Juliane Viktoria Not Afraid to Die: A Spectral Descent Into Existential Clarity
Danish artist Juliane Viktoria’s latest single Not Afraid to Die is a reverb-drenched odyssey through the shadowed corners of depression.
Her distinct and melodic vocals float atop melancholic piano chords, creating a soundscape that feels like witnessing dawn through fog.
“I can’t sleep at night / ‘Cus I wonder what I do here,” she confesses in the opening verse, immediately establishing the track’s existential weight.
The production’s atmospheric reverb and subtle organ swells weave through the arrangement, while electronic textures drift in and out, creating a space between wakefulness and dreaming.
The song’s most arresting moment arrives in its bridge: “The grass in my dreams is bright like diamonds / A raspy voice, as clear as a violin.”
Here, Viktoria’s delivery shifts from resignation to wonderment, suggesting that comfort with mortality isn’t necessarily darkness—it might be illumination.
Not Afraid to Die isn’t depression romanticised but examined through a glitch-pop prism.
The spectral organs and electronic flourishes turn vulnerability into something unshakable, haunting yet unflinchingly honest.
Viktoria has crafted a lo-fi elegy that paradoxically brims with life—a meditation on fragility wrapped in a sound that hovers between presence and absence.
Let it wash over you—stream it now.

Juliane Viktoria Not afraid to die Lyrics
I can’t sleep at night
Cus I wonder what I do here
I do feel inside
There’s a reason why I be here
I read something about human types
That some people never settle in life
I wonder is it why
That I’m not afraid to die
Mhhhh
That I’m not afraid to die
Mhhhh
That I’m not afraid to die
I don’t wanna leave
But there’s something that i long for
Someone above this place
I used to call my home
I read something about human types
That some people never settle in life
I wonder is it why
That I’m not afraid to die
Mhhhh
That I’m not afraid to die
Mhhhh
That I’m not afraid to die
The grass in my dreams is bright like diamonds
A raspy voice, as clear as a violin
When I’m there i never wanna leave
I wonder is it why
That I’m not afraid to die
The grass in my dreams is bright like diamonds
A raspy voice, as clear as a violin
When I’m there i never wanna leave
I wonder is it why
That I’m not afraid to die
Mhhhh
That I’m not afraid to die
Mhhhh
That I’m not afraid to die
