Disguise

Motionless In White's song 'Disguise' delves into the internal struggle of identity and the facade one may present to the world. The lyrics speak to the experience of feeling lost within oneself, creating a 'disguise' as a means of protection or to conform to external expectations. The repeated lines 'I found myself by losing hope / I lost my way to find a home / I hid myself to stay alive' suggest a journey of self-discovery that comes from reaching a low point and realizing the need to confront one's true self, rather than hiding behind a mask.

The aggressive tone and language of the song, characteristic of the band's metalcore style, convey a sense of frustration and desperation. Phrases like 'Sick of wearing a mask / Sick of hiding my face' and 'I will not become the mask, fear is not my fate' indicate a rejection of inauthenticity and a determination to face one's fears and true emotions. The song's chorus, 'Now I’m ready to face my disguise,' signifies a turning point where the individual is prepared to shed their protective layers and embrace their genuine identity.

Culturally, 'Disguise' resonates with listeners who feel pressured by societal norms or personal circumstances to conceal their true selves. The song's message encourages self-acceptance and the courage to stand against conformity. It's a powerful anthem for those who are tired of pretending and are seeking to reclaim their authenticity in a world that often demands compromise.
