Lyrics meaning

The lyrics celebrate a โ€œSociedade Alternativa,โ€ or alternative society, where people are free to choose how they live. The repeated cries of โ€œVivaโ€ 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 examplesโ€”taking a bath with a hat, waiting for Santa Claus, or discussing a singerโ€”suggest that even unusual or ordinary choices should not be controlled by others. โ€œEvery man and every woman is a starโ€ presents each person as distinctive and worthy of freedom. The repeated phrase โ€œdo 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 โ€œthe 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 โ€œthe 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.
