The next example of transcendental music is "Uprising" by Muse. This song reeks of transcendental views. It has elements of ridding yourself from material things with the line "Another promise, another seed. Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed," along with the rebellious spirit of resisting authority in the lines "They will not force us, they will stop degrading us. They will not control us, we will be victorious." Another theme that is evident is that we are being controlled by the ideals of society, and that appears in the lines "Interchanging mind control, come let the revolution take it's toll. If you could flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that we should never be afraid to die." This is definitely a great song to get you pumped up about transcendentalism.
