Well the song is groovy! Coming back to point. BEING ORIGINAL? Why be original? What is being original? How do you know what you are 'originally'? How do you know you arent faking out? So many question and so very complicated.
I just understand one thing and that's very simple. 'Justifying your actions' - please this has no relations to religious point of views or anything. I am just generally making an observation. If I like to wear red lip color, I shouldn't have to 'justify' how bold the look is, if I want to listen to Coke Studio stuff its not because its so current and everybody is listening to it, if I don't want to talk to you its because I don't want to not because the 'peer pressure' is on and I have to own up the leader of the pack!? - I guess I am totally confusing you and not making any sense at all.
Simple put - don't do thing just to be in the 'it' crowd. Believe me it gets tiring. Soon you realize you have a low tolerance level, your comfort for thing you used to like is gone and sooner or later you are somebody you don't know. Either altogether avoid people you don't share interests if you are easy to influence or grow a backbone, try new things and filter out the stuff you dont like. For as long as I know people call me 'aggressive' 'too up front' 'too blunt' - cause I call them on their shit. I have always done it and in a way it relieves me of the duty to kiss up to them for the rest of time they'd be hanging around my life. Its a favor to both of us! How? - they know what to expect of me, I know what to expect of them. Also I have a low tolerance with people who are pretending, double meanings, manipulation - dude/dudette I don't have time for your games! Nobody does.
Being Original You - is necessary! maybe not when you are a teen and easily warped into the teeny bopper idols fascination but maybe in college or maybe later because if you want to truly enjoy life you have to let your guards down, you have to let go and you have to truly surrender to something bigger then yourself to experience happiness.
Being Original is so freeing, you don't have to bow down to anarchy of social norms or the figurative leader of your social pack, your time is your time. Be a little non-conformist, break out the mold.
To be a rebel - you don't have to be cool, you have to be original.
