		Electronic synthesizers, drum set, and chordophones, or a combination of the three most likely generate the instrumental tones heard in the piece.
		Then, possibly the most compelling element musically of the piece is the hard bass beat; a device used to add to the symbolic meaning and mood created by the lyrics.
