"We wrote our submission with several ideas in mind when we first started tracking this song. We believe the concept behind 'Doors of Perception' is that each and every one of us are on a one way road through our lives, yet that road has many obstacles. We can choose to stay on the main road, but that can only be determined based on choice. Each obstacle that we face, whatever the circumstance may be, can be overcome in many ways, yet the way we perceive each obstacle can potentially change the way we make our choices. Ultimately, life presents us with many opportunities and decisions to make, and it is up to us to open door after door with a clear perception and continue down the main road of life."
