America

Motionless In White's song "America" is a scathing critique of contemporary American society, highlighting its moral and ethical decay. The lyrics paint a grim picture of a nation where people resort to medication to escape their realities and strip off their dignity to pay bills. The line "We take off our clothes to pay for the bills" suggests a society where financial desperation leads to compromising one's values. The mention of downloading content leading to a sentence and free murder in Hollywood Hills underscores the paradoxes and injustices prevalent in modern America.

The chorus, spelling out "A M E R I C A," juxtaposes the idea of America as the "Home of the free" with the reality of it being a place for the "sick and depraved." This stark contrast questions the true state of freedom and morality in the country. The song criticizes the glorification of superficial pop stars and the lack of intelligence in public discourse, asking, "Where's the intelligence?" This line reflects a frustration with the cultural and intellectual decline.

Further, the song addresses economic issues, such as high oil prices leading to reliance on fast food, symbolizing a society that prioritizes convenience over health. The lyrics also touch on the obsession with social media, where people "upload our status to beg for attention," while the elite enjoy their privileges. The repeated phrase "Still living in one big nightmare" and the plea for divine intervention, "God save the human race," emphasize a sense of hopelessness and urgency for change. The song's raw and confrontational tone serves as a wake-up call, urging listeners to reflect on the state of their society and their role within it.
