This song is about, as has been said, a boy who falls in love. It's not that hard to get when you know it, but I can understand some people might not come up with it because of Peart's formulation.
The best thing about this song is the lyrical co-operation with Digital Man.
An analog signal is a signal that is written as it is recorded, without having anything encrypted. A digital signal is an encrypted signal that needs to be decoded, a digital signal only gives a positive or a negative signal, a 0 or a 1.
This is something that shines through in the songs. The Analog Kid is about a boy who is overwhelmed with straight-forward emotion. Digital Man is about a heartless, calculating man.
My guess would be this is where the album title comes from. I can't say for sure though, as I don't know much Rush history.
