I feel that that this song is about Geddy and Alex, their friendship as well as their professional relationship. In that perspective the lyrics expains themselves relatively easily but here are two examples.
"Who's come to slay the dragon,
Come to watch him fall?
Making arrows out of pointed words,
Giant killers at the call? " - Rush recieved some pretty nasty critisism at the time.
"What happened to our innocence,
Did it go out of style?" - The new wave scene gained alot of popularity at the time and maybe Rush felt their style is getting a little "old".
