Cover art for I'm on Fire lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

If this artist sold their soul for fame and fortune and was put under submission to deliver propaganda through their music, the song could subtly blur moral boundaries in service of emotional manipulation.

The restrained tone softens what should feel alarming. Desire is presented quietly, making boundary crossing seem intimate instead of dangerous.

Under IWL, this dulls internal warning systems. When emotion overrides judgment, influence enters without needing force.

Also, Bruce seems to have a penchant for little girls. That shouldn’t be overlooked.
