Mia Automata’s latest single “The Living Dead” is an imaginative and haunting track that showcases her talent as a songwriter and storyteller. The eerie atmosphere is created with Mia’s haunting vocals and the atmospheric instrumentation that evokes the feeling of being lost in a world that is half alive. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of feeling like a spectator in one’s own life, and the zombie movie references add an extra layer of metaphorical depth to the track. Mia’s unique blend of genres and influences makes “The Living Dead” an exciting and captivating listen. It’s a song that will stick with you long after it’s over, haunting you with its melody and lyrics.
There’s something so magnetic yet unsettling about this tune. It feels unnerving but also strangely revealing and captivating. You find yourself increasingly more drawn in while also being pushed away at the same time. It’s dark, dreary, but also filled with an undercurrent of yearning and hope.
“I want to be alive”.
