Lyrics meaning
The lyrics celebrate a โSociedade Alternativa,โ or alternative society, where people are free to choose how they live. The repeated cries of โVivaโ sound like a public chant, giving the song a joyful, rebellious energy. Its emotional movement is less a personal story than a bold declaration: it imagines a new age built around freedom and self-direction.
The playful examplesโtaking a bath with a hat, waiting for Santa Claus, or discussing a singerโsuggest that even unusual or ordinary choices should not be controlled by others. โEvery man and every woman is a starโ presents each person as distinctive and worthy of freedom. The repeated phrase โdo what you wantโ is framed as a law, turning personal choice into the central rule of this imagined society.
The song also names Aleister Crowley, Thelema, and โthe law of the strong,โ connecting its message to a specific philosophy of will and power. That makes the freedom it celebrates open to more than one interpretation: it may sound like a call for personal independence, but โthe law of the strongโ could also raise questions about whose freedom matters most. The lyrics do not explain how the alternative society would work in practice; their force comes from the ideal and the chant-like invitation to imagine it.
