Motionless In White - Thoughts & Prayers from their latest album 'Disguise'

One question in particular which podcast host Browny asked regarding a song on the album called ‘Thoughts And Prayers‘ (which has since been announced as their next single) got Chris worked up as he went into detail explaining what it was about and the idea behind it. Turns out it’s about how fucked religion is and how it is always usually involved with any of the tragic events that happen around the world (more notably, gun control issues in the United States) and Chris was very passionate about talking about his disapproval of it:

“When I started working on the lyrics to that song, that’s where it was head primarily [Gun control/violence], but as I was working on it, I was like ‘oh my’ there’s just so much more about what religion means in our country and how I feel that it’s contributing to such a downfall progression of not just our country but the world globally”

He goes on to say the song isn’t an attack on religion itself, but he does acknowledge how it is always in the way or linked to certain events around the world:

“It’s my commentary on the very evil ways that it’s used” – Chris Motionless on ‘Thoughts and Prayers’

“[Religion is] constantly in the way of all of these major, major decisions that are made globally that I think it doesn’t have any fucking place in… It’s definitely something that I feel like [has] been polarising since the beginning of time and people either agree or disagree with it and it’s just really upsetting that the people who agree with it seem to be the ones here that rise to power and get to dictate what everyone has to follow…”
