Transcendentalism Song - 1
Let Me Be Myself by 3 Doors Down (0:38 - 1:02)
This song expresses many themes relevant to transcendentalism, and judging from the title, the most prominent being individuality. The lyrics describe a scenario in which one feels trapped, possibly even lost behind the path of another. The solution to this difficult scenario is found through accessing one's inner self, due to the fact that one cannot tap in to one's full potential if one cannot embrace one's self. As Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, "A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best." No man knows his heart better than himself, thus, nobody should tell man what to do, or do anything to limit his potential.
