“Cyberhex” by Motionless in White (ft. Lindsay Schoolcraft)
All things considered, what the lyrics of “Cyberhex” appear to be premised on is a concept like the onset of Armageddon. And there is more going on besides the usual ‘I’m willing to face the end of the world with you by my side’ kind of motif we usually find in such songs. That is to say that even against the backdrop of a world gone awry, it is obvious that the vocalist has strong romantic feelings for the addressee.
What does “Cyberhex” mean?
Regarding what the term “cyberhex” is meant to allude to, as explained by Chris Motionless such would actually be a reference to Motionless in White and their fandom. Beyond that, it is clear that said terminology points to the concept of a united humanity, i.e. likeminded individuals akin to the vocalist and addressee teaming up to stave off impending doom.
And once again going back to Chris’s explanation, said sentiment is founded in a personal spat of depression he recently went through. As detailed, this depression was likely exacerbated by the real-life global nightmare known as the COVID-19 pandemic.
So in conclusion, perhaps changing the trajectory of history is an ambition that the vocalist cannot realistically fulfill. But in the meantime, he has found genuine solace via his love for the addressee.
