The first song, Evolution, incorporates a monstrous ....

.... as gods, which no one can touch. For example, think of it like a secret dictatorship, and we breathe as a fascist society, which puts fun and feelings above the Lord, above all. Many of the musicians consist of non-religious people who live only for fun and only for themselves. Why then would we, especially as Christians, put our total devotion in them?

The musicians tend to use drugs massively, to get out of the very real world that they consist so much a part of. Popularity ....

.... in my veins. But, why? That sounds like a dumb question...but is it? Is the music itself really arousing such strong feelings in me, or is it merely the means to bring those emotions out of me? The beats don't have any sentience. It's driving, it's hard, and it sure as hell makes me want to get up and dance, but does house music have anything more than electronic beats at it's core?
