Actually I think old Matt is on to something. I thought this song was cool, but just now reading the Lyrics I'm like Oh My God!!! This totally sounds like Satan. Then i read Matt's comments and saw I'm not the only one who has picked up on this. Why and how could music write the songs? It makes absolutely no sense that way. This song is very ambiguous but it does seem satanic and in nature. This song is about one song writer is saying he has been around forever, wrote the first song, etc alt the way up to rock and roll. Who could live that long on earth but Satan? Now as for heartbeats comments about love and special things being the antithesis of Satan that may be true. But the nature of Satan is also to deceive so he uses any and all purposes to deceive including love. Heck how many times has someone said I love you and then killed there partner or friend. That ain't love! You can say or write I love you 1000 times. It don't mean nothing unless it's followed by actions. Remember in the bible Satan often tempted people with the words of love. Satan used God's word against people by turning them around , taking them out of context ,or telling half truths. So yeah this song is actually kind of creepy when you think of it. Sort of a sugar-coated version of "Sympathy For The Devil".
