Aesthetically, GE is a project that refuses to land in a particular bin at the record store. A mix of vintage sounds, hip hop beats, noir riffs, dreamy vocals, cinematic arrangements and digital twinkle, ‘Cliquety Kliqk’ embraces all of RV’s musical addictions. Radically new yet strangely familiar, General Elektriks is like a friend that you meet for the first time but feel like you’ve known all your life.
Never Can Get Enough
General Elektriks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta keep doing the things we do
Can’t stop doing the things we do
Never can get enough, no, never can get enough
You know we can’t
People tripping never wanna come down
Mad horse racing never wanna slow down
Never can get enough
Leader ruling never gonna step down
Player balling never gonna tone down
Gambler waging never gonna back down
Never can get enough
When I see your eyes, I know the reason why
Never can get enough, no, never can get enough
Gotta keep doing the things we do
Can’t stop doing the things we do
Never can get enough, no, never can get enough
You know we can’t
Satiation, we don’t know
Saturation, we don’t show
Ravers raging never wanna wind down
Fire blazing never wanna die down
Guru preaching never wanna tone down
Never can get enough
Traders raking in never gonna come down
Tension rising never gonna drop down
Planet spinning never gonna slow down
When I see you eyes, I know the reason why
Never can get enough, no, never can get enough
Gotta keep doing the things we do
Can’t stop doing the things we do
Never can get enough, no, never can get enough
You know we can’t
Satiation, we don’t know
Saturation, we don’t show
The lyrics of General Elektriks's song "Never Can Get Enough" delve into the theme of insatiable desires and relentless pursuits in life. The repetition of the phrase "Never can get enough" reinforces the idea that certain behaviors, habits, or obsessions are deeply ingrained and seemingly impossible to satisfy. This sentiment is captured through the lines "Gotta keep doing the things we do, Can’t stop doing the things we do," indicating a perpetual cycle of engagement in these activities or mindsets.
The verses paint a vivid picture of individuals across various contexts who are consumed by their passions or ambitions. The references to "People tripping never wanna come down" and "Mad horse racing never wanna slow down" illustrate a sense of urgency and constant momentum in their actions. Similarly, phrases like "Leader ruling never gonna step down" and "Player balling never gonna tone down" suggest a refusal to relinquish control or diminish intensity, highlighting an unyielding drive within these characters.
The chorus, with its lush harmonies and dynamic delivery, serves as a powerful refrain emphasizing the impossibility of attaining satisfaction or contentment. The juxtaposition of conflicting forces, such as "Satiation, we don’t know, Saturation, we don’t show," further underscores the dichotomy between the hunger for more and the inability to display or express fulfillment. This internal conflict is mirrored in the portrayal of individuals who are always on the move, whether it be "Ravers raging never wanna wind down" or "Guru preaching never wanna tone down," suggesting a restlessness that pervades their existence.
The ultimate realization in the lyrics comes in the lines "When I see your eyes, I know the reason why," hinting at a deeper connection or understanding that transcends the surface-level pursuits depicted earlier. It implies that despite the endless striving and relentless pursuits, there is a profound recognition or acknowledgment that drives these characters forward. Overall, the song encapsulates the eternal quest for more, the frenetic energy of unfulfilled desires, and the underlying motivations that fuel our relentless pursuit of that which always seems just out of reach.
