Hotel California is by no means a Satanic song. I am an active
amatuer reasearcher on how music impacts our christian life. Hotel
California is actually about Satanic practices or to put it more
mildly, wayward practices. It is widely spoken that Hotel
California is a DRUG HOLE for drug addicts during that period and
it could be true because in the second line of the song, you would
see the word '...smell of COLITAS, rising up thru the air."
Colitas is a spanish plural word for COLA...which happens to be the
tip of the marijuna branch. And it is more potent
accordingly.
Some other evidences in the lyrics i find personally are
"You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave! " - DRUGS, you can hardly stop an
addiction. You cant leave it!
"'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' " - true isnt
it?
"'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell' " - Drugs can bring u
to a high and bring u to a low.
"Some dance to remember, some dance to forget " - drugs enable a
person to go into depression and delusion.
So there u go, some tots i found from my research and also some
personal views on the songs.
I do not believe in these "ROCK IS EVIL" stuff. Rock is not evil,
satan is. To put things into perspective, if SATAN REALLY wants to
use music to influence the christians of this world, he would have
use music that sounds like HILLSONGS which most christians are
suckers for...why would he use rock which he knows most christians
are against? Satan is angel of music, he can use HILLSONGS-style of
music if he wants to. Remember that.
It is the musicians not the music. Satan uses the musicians not the
music. Satan cannot influence the music but he can influence the
musicians. So not all musicians who sing about destruction, murder
are satanic, they are just like us christians when we adore GOD.
They are just expressing how they are feeling inside. If we were to
look at them with "Oh so satanic!" kind of eyes, who will reach out
to them?
Trust me, Satan doesnt always come in when the music is loud,
destructive or when the lyrics are obviously disturbing. Satan is a
LION but he TOO can be a SLY SERPENT. So, do you still think its
the music?
