Electrified
Gargantua Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Proud to be clean.
Cut jams like wolverines
On 24 tracks the wax of a storm.
Thor, God of Thunder hip a star was born.
Torn ripped apart with my art in my hand.
The band Jackie Chan is th Gargantuan
Soul hole in your guts now've been flled.
It's electrifying.
Frikity frackin black jack avengers... they're here.
Defenders of the faith all tempt a cheer.
The hills are alive with our funky sound of music.
Trendy track fuckin donut fiends don't refuse it.
Abuse it ya lose it. So thanks for the things.
The breath of fresh air is the sounds that we bring.
Klingons clinging, Gospel choirs singing.
The universe is smiling. God's number I be dialing.
The lyrics to Gargantua Soul's song "Electrified" are a tribute to the power of music and the sense of community it can create. The first verse speaks to the idea of a group of like-minded individuals coming together to make music ("super friends ascend to the scene"). The lyrics convey a sense of pride in being part of this group ("proud to be clean") and the energy they bring to the stage ("cut jams like wolverines"). The reference to "24 tracks" suggests a professional recording environment, while the nod to Thor ("God of Thunder hip a star was born") adds a mythic dimension to the proceedings. The next line, "torn ripped apart with my art in my hand", suggests that the act of creation can be a difficult, even painful process, but that it's ultimately worth it.
The second verse pushes the idea of community further, with references to "black jack avengers" and "defenders of the faith", both of which suggest a shared purpose or mission. The lyrics also playfully reference the classic musical The Sound of Music ("the hills are alive with our funky sound of music"), which adds a note of whimsy to the track. The line "trendy track fucking donut fiends don't refuse it" is a bit tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at the idea of chasing trends rather than creating something original. The lines "abuse it ya lose it" and "the breath of fresh air is the sounds that we bring" suggest that the act of creating something authentic and unique is its own reward. The final lines, "Klingons clinging, Gospel choirs singing/The universe is smiling/God's number I be dialing" is a celebration of diversity and the idea that music can transcend boundaries of culture and belief, bringing people together in a shared joy.
