Cover art for Living Dead lyrics by Marina and the Diamonds

This song is pure quality. How am I the first to be commenting? Living dead is about being numb to the point where all that motivates you to live is knowing you're going to die. She seems upset that she hasn't experienced love, almost like this may hold some answers. it's thoughts of you not bird eye view! massively hilarious. It's a difficult one to work out, sometimes I think Marina is just purposefully trying to be obscure, cryptic and whacky but it's just not obscure, cryptic or whacky enough to warrant that and she sings with such passion I'm pretty sure her mind's in motion when she wrote it. She talks about emptiness around her, it's almost just like she wants to capture the essence of death to try and live her best but when she thinks about it she equates her life with that because it's the thought she is gunna die that she is in tune with not the thought that she's alive. She seems to feel that her life might be different has she done things differently, it hints at regret, but when she says she thinks of all the men she could have kissed when she pulls back a glittering mist or whatever I'm not sure if she means she wished she had or that it's just so irrelevant because she's just looking to the sky to fulfil her dreams. I mean I don't know, the song is just bad ass.
