Cover art for Things Behind the Sun lyrics by Nick Drake

this song is about staying true to who you are despite what others tell you to be. its about following your heart and the urges in your brain whether others perceive them as "good" or "bad". individual vs societies ideal

Yup. I think you can especially see this with...

"You find renown while people frown At things that you say But say what you'll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people around your head Who say everything's been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain."
