This song is encouraging two main themes that greatly correspond to transcendentalism. First, it is endorsing non-conformity in that it is telling people to see the world through their own eyes and heart, not through those and ideas of others. It’s also suggesting free thought in that it implies that there is no universal reality, only individual perception—that you create your own experience and that your own personal experience should not be clouded by judgment and ideas of society and other people. Life’s what you make it, celebrate it. Live in the now and don’t let the negatives of the past stop you and your heart’s desire for happiness.
