@orangebeaker very possible , also I have read the lyrics point to LSD use and the loss of ego on a bad "trip". In existential philosophy the ego constrains ones behavior and in essence a person has no freedom of choice. On LSD those restraints are removed apparently and it's frightening the first time. I've never done LSD so I don't know how it feels. But society's resistance to any and all drug use is a common refrain in rush lyrics.

It's about a society opposed to music and one man's legacy to fight the priests and bring music to the people.
