too:

Yet my eyes are drawn toward
The mountain in the east
Fascinates and captivates
Gives my heart no peace

...

Seaspray blurs my vision
Waves roll by so fast
Save my ship of freedom
I'm lashed helpless to the mast

...

The whiteness of confusion
Is unfolding from my mind
I stare around in wonder
Have I left my life behind

...

Panacea, passion pure
I can't resist your gentle lure
My heart will lie beside you
And my wandering body grieves

...

Give me back my wonder
I've something more to give
I guess it doesn't matter
There's not much more to
Not much more to live

------

Yeah. Probably just a coincidence :rofl
