This song covers a lot of concepts.
Primarily it is a description of today's rebel hero, Tom Sawyer.
This person is independent and self-aware.
Several in TS recurr in other Rush songs:
..."He knows that changes aren't permanent...but Change is": change is the only constant
..."Love and life are deep...maybe as his eyes are wide": reality is defined by our perception of it.
