Mimi Barks unveils dark new single, DEADGIRL

Following on from February single RAD and a UK tour supporting Saint Agnes, Mimi Barks has unveiled a gripping new single, DEADGIRL.

Out now via Silent Cult and with a suitably dark accompanying video, DEADGIRL sees the doom-trap star continuing on her path of being one of the most interesting new artists around right now.

In the March issue of Kerrang!, Mimi explained that, "My music is a little bit of everything. I am a little bit of everyone. For some people, I'm weird. For some people, I'm interesting. For some people, I'm extraordinary. My music is not for the oblivious, it's for those who are trying to see into their deepest darkness…"

Read the lyrics below:

I wanted to end it all
You asked me how the darkness tastes like
The answer – for your blindness
They spoke in tongues and blurred my vision
Now I own the fear and the past is the gasoline

Ain’t nothing but the truth
I’m a dead girl
Watch me bleed black
Descendant from a sad world
Anti-phoenix, disintegrate to dust
I’d do my demons and call it love

Ain’t nothing but the truth
I’m a dead girl
Watch me bleed black
Descendant from a sad world
Anti-phoenix, disintegrate to dust
I’d do my demons and call it love

Blood stains on my chest
Put holes in my innocence
It’s what I got taught
It’s how it’s always been

Wear ‘em chains on my collarbone
Representing my soul
Repressed for too long
Destination unknown

I just need to get my head straight
I just need to get my head straight
I just need to get my head straight
I just need to get my head straight

Let it happen and ignore the fact that we’re cursed
(I just need to get my head straight)
Drown your empathy in misery, control how it hurts
(I just need to get my head straight)
Ignore your consciousness
(I just need to get my head straight
I just need to get my head straight)

Let it happen and ignore the fact that we’re cursed
Drown your empathy in misery, control how it hurts
Ignore your consciousness
Fall asleep with your ever fading love
It’s just you and your shadow now
Walking the alleyway of your deepest dark

I make you high like Fizzle Rocks

I make you high like Fizzle Rocks
Treat your crotch in my drop top
I fuck you like an exorcist
Buried with a kiss
You got one wish

Ain’t nothing but the truth
I’m a dead girl
Watch me bleed black
Descendant from a sad world
Anti-phoenix, disintegrate to dust
I’d do my demons and call it love

Ain’t nothing but the truth
I’m a dead girl
Watch me bleed black
Descendant from a sad world
Anti-phoenix, disintegrate to dust
I’d do my demons and call it love

Ain’t nothing but the truth
I’m a dead girl
Watch me bleed black
Descendant from a sad world
Anti-phoenix, disintegrate to dust
I’d do my demons and call it love

Ain’t nothing but the truth
I’m a dead girl
Watch me bleed black
Descendant from a sad world
Anti-phoenix, disintegrate to dust
I’d do my demons and call it love

(dead girl, yeow)
Worm girl, such a pathetic vulnerable creature
(dead girl, yeow)
I declare your hate my cocoon
Got stabbed in the back too many times
(dead girl, yeow)
Through it all I became this thing
I came out of the other end of it
(dead girl, yeow)
Lost a lotta humanity
Lost a lot of my feelings
But now I’m my own God
And I believe in nothing but pain
