"Once ,long ago, I saw a castle in the sky and I shall reach it one day with the song of truth leading the way."
The fact that this song is in a foreign language obviously means that interpretations of the song may vary depending on the language one wishes to translate it into.
Aside from that, this song has significant meaning to life. This song states how one may go through hardships in life and question it all. However, the "Song of Truth" will help one find the way. In my understanding of the lyrics, it appears that this "Song of Truth" may be referred to as one's intuition. To be able to make it through with the understanding of what is true to be able to know what to do. The song speaks of being able to “transcend to a higher spiritual level" (reaching the castles in the sky) by following the "Song of Truth". This whole idea and meaning allows this song to fit in acceptably under the "transcending" category. Therefore, "Shinjitsu no Uta" fits under the "Transcending" category as an example.

This song really fits well into Transcending. I agree with your interpretation of this song and also believe it to have to do with the importance of nature. The importance of nature emerges in the song when it says "this song of truth shall be my guide" it demonstrates how one listens to good influences, in this case the truth. Also transcendentalists strongly believed in listening to the right influences. Also when the song states "that way, even if i get hurt and lose everything around me this song of truth will flow through my heart" it shows how one seeks spiritual greatness because being hurt is an emotion.
