Now that I think on it, maybe it is for some people. If you consider the lyric “lose yourself to the music, the moment...” the instruction to ‘lose oneself’ implies the experience must be voluntary; much like hypnosis, if you don’t wish to succumb to the hypnotic flow of the hypnotist’s drone, you won’t.
Then again, music also passively affects brain waves. I can’t find a review article after searching for five minutes. The neuronal firing patterns—the frequency of firing, or brain waves—induced by heavy metal differ from jazz, which yet differs from classical, which further depends upon the composer and the piece.
