Contemporary electronic music expresses both art music forms including computer music, experimental music, musique concrete, and others; and popular music forms including multiple styles of dance music such as techno, house, trance, electro, breakbeat, drum and bass, electropop, synthpop, etc.
A distinction can be made between instruments that produce sound through electromechanical means as opposed to instruments that produce sound using electronic components.
Examples of electromechanical instruments are the telharmonium, Hammond organ, and the electric guitar, whereas examples of electronic instruments are a Theremin, synthesizer, and a computer.

City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So while you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
You won't get undercounted 'cause you're damned and free
You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they got her kissing, 'cause I don't get sleep, no
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Laughin' gas these hazmats, fast cats
Linin' 'em up like ass cracks
Play these ponies at the track
It's my chocolate attack
Shit, I'm steppin' in the heart of this here (yeah)
Care Bear rappin' in harder this year (yeah)
Watch me as I gravitate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yo, we gon' ghost town this Motown
With yo' sound, you in the blink
Gon' bite the dust, can't fight with us
With yo' sound, you kill the Inc.
So don't stop, get it, get it (get it)
Until you're cheddar headed
And watch the way I navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good

The opening few lines of the lyrics in Gorillaz’s “Feel Good Inc.” are mainly vocal ‘ad-libs’ that serve to introduce the song before the verse starts. The song then delves into a commentary on modern society and how it has become trapped within a capitalist system. The first verse suggests that most people don’t take the time to consider their own lives and have just accepted the tough circumstances they find themselves in. However, the song is optimistic and suggests that people have the power to change and find happiness through new horizons.
The chorus then comes in with the repetition of the line ‘windmill, windmill for the land’ which is an allegory for continued effort and positivity despite constant change and challenges. Love and freedom are thematic undercurrents throughout the song, and the chorus’ ‘love forever, love is free’ reinforces this. The second verse draws attention to the use of drugs and other means of escaping the confines of society. The bridge then follows which is a catchy, tongue-twisting part of the song that contains some fantastic wordplay, and introduces a new vocal tone.
Line by Line Meaning
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, feel good
The song is all about feeling good and that is what the opening lines imply.
Sha, sha ba da, sha ba da, feel good
This line also emphasizes the feeling of goodness which is going to continue throughout the song.
City's breaking down on a camel's back
The city's population is suffering and facing a crisis so severe that it feels like their entire world is collapsing.
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
The people of the city feel that they have no choice but to leave their homes behind as they don't know what to do and where to go.
So while you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
Despite the chaos and destruction, the sight of people coming together is a beautiful and appealing thing to witness.
You won't get undercounted 'cause you're damned and free
In the midst of crisis, the people are still standing strong and refuse to be counted out.
You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
Despite the bleakness of the current situation, there's a new hope on the horizon, albeit one that may be temporary or fleeting.
A melancholy town where we never smile
The city is a sad place where people have given up hope and rarely smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
The artist of the song is waiting to hear from someone or something, seeking a sign of hope and positivity.
My dreams, they got her kissing, 'cause I don't get sleep, no
The artist is so focused on their thoughts and dreams that they cannot sleep, leading to longing and desperate desire for some kind of affection and reassurance.
Windmill, windmill for the land
The windmill symbolizes progress and hope for the people, representing motion and a promising future.
Turn forever hand in hand
The people must come together as one and continue working towards a better tomorrow.
Take it all in on your stride
Despite the challenges, the people must keep moving forward and take things as they come.
It is ticking, falling down
Time is of the essence and the clock is ticking down, meaning people need to act quickly to change their fate.
Love forever, love is free
The message of love and freedom is one that resonates throughout the song, encouraging people to hold on to these ideals and fight for a better future.
Let's turn forever you and me
The artist is calling for unity and for people to work together to create a brighter future for everyone.
Is everybody in?
The artist is asking if the people are ready to come together and work towards a common goal.
Laughin' gas these hazmats, fast cats
In the midst of crisis, there are people still finding ways to enjoy life and have fun, even if it takes a bit of creativity for them to do so.
Linin' 'em up like ass cracks
This line is a bit nonsensical, but seems to indicate that people are coming together in creative but sometimes humorous ways, even in the face of hardship.
Play these ponies at the track
Again, a bit nonsensical, but this line may be indicating that people are taking bets or taking chances in life, even if the stakes feel high.
It's my chocolate attack
This line suggests that the artist feels empowered and ready to take on the challenges of life with everything they have, even if it means facing some not-so-sweet moments.
Shit, I'm steppin' in the heart of this here (yeah)
This line seems to indicate that the artist is fully immersed in the difficulty and chaos of the situation, but is ready to embrace it head-on.
Care Bear rappin' in harder this year (yeah)
This line refers to the Care Bears of the children's TV show fame, but it is unclear what the connection is, beyond a general sense of whimsy and childlike wonder in the face of adversity.
Watch me as I gravitate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
The artist is calling attention to themselves and their own sense of power and focus, showing they are ready to rise to the challenge.
Yo, we gon' ghost town this Motown
This is a call to action, suggesting that people will rise up and support one another in the face of hardship, even if it means leaving behind their old lives and lifestyles.
With yo' sound, you in the blink
This line seems to reference the power of music and sound to help people move past difficult moments in life, allowing them to find joy and hope.
Gon' bite the dust, can't fight with us
The singer is indicating that people who oppose them or try to stop them will ultimately be left behind, as they move on to greener pastures.
With yo' sound, you kill the Inc.
This line is again a bit difficult to interpret, but it may be referencing some kind of corporation or establishment, which the people are figuratively or literally getting rid of in order to create a better future.
So don't stop, get it, get it (get it)
The artist is encouraging people to keep pushing forward and not to give up, even if the road ahead is difficult.
Until you're cheddar head
This line is a bit silly, but seems to indicate that people should keep fighting and pushing forward until they achieve some level of success or financial security, represented here as a 'cheddar head' - effectively, someone with money.
And watch the way I navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
The singer is emphasizing their own skill and strength, indicating that they have what it takes to lead others through adversity and towards a brighter future.
