Staccato, percussive drumbeats tend to dominate electro; with beats once mostly provided by the Roland TR-808 drum machine, the advent of computers in electronic music has outdated this old school method and are now used by the majority of electro producers the world over. The TR-808, created in 1980, has an immediately recognizable sound, and through the use of samples remains somewhat popular in electro and other genres to the present day. Other electro instrumentation is generally all-electronic, favoring analog synthesis, bass lines, sequenced or arpeggiated synthetic riffs, and atonal sound effects all created with synthesizers. Heavy use of effects such as reverbs, delays, chorus or phasers along with eerie synthetic ensemble strings or pad sounds emphasize the common science fiction or futuristic theme of the lyrics and/or music. Most electro is instrumental, but a common element is vocals processed through a vocoder. Additionally, speech synthesis may be used to create robotic or mechanical lyrical content. Some earlier electro features rapping, but that lyrical style has become less popular in the genre from the 1990s onward..... ..........It was all about stretching the boundaries that had begun to stifle black music, and its influences lay not only with German technopop wizards Kraftwerk, the acknowledged forefathers of pure electro, plus British futurist acts like the Human League and Gary Numan, but also with a number of pioneering black musicians. Major artists like Miles Davis, Sly Stone, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, legendary producer Norman Whitfield and, of course, George Clinton and his P Funk brigade, would all play their part in shaping this new sound via their innovative use of electronic instruments during the 70’s (and as early as the late 60’s in Miles Davis’s.

I wanna wanna hang a name on you

I wanna know what's good for you

You don't know, you don't really wanna know

The chorus of Sleigh Bells's song Run The Heart is a back-and-forth conversation between two individuals. The first lines of the chorus express a desire to hang a name on the other person, possibly a reference to wanting to own or possess them. The repeated phrase "I wanna know what's good for you" shows a potential controlling nature. The second half of the chorus flips the conversation to the other person who reciprocates the desire to attach a name to the singer and find out what's good for them. However, the following lines "You don't know, you don't really wanna know" suggest that the singer doesn't necessarily want anyone to know them too well. The repeated line "You take a heart, I can take out two" implies a sense of aggression or possessiveness.
Overall, the lyrics of Run The Heart appear to be about power dynamics and control in relationships. The back-and-forth conversation in the chorus highlights how both individuals may be seeking to dominate each other, and the aggressiveness in the repeated lines suggests that this struggle may not end well for either party. The use of repetition of certain phrases and the short lines with no clear narrative structure also gives the song a sense of chaos or confusion, further emphasizing the unstable nature of the relationship being depicted.
