Autumn, Emilie - Dead Is The New Alive Lyrics






Dead is the new alive
Despair's the new survival
A pointless point of view
Give in, give in, give in, give in
You play the game
You'll never win

Dead is the new alive
Life's only living rival
A casket built for two
Give in, give in, give in, give in
You play the game
You'll never win

So take me now or take me never
I won't wait
You're already late
So say goodbye or say forever
Choose your fate
How else can we survive?
Dead is the new alive

Dead is the new alive
A gothic play revival
The last act of the show
Give in, give in, give in, give in
You play the game
You'll never win

So take me now or take me never
I won't wait
You're already late
So say goodbye or say forever
Choose your fate
How else can we survive?
Dead is the new alive

What is day without a blessed night?
And what is peace without a blessed fight?
What is the day without a blessed night?
And what is peace without a blessed, blessed, blessed fight?

A quick taste of the poison
A quick twist of the knife
When the obsession with death
The obsession with death becomes a way of life

A quick taste of the poison
A quick twist of the knife
When the obsession with death
The obsession with death becomes a way of life

Alive, alive, alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Alive, alive, alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Alive, alive, alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Alive, alive, alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Dead is the new alive
Alive, alive, alive
Dead is the new alive
Alive, alive, alive
Alive
Dead is the new alive
Alive
Dead is the new alive

Dead is the new alive
Dead is the new alive
Dead is the new alive
Dead is the new alive
Dead is the new alive
Dead is the new alive
Dead is the new alive
Dead is the new alive

Autumn, Emilie Dead Is The New Alive Comments
  1. A.... D....

    Reminds of death becomes her so much

  2. V.... F....

    2:35 c'mon, that violin solo its the sound for the word 'perfection'

  3. m.... ....

    anyone else here from the onceler sex mix on spotify

  4. S.... S....

    Pretty good death worship. 👌

  5. S.... A....

    This song helped me realize how manipulative an ex of mine was, for guilting me with suicide.
    I left and as far as I know they're still alive. You can leave too.

  6. n.... m....

    Good this chick is hot but also one hell of a marylin Manson

  7. L.... O....

    Очі закриті?

  8. T.... 4....

    I remember spending like three hours trying to find the name of this song.

  9. B.... C....

    Fuck lindsey sterling. EMILIE is original.

  10. C.... H....

    She's a good singer and she's awesome, but Lindsey Sterling is a better violinist.

  11. D.... P....

    I remember this from SAW soundtrack. Amazing.

  12. S.... S....

    Dear people commenting that you like metal and also consider Emilie to be valid. You're not edgy. You're not special. Emilie isn't sitting around waiting for you to validate her as an artist. She's doing her thing and creating beautiful art regardless. You may be limiting yourselves to one type of music, but she shouldn't have to. She's not an artist because you declare her to be one. She's an artist because she is one.

    S.... S....

    SushiRoll Speaks it's not like they were genuinely insulting her

    S.... S....

    I think your takin it a lil personal cause her sound definitely is inspired by metal only women who can play the violin harder then any guitarist alive

    S.... S....

    Check out her earliest work. Where is the metal there??

  13. A.... L....

    Emilie Autumn has some serious contempt for anyone and everyone that romanticizes mental illness. She's really calling us out on our "obsession with death", the way stories and songs can trivialize suicide and suicidal people, and the extra respect that dead people can get over the living. I don't blame her- I share her view out of some bitter experience of my own.

    A.... L....

    Despite the fact that everyone I've met that likes her content does exactly that..? And the few that don't romanticize mental illness take comfort in victim culture, so it's pretty bad either way.

  14. H.... P....

    *_'This is so beautiful!'_*

  15. N.... ....

    Worth a shout out for the violin solo alone.

  16. w.... ....

    I love her voice so much

  17. K.... P....

    such high notes

  18. J.... a....

    Emilie Autumn is my queen ok? okay.

  19. f.... ....

    Its weird and cool. The backround sounds like its from a old video game.

  20. T.... S....

    Tim Burton is obsessed with death.

  21. d.... R....

    I cant believe i spent the last 5 hours listening to her music and youtube auto playlist didnt randomly add some unrelated songs to her mix. Amazing

    d.... R....

    You're right!

