Creatures

Motionless In White - Creatures

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX1egjG_3NE


This song was created by Motionless In White and their fans. This song is a ''dedication'' to their fans and was compiled from the lyrics that fans sent to the band.
This music video attracts me because it has a deep meaning and concept, but for some people could be just a mix of meaningless and, sometimes offensive and twisted things. For me, this music video and the song are art. It explains by itself.
Paying attention to the lyrics we can see lifestyles related to ''rejected people'' (e.g. goths, emos, and more) and how they feel, but the band clarify the message saying: ''We are the damned, the cursed and the broken/There's so much more inside us/We are the lost, the sick and unspoken/There's so much more inside us'', saying to them that they are not alone, that the band understands them. We can see too, that they demonstrate that people as goths can make good music, breaking stereotypes.

Personally speaking, this song is one of my favorites, and as I said this video is art. If we can just listen to the music and not judging people because how they look, this world would be different.

  1. I got mixed feelings with the video... perhaps too visual and strong for my taste. I liked the lyrics, though.

  2. sometimes they can be offensive and ''crazy'' but this kind of music, if you look beyond the visual stuff, in general it has a reason and message.
