about

Mali takes a sharp turn, leaving behind the echoes of lost love to delve into the realities of addiction in her new single ‘Semi Automatic Butane’. The result is a gritty sounding alt pop anthem drawing parallels between the intoxicating grip of compulsive behaviour and the trigger-happy impulses within us all. The track pulsates with a raw, visceral energy intertwining punchy rhythms and a hooky melody to create an edgy, rebellious track.

lyrics

Play it closer to the chest
I must confess
It does exactly
What it says in the finer print
You’ll take the hint
And do it anyway

You’d take it up a notch
And I can’t bare to watch

I’ll have you know that I’m a sinner to your sacred views
You must be absolutely insane
With none to gain
From all this
Dramatic
Semi automatic flame
Don’t say it’s just a matter of time
And you’re a slave to all this
Dramatic semi-automatic butane

Put your limits to the test
It’s house arrest
And your prison is a
State of mind that you could escape
It’s real estate
With no room left to give

In trying to survive
We all forget to live

I’ll have you know that I’m a sinner to your sacred views
You must be absolutely insane
With none to gain
From all this
Dramatic
Semi automatic flame
Don’t say it’s just a matter of time
And you’re a slave to all this
Dramatic semi-automatic butane

Hold on to life
Hold on, don’t die on us
Try not to
Hold on to life
Hold onto lies

Hold on to life
(Dramatic, semi automatic)
Hold on, don’t die on us
Try not to

Hold on to life
(Dramatic, semi automatic)
Hold on, don’t die on us
Try not to
(Dramatic, semi automatic butane)
