Singing me to you

World vs God

After watching a christina aguilera live performance video (her latest single - not myself tonight) on youtube and checking out the lyrics of her song... i was deeply troubled by what the contents of the song depicts. Check out her lyrics below if you think there's even any meaning in this.

You know tonight
I am feeling a little out control
Is this me
You wanna get crazy
Because I don't give a...

1ST VERSE
I'm out of character
I'm in rare form
And If you really knew me
You'd know its not the norm

B SECTION:
Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
The old me's gone I feel brand new
And if you don't like it **** you

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

2ND VERSE:
I'm dancing alot and I'm taking shots I'm feeling fine
I'm kissing all the boys and the girls
Someone call the doctor cause I lost my mind

B SECTION:
Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
The old me's gone I feel brand new
And if you don't like it **** you

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

BRIDGE:
In the morning
When I wake Up
I'll go back to the girl I used to be
But baby not tonight

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

Yah, that feels good
I needed that
Get crazy
Let's go
That's right
Come on
Give it to me now, don't stop

I can't help but make a comparison with a passage from the Bible in Romans 12:1-21

World - Lose your mind
God - Be renewed in your mind (v2)

World - Offer your bodies to each other
God - Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God as a worship unto Him (v1). Bible says elsewhere also to keep your bodies pure.

World - Think of yourself highly
God - Do not think yourself more highly than you ought, but with sober judgement, according to faith God has given me (v3)

World - Use your gifts for pleasure, money, sex, self fulfillment, fame
God - Use your gifts graciously given by God to serve Him, do it in love because God first loved us. (v8-21), John 3:16

May God help us discern.
