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.
Party Like a Human
General Elektriks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your crown
Your kingdom’s at your feet
Drink
The blood
No bitterness, just sweet
This Disco ball
Orbits a fire ball
The sun is us
Stars
Don’t sleep
They shine from dawn to dawn
Night
Is deep
You flicker then you’re gone
This thing
In the sky
Is just a fire ball
The sun is us
The sun is us
All in this room together
Party like a human
Look
For signs
Of magic in the beat
But all
You find
Is a life vest under your seat
A light
A whistle
A distant fire ball
The sun is us
The sun is us
A dream
Of love
Of 2 hearts mystified
A dream
Of hate
Anger 365
All hearts
Dancing
Around a fire ball
The sun is us
The sun is us
All in this room together
Party like a human
Lost on a rock
The lyrics from General Elektriks's song "Party Like a Human" convey a strong sense of empowerment and unity, along with a blend of celestial and human imagery. The opening stanza speaks of wearing a crown and being in control of one's own kingdom, symbolizing personal strength and self-assurance. The mention of drinking blood with no bitterness reflects a sense of indulgence and pleasure in life's experiences, emphasizing the sweetness and enjoyment of the present moment.
The imagery of a disco ball orbiting a fireball and comparing it to the sun hints at a cosmic connection and the idea that we are all part of something greater. The repetition of "The sun is us" suggests a unity and interconnectedness with the natural world and the universe. The mention of stars that shine from dusk till dawn reinforces the theme of endurance and resilience, with the night symbolizing both darkness and fleeting moments of existence.
As the lyrics progress, there is a shift towards a more introspective and contemplative tone. The search for magic in the beat and the discovery of a life vest under the seat metaphorically suggest a realization of one's own safety and security amidst the chaos of life. The mention of a dream of love and hate explores the duality of emotions and experiences that define human existence, with hearts dancing around a fireball symbolizing passion and intensity.
The repeated refrain of "The sun is us" serves as a grounding force throughout the song, reminding listeners of their connection to the universe and each other. The call to "Party like a human" is a celebration of humanity and a recognition of the shared experience of joy and hardship. The final line, "Lost on a rock," hints at a sense of existential uncertainty and the transient nature of life, encouraging listeners to embrace the present moment and find meaning in the interconnectedness of all things.

I am somewhat criticizing this song, but, I do love the song, but some moments trigger my OCD.
In the beginning, when the singers are walking out of the Cafe, there is nothing inside the building to prove its a Cafe, but, that doesn't mean I'm upset, it was supposed to be shown for a couple of shots.
In several frames, there is clipping, MOST noticeable at 1:35, but only if you take a real close look.
Also in that same part, the skeleton the man helps up is T-posed (meaning, it didn't have animations before the scene commenced.)
The models are stretchy and, imo, buggy, because they don't follow the props as they shift (Although, you would barely notice it.)
Now, on the topic of the song...
Its fire, I could listen to this for hours on end and not get bored of it.
I've listened to the extended(?) version, and this version, and I love em both. Chorus (Almost every time they say "Party like a human, yeah.") is amazing, specially the way the singing and the models are linked up (Although, its hard to tell who is singing in the cafe scene)
Overall, although the animation is buggy and wonky, the song is a good listen, and the animation is pretty good, with smooth transitions and modeling. If you're struggling to learn with the animation software General Elektric, there is nothing wrong with struggling, everyone struggles at something!
