Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Richard Cheese's "More Human Than Human" may first appear as an ode to a dystopian world where the singer is the "astro creep," "crawling dead," and "jigsaw man." However, a closer look at the lyrics reveals that the singer's aim is to rebel against this world's conventions and embrace their primal, animalistic nature. The singer yearns for "acid, suicide freedom of the blast" and to "tear into my heart," allowing them to feel human again. The repetition of "more human than human" suggests that being in tune with our primal instincts and desires makes us more human, rather than less.

The lyrics also touch on themes of consumerism and media saturation, describing the singer as an "electric head" and a "television," hinting at the overwhelming amount of digital and media consumption in modern society. The chorus-- "more human than human"-- is almost ironic, as it is a sentiment often attributed to machines and artificial intelligence, rather than humans. The antithesis suggests that humans have a deep desire to connect with their primal selves-- the desire for experiences like acid trips and suicide-- that is just as valid and essential as the desire for modern, technological advancements.