  22. M.... A....

    Here is a Headbanger listening Emilie Autumn

    M.... A....

    é nós

    M.... A....

    Marco Antonio Ruiz Leal grew up a metal head, still a metal head. EA is an exception that I love deeply.

  23. J.... K....

    this is Yuno in a song tbh

  24. E.... C....

    I have to thank you for being the only thing keeping me alive as well as awake while writing a 1500 word essay... Life saver!

  25. E.... R....

    I really want to like this song. But the singer sounds like a garbage disposal

    E.... R....

    Estrella Rose No her singing is greate wtf

    E.... R....

    Op, you have no taste and clearly no musical talent

  26. g.... g....

    Shining Sweden

  27. D.... S....

    I am a metalhead, and I think she's an artist.

    She really made beautiful songs.

    D.... S....

    Abigail Skye Stewart autism alert

    D.... S....

    in the music world they are the same ... and music is a form of art i would know due to the fact that im an artist in many ways and i also love music you should research a bit more before making comments little soul

    D.... S....

    people must alwasy criticize and send offenses even when somebody makes positive comments.

    Little soul ciu ddic a chella bucchin i mammt

    D.... S....

    She's unique. Her music, her style really talented and creative. Love her!

    D.... S....

    @Sapiodon Asshole alert.

  28. T.... L....

    This is one of those stereotypical Goth songs, and I love it~ <3 

    T.... L....

    Squorb Worb EA isn’t considered goth music though.

  29. T.... ....

    To see her and Lindsey Stirling together would be just ugh!!!!!!

    T.... ....

    omg that would be AMAZING

    T.... ....

    And Alexander rybak; look up his song leave me alone the Music video is amazing!

    T.... ....

    Both are utter goddesses. .

    T.... ....

    Lindsey is propped up by social media and other forms of popularity by a more base lot, who do understand or appreciate the more abstract, unique and skill that Emily brings. Lindsey may be more technical, but emily has much more diversity of skill, personality, and passion. And dont get me started on the differences of personality.

    T.... ....

    worst comment Ever.

  30. V.... ....

  36. S.... G....

    S.... G....

    +Serino The original commenter

    S.... G....

  38. O.... ....

    I read she's a girl but then she sounds like a man idk anywho the song is good lol

    O.... ....

    She's a girl, she just has a deep voice.(x

    O.... ....

    Yeah I still love her music though :)

    O.... ....

    What are you listening to? She sounds like a woman, to me. Haha!

    O.... ....

    Well now she does since I listened to this song often lol

  39. s.... ....

    this girl sounds like a boy or if it is a boy

    s.... ....

    She's not a it.

  40. M.... ....

    This chick scares the fuck out of me. That makeup really fucked my mind

  41. C.... ....

    Call me the first, but like this version more than the Manipulator Mix.

    C.... ....

    Cobolorum You're not the first. Most people prefer the original and respect that Emilie is a talented artist.

    C.... ....

    i like both versions :)

  42. R.... S....

    Can someone tell me why 'The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls' is like $250 online? Do I have to guy to a regular bookstore or will it be $250 there, too? I really want the book, but I don't have that much money to spend.

    R.... S....

    @Eugenia123345 ONLY!???? shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.....

    R.... S....

    @Ash Demon Kinkaid ikr

    R.... S....

    @Selina Kyle Finally,someone else who thinks that's a lot!XD 

    R.... S....

    +Ryuk Senpai u are senpai

    R.... S....

    Ryuk Senpai i stalked the store and managed to get my copy for $60.

  43. d.... ....

    her lyrics are insane, love them... But its not my type of music tho :/

  44. M.... S....

    I want to like her so bad. She fascinates me. Her violin skills blow me away. I just can't get into her music and her voice. I tried. I'm going to buy her book though. 

    M.... S....

    Don't force yourself to like something or someone. Just be you :)

    M.... S....

    you don't have to like her music! you can like a person without liking their music and vice versa. I still love you anyway :)

    M.... S....

    She has different styles for each song. Try From the Gutter to the Stars

  45. M.... A....

    she has inspired me to pick my violin back up and practise once again

    M.... A....

    I know right? She's the reason I started playing violin in the first place.

    M.... A....

