Motionless In White is gearing up to unleash their new record, Decades, on July 17, but first, they dropped an official music video for “R.I.P.” featuring Skylar Grey.
“Skylar’s voice brought it to another level that I never could have achieved on my own,” singer Chris Motionless says of the collab. “I really love the lyrics for this song. Even though I wrote it through a romantic lens, I love that it can be applied to any moment in your life when you’ve had a falling out with someone you deeply care about, whether that’s a best friend, family member, or romantic partner.”
The frontman adds, “The song really hones in on the deafening silence that follows after you’ve said hurtful things to one another that you wish you could take back. It’s meant to capture the tension that exists in that quiet space of separation. You want to apologize and make things right, but you don’t know how. You want to tell them you love them more than anything and can’t live without them, but there’s a lot of pain on both sides that has to be confronted first. All the while, you’re left with the crippling uncertainty of whether the relationship can ever recover and move forward, or if it’s destined to be laid to rest and gone forever.”
Check out the new collab below.
Motionless In White have not one, but two legs, for their upcoming Sweat And Blood Tour. After their run with Lorna Shore, Fit For A King, and Static Dress in the summer, you can catch them in the fall with Dayseeker, The Devil Wears Prada, and Dark Divine. Grab your tickets here.
