Marina & The Diamonds - Living Dead [2010 Demo] 

"Living Dead" was intended for die Life, Marina's original plan for her second album, it was subsequently changed to Electra Heart. Marina wrote a frustrated blogpost in April 2010 and ended it "Sick of not being free. Living Dead.
"Living Dead" details Diamandis's depression. She stated that she "wasn't very happy the first year of making the record," and her state of mind at the time inspired the song, going on to call the track "one of the more depressing songs" on the album.[5] Lyrically, it is about the feeling that you have not lived life to the fullest. Marina commented that the reason she was talking about death in it was because she was in a dark place.
[Verse 1]
Every day I feel the same
Stuck and I can never change
Sucked into a black balloon
Spat into an empty room
[Pre-Chorus]
Was it really worth it?
Did I really deserve it?
It happens when you're hurtin'
And cut me at the surface
Of my heart, of my heart heart heart
[Chorus]
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Only alive-live-live-live
When I pretend-tend-tend-tend
That I have died-died-died-died-died-died
I haven't lived life, I haven't lived love
Just bird's eye view from the sky above
I'm dead-dead-dead-dead
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Dead
[Verse 2]
Got bubble wrap around my heart
Waiting for my life to start
But every day it never comes
Permanently at square one
[Pre-Chorus]
When it's late at ni-ight
I'm so dissatisfi-ied
The weight of an empty li-ife
Will lessen in the moonlight
In the light, in the light-light-light
[Chorus]
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Only alive-live-live-live
When I pretend-tend-tend-tend
That I have died-died-died-died-died-died
I haven't lived life, I haven't lived love
Just bird's eye view from the sky above
I'm dead-dead-dead-dead
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Dead
[Middle Eight]
I lay back in a glittering mist and I
I think of all the men I, I could've kissed
I haven't lived my life, I haven't lived love
It's just a bird's eye view from, from up above
[Chorus]
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Only alive-live-live-live
When I pretend-tend-tend-tend
That I have died-died-died-died-died-died
I haven't lived life, I haven't lived love
Just bird's eye view from the sky above
I'm dead-dead-dead-dead
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Dead
[Outro]
Dead-dead-dead-dead
Only alive-live-live-live
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Only alive-live-live-live
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Only alive-live-live-live
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
I'm living dead-dead-dead-dead
Dead
