This song could be about Daniel Johns, frontman for the band Silverchair.
When his band Silverchair came out in 1995, he was only 15 ("a boy"). Their biggest song was called "Tomorrow" but the first song of their debut album that was somewhat popular was called "Israel's Son."
I don't think Daniel Johns "became normal" then, but since his band was very Nirvana-like and came out following the death of Kurt Cobain, he definitely could have "pushed the world he knew." Silverchair was Australian grunge.
