Not merely bands using electronic instruments, electro-industrial specifically refers to a brooding, complex, layered sound combining synthesized choirs & strings, arpeggiated chords, media samples and often vocoded or modulated vocals. It should not to be confused with EBM which features upbeat, minimal dance-oriented structures, nor industrial rock which prominently features distorted electric guitars.
The style was pioneered by Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly and came to include notable bands such as X-Marks the Pedwalk, Leæther Strip, Mentallo & The Fixer, Haujobb, Placebo Effect, Forma Tadre and early Evil's Toy amongst many others. Record Labels associated with this genre include early Nettwerk, Wax Trax!, Antler Subway and Zoth Ommog.
In the mid-'90s, the style branched off further into the dark electro and aggrotech sub-genres. After the year 2000 the genre has largely been supplanted by it's offshoots but in addition to it's originators there are still some new bands such as Necro Facility, Dead When I Found Her and Mommy Hurt My Head that continue to make music in this style.

Billie Eilish Lyrics
Billie
What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?
Come here
Say it, spit it out, what is it exactly
You're payin'? Is the amount cleanin' you out, am I satisfactory?
Today, I'm thinkin' about the things that are deadly
The way I'm drinkin' you down
Like I wanna drown, like I wanna end me
Step on the glass, staple your tongue (ahh)
Bury a friend, try to wake up (ah-ahh)
Cannibal class, killing the son (ahh)
Bury a friend, I wanna end me
I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?
Listen
Keep you in the dark, what had you expected?
Me to make you my art and make you a star
And get you connected?
I'll meet you in the park, I'll be calm and collected
But we knew right from the start that you'd fall apart
'Cause I'm too expensive
It's probably somethin' that shouldn't be said out loud
Honestly, I thought that I would be dead by now (wow)
Calling security, keepin' my head held down
Bury the hatchet or bury your friend right now
The debt I owe, gotta sell my soul
'Cause I can't say no, no, I can't say no
Then my limbs all froze and my eyes won't close
And I can't say no, I can't say no
Careful
Step on the glass, staple your tongue (ahh)
Bury a friend, try to wake up (ah-ahh)
Cannibal class, killing the son (ahh)
Bury a friend, I wanna end me
I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna end me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

Lyrical Journey
MEANING OF THE SONG
In 2019 interview with UMusic, Eilish said the song was written from the standpoint of the “monster under” her bed. Here are Eilish’s explanation of the meaning of “bury a friend”:
“When we made ‘Bury a Friend,’ and we finished it, that’s sort of when everything clicked in my head, and I just immediately knew what I needed everything about the album to be as like an overall theme, and just feeling. The title I feel portrays exactly what I was trying to say with this whole album. The whole album is basically supposed to be a bad dream, or a good dream. I also confess that I'm this monster, because I'm my worst enemy. I might be the monster under your bed, too."
-BILLIE EILISH
“Bury a Friend” is a track in which the subject of the song revolves back to Billie Eilish herself. In other words, the lyrics are sung from the perspective of another entity, specifically “the monster under” Billie’s bed. However, she goes on to state that this fearsome beast is indeed herself. In other words, she is singing to herself using the character of this monster as an external yet most-intimate voice.
The monster questions the nature of its relationship with Billie. For instance, it wonders why Billie isn’t afraid of it. In fact it goes on to state that Eilish actually cares for it. However, most of its thoughts seem to be based around negativity. It appears that this creature has put itself in an undesirable position that it cannot escape from. Indeed, its thoughts have become so disturbing that at times it considers self-harm
The inclination for this monster to harm itself is found in the post-chorus, where the singer repeatedly utters, “I wanna end me.” Since Eilish has stated that this fictional creature and she are actually one in the same, these lyrics apparently express a desire for Billie to terminate her own life. As such, the “friend” Eilish refers to in the title of the track, the close companion of the monster that it is addressing, is herself. In other words, Eilish sometimes has the desire to bury herself, as in commit suicide, with such a mindframe resulting in her being her “own worst enemy
Btw, Those creepy vocals you hear alongside Eilish’s are from an American singer named Crooks. Having said that, it’s noteworthy to point out that Crooks isn’t officially featured on the track.