    She made me buy one. Knowing nothing about instruments. I want to start!

  46. M.... A....

    good memories of a nice time <3<3

  47. T.... H....

    I love this song, but you have to admit, the Manipulator's mix is better than the original. 

    T.... H....

    I agree

    T.... H....

    Lol, it's not. This is so much better.

    T.... H....

    @Lumen Lumeno Well.. To each their own lol

    T.... H....

    @grtwhtbnr there are much better songs from Lacuna Coil. Also dont forget In This Moment.

    T.... H....

    @Crash Overide See what you did there? You complained that "there are much better songs" without actually listing any of their better songs.

    I agree that there are better songs that fans of the band enjoy more; I was appeasing to the more mainstream songs that they have hoping to appeal to a broader audience that may not have heard of them or have heard of them and havent heard them.


    You build attraction and curiosity before throwing the more intense stuff.

  48. S.... G....

    I LOVE YOU EMILIE >:D i fall asleep to i know where you sleep

    S.... G....

    I do too. That and Misery Loves Company.

    S.... G....

    ^_^ Yesh~

    S.... G....

    @CiaraCoffin i wuv dat

  49. B.... T....

Because i hear different Stuff.

  50. C.... M....

  55. D.... M....

  56. D.... M....

    Fix your name, then correct my errors. How about that?

  57. O.... J....

    Laugh out Loud.

  58. L.... ....

    Yes there is. *"Natzi" is grammatically unacceptable; the proper spelling is "Nazi".

  59. D.... M....

    There was no need for a "semicolon" in that sentence.

  60. S.... W....

    "I'm am"

    That makes no sense..And hunny, we're not emo, we're plague rats, we're soo much worse ;)

  61. D.... M....

    "Natzi" is grammatically unacceptable, the proper spelling is "Nazi".

  62. s.... c....

    fuck off TheGrammarNatzi -_-

  63. H.... L....

    This is the last time you're going to get a reply from me. I'm just saying that you're going to be wasting your time. I'll just delete everything you do from now on.

  64. H.... L....

    You seriously believed I thought "so" had 3 O's? You're fucking stupid.

  65. H.... L....

    This girl is sooo cool. C:

  66. C.... M....

    This song>>>>

  67. D.... L....

    I don't know, people, but this song makes me think about Hannibal Lecter.

  68. g.... ....

    Is this the original or a remix of it? Because this version sounds way more powerful (/watch?v=ICX5H2-GZ6E)

  69. D.... F....

    I'm with you on this one.

  70. l.... ....

    SCOOBY DOO YALL SCOOBY DOO YALL SCOOBY DOOBY DOOBY DOO YALL

  71. A.... T....

    This is really weird, but i like it, she's got a voice!

  72. S.... T....

    Why does everybody have to get SO offended about what anybody says... don't you see four people agreed with my comment? Look goodbye, not replying any more waste of typing, have dun typing back if you must. I'm sick of this chain mail. shut up and enjoy the music.

  73. S.... T....

    Pft well I'm not letting an idiot get to me you think I care if they say something back, I won't reply. I just simply put f u in the butt and left c: expecting nothing more of it.

  74. S.... T....

    my comment isn't as childish as theirs.

  75. S.... E....

    this song sets my life . <3

  76. a.... ....

    The thing about Emilie is, I can go months without listening to her. But once I do there's no turning back and the plague rat in me comes out full force XD I missed this song

    a.... ....

    Damn, this so true.

  77. J.... M....

    Check out Flotsam and Jetsam - 'no place for disgrace'
    The inspiration for the intro?

  78. R.... R....

    I remember my first time hearing this which seems like ages ago and I was thinking *omfg who is this godess im listening too! , thats really her playing the violin! no way!* I fell in love instantly and I think this was the first song I ever heard just randomly clicking on videos I think would be interesting lol I was bord proly

  79. S.... L....

    I hear the Manipulator Mix version of this song, I'm not usually a fan of remixes but I actually prefer that version

  80. S.... T....

    f u in the butt

  81. T.... S....

    To be honest, her music doesn't always suit me best. But her lyrics are probably the most amazing lyrics I've ever seen. She is really special.<3

  82. H.... ....

    @Cinnoney Not even close

  83. A.... W....
