Nothing Above releases August 16 as Us In Motion’s debut record. Each song has its own cinematic story, drawing from real-life scenarios in the lives of the members.
Of the single, Grant says, “Romantics is about losing a loved one or partner. It’s not necessarily about grieving the person; it’s about how you handle the trauma and how you react to it as a whole. Do you blame yourself? Others? Do you take it out on yourself to the point of losing your own life, or do you find a way to suppress it and move on? All of these songs on this record are written into their own stories which reflect real life scenarios that happened to me in my life.“
“‘Romantics’ was an opportunity for the band to be open with one another and to find comfortability in something as painful as the loss of a loved one,” the band says. “We hope this song resonates as much with our fans as it does with us.”
Nothing Above was recorded with Josh Schroeder at Random Awesome Studio.
“Romantics” was directed by Kenton Scott, with creative direction from Grant Bastin and Destiny Keller, and edited by Errick Easterday.

The Witch
Us in Motion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you forgive yourself?
I lay here patiently
Will you remember me?
Whispering echoes at night
You’re searching for voices you cannot find
It’s in your mind
The coven remembers my name
But the stench of the blood will remain
Until you find it out
Would you forgive yourself?
I lay here patiently
Will you remember me?
Can you see the signs?
I pray to feel alive
But the things that they have done
Prove a vacancy above
Can I break the hex and find a way?
To never ask and never tell
Until you find it out
Would you forgive yourself?
I lay here patiently
Will you remember me?
I feel you in my skin
Controlling everything
I lay here patiently
Will you remember me?
I see the marks
And it feels like I’ve been here before
Please start the ritual
Cos its time I finally say goodbye
I lay here patiently
Will you remember me?
The lyrics of Us in Motion's song, The Witch, seem to be about someone who has been hurt by someone else and is now seeking closure or a resolution. The recurring question of "will you remember me?" suggests that the singer is worried about being forgotten or not being important enough to leave a lasting impact on the person who hurt them. The line "the coven remembers my name" implies that the singer has a reputation or history that they are associated with that is beyond their control. The witch mentioned in the lyrics is perhaps a metaphor for the pain that the singer is feeling, and the stench of the blood that remains may represent the lingering trauma or hurt that they are dealing with.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of control and power, as the singer talks about feeling controlled by someone else ("I feel you in my skin, controlling everything") and wanting to break free from their influence ("Can I break the hex and find a way?"). This could speak to the larger theme of abuse or manipulation, and the struggle to find autonomy and freedom from these negative experiences.
Overall, the lyrics of The Witch seem to be a poignant expression of pain and the search for closure after experiencing trauma. The use of metaphor and imagery adds depth and complexity to the emotions being conveyed.

Will you remember me?
Will you hold onto my memory?
Whispering echoes at night
You hear things that aren't there.
You’re searching for voices you cannot find
You're grasping for meaning that isn't there.
It's in your mind
It's all in your head.
The coven remembers my name
The group of witches knows me well.
The witch has a way to take the pain
The sorceress knows how to make the hurt go away.
But the stench of the blood will remain
The memory of violence won't go away.
Can you see the signs?
Can you read the warnings?
I pray to feel alive
I'm hoping for a second chance at life.
But the things that they have done
The harm that they caused me.
Prove a vacancy above
There's a void where my faith used to be.
Can I break the hex and find a way?
Can I escape from this curse and start anew?
To never ask and never tell
To live in ignorance and silence.
I feel you in my skin
I can sense your influence over me.
Controlling everything
You're manipulating my actions.
I see the marks
I recognize the signs of danger.
And it feels like I’ve been here before
This situation is familiar, but not comforting.
Please start the ritual
It's time to take action against the witch.
Cos its time I finally say goodbye
Because it's time to let go and move on.
I lay here patiently
I'm ready to face whatever comes next.
Will you remember me?
Will my memory live on?
