I doubt anyone else sees it this way, but I think of how the devil or demons might live within us.

"Things crawl in the darkness", like in 1 Peter 5:8 "Your adversary the devil prowls around".

To be honest, I don't know how demons work, and I don't know if they can be literally within us. But I can always see them working in my life. And I feel this heavily in a hormonal way. In a sexual way.

"That imagination spins", "A surge of adrenaline" "Suspicious-looking stranger flashes you a dangerous grin" (Maybe a prostitute. I've never seen one, but still.) "Shadows across your window" (Maybe naked silhouette.)

And it's about how we should deal with it. Saying things like how we can't just resist it, we have to revolt against it. Or how we need to live life to how it should rightfully be, and not just go with the flow. To not give in to what the devil says, and to walk the real adventure that God has for us. Not just sleazing it up for the rest of our lives.

That's why I like it. It's just how I think things should be. But actually doing all that stuff, and revolting against evil, well, I'm still working on that. Good luck to everyone else as well.
