Motionless in White

Lyrics

20 ContributorsQueen for Queen LyricsIf you wanna soar with vultures, you’ll have to swallow bone
The saint charade is over
Plastic royalty exposed
You wanna play the victim, to preach upon your throne

No semblance of virtue as your relevance erodes

We go queen for queen and move just like this

When you fall down
Will you back out
As you crawl through life with no crown?
Though you preach love, you package lies
Just a pawn in a kings disguise

I never said I’m perfect, there’s a guilt behind these eyes
So check me If it helps you fall asleep at night

Your skeletons are building
Your closet’s getting tight
Are you the prey or spider in the web of all your lies?

When you fall down
Will you back out
As you crawl through life with no crown?
Though you preach love, you package lies
Just a pawn in a kings disguise

You don’t know humble… though you play the role
Pockets of evergreen are your amphetamine
Please stop feeding what you can’t control

YOU'LL FALL
You’ll bend, you’ll break, (you’ll) trip over your “fame”
Be careful, or you’ll run your mouth off your face

When you fall down
Will you back out
As you crawl through life with no crown?
Though you preach love, you package lies
Just a pawn in a kings disguise

Don’t stop breathing in the chemicals
You don’t know humble… though you play the role
Pockets of evergreen are your amphetamine
Please stop feeding what you can’t control

About Queen for Queen

Motionless In White’s Queen for Queen uses the game of chess as an analogy to expose the deceitful and “fake” nature of certain individuals in our lives. The strong, empowered lyrics coupled with the smooth blend of instruments make for a powerful, captivating tune that will have you singing along in no time.

Graveyard Shift marked a new era for Motionless In White, with Queen for Queen leading the way as one of the album’s standout tracks. The band’s signature mix of alternative and metal sounds create a unique atmosphere that is both head-banging and introspective.

The lyrics of Queen for Queen highlight the band's frustration with people who play “mind games” and act as kings or queens in social situations, leaving others feeling expendable and used. The line, “I've never claimed insanity, why waste a part of me?” is a poignant moment of clarity that asserts the band's resolve not to play those games.

The hard-hitting musicality of the track is another aspect that sets it apart. With its intense drum beats, soaring guitar riffs, and passionate vocals, Queen for Queen is a song that begs to be turned up and blasted through the speakers.

The song’s chorus is particularly memorable with its haunting melody and catchy lyrics: “I'm not your friend, so forget, just let it go. I am your superior, king, queen on the throne.” These lines, delivered in the signature Motionless In White tone, make for a powerful impact.

Queen for Queen is also a great example of how Motionless In White approaches songwriting. As the band has stated in interviews, they often create songs that are open to interpretation, and their fans often find meaning in their music that the band themselves did not intend. This ability to connect with their audience emotionally while maintaining creative subtlety is a hallmark of the band’s approach to music making.

In the end, Queen for Queen is a hard-hitting tune that is both powerful and introspective, perfect for fans of Motionless In White, alt-metal, and metalcore in general.
