Tom sawyer rush what does it mean

The "space he invades" represents his daily job and the working environment that he must navigate through on his path to truth. Along the way he encounters many naysayers and obstacles that impede the path to his goal, and they are referred to as, "the friction of the day".

I write 'poems' when in the mood and I'm guessing not many would interpret what I meant the lyrics to mean. I never conceived that Tom Sawyer could be the machine.
