jkz any recommendations for lyrics like 3:00 on as far as other counterparts songs or other bands? absolutely no clean vocals. lol. thanks m8 if you ever get back
jkz I actually love TLTSOL. I stay mostly in the deathcore realm but I heard this song and liked the lyrics. Thanks for the song/album recommendations, I'm a newbie to this band.
I unfortunately served over 5 years in prison due to heroin addiction and was lucky enough to be able to loan this album through a public library in Colorado. This album helped me get through a super rough patch in my life and I will always be grateful for that. I somehow got lucky enough to meet Brendan at a local hardcore venue in Colorado Springs when Counterparts was on tour about a year ago and he was definitely one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever talked to. Nothing but love 💪 🤘
I feel a very powerful connection with everyone in this comment section despite the fact that I haven't lived the same experience as you did at all. This music really does bring us all together. Stay strong my friends, and sorry for the cheesiness, but I mean it.
this is why i love music. ive always been the person who completely hides what im feeling.. ive turned into an emotionless and dead shell. i can only really express myself through other peoples expressions because im too afraid to be alone.. the feeling of finding someone who really empathizes with me is a feeling that i cant compare to anything else. the amount of happiness that i get from being around people who i can really connect with makes life so much better. letting go of those thoughts and feelings is the most liberating thing ever... UGH i hate sounding like one of those "music saved my life" kids... but its true.
Jesse! I miss you brother. still listen to this to this day... live right around the corner from where you used to live. hard to believe I was once so close with such a talented man.
I don't know what happened - and looking back I don't know how I made it this far in life. From broken promises, lost friendships, betrayed partnerships, poor families and lost minds - I made it up to having a loving family, a partner, dreams coming true and friends gathering around me. I was close to killing myself, but music like this helped me to understand, that I am not the only one who thinks this way. I just hope that these bands continue as long as they can. If they'd only knew, how many people they have saved. Thank you all, thank you for the love - thank you for the scene we had 10 years ago. Alot of us broken children became grown, solid and strong women and men.
after looking up the lyrics to their songs I realized that I can connect on an emotional level with their lyrics.Ive felt this way so many fucking times. They get it and tell it how it is. Cant believe i just listened to them, can't wait to be part of that crowd one day
I'm actually going to see Counterparts, real friends every time I die gnarwolves and I think there is another band. But I'm really fucking excited Bc I just discovered Counterparts and fell in love
Every band has that one music video that's just them performing and life off and back stage. Nothing wrong with it but every band has that one music video.
3:10 on randomly popped in my head, haven't listened in a few years but I was still able to place the song immediately. so nostalgic, still one of the best songs
Lyrics All of our lives we’ve been told what to believe Nothing is perfect so what’s the point of purpose? The line that separates the weak from us who truly care Is one I don’t intend to cross. The heart of man beats but only in greedy hands And it seems that most are still content. Where most are comfortable accepting insignificance we strive to find the effort within If you open up your eyes, and open up your mind You we be exposed to a world as cold as those who are left to populate it Two decades spent swallowing lie after lie has sparked a fire in my heart and the time has come to spread the flame We can’t continue wasting time Day after day trying to find a new means of escape We can’t continue wasting time, day after day We do this day after day We do this day fuckin' day And I can’t face the disconnect I’ll shed the dead weight and rise And I can’t face the disconnect I’ll shed the dead weight and rise I never thought that I would need to justify a reason To continue in this life I lead I fucking hate the world, I fucking hate myself. I fucking swore I’d never feel like this I hate the world, I hate myself. I hate the world
This band means everything to me. Everything from the actual music to the lyrics is nothing short of amazing. I hope they never break up and continue to inspire me everyday. I fucking love you Counterparts
It's the pain and unhappiness that allows for such greatness. Without those feelings and emotions we wouldn't get the lyrics and emotions behind it all.
couple of years ago I can definitely relate and emphasize with the lyrics'I fucking hate the world, I fucking hate myself, I swear I would never feel like this.' Makes me emotional listening to this song especially from 3 minutes onwards towards the end.
I wish I had written this song. I mean written it down on paper. I've thought it to myself several times in different countries, at different points in my life.
saw counterparts live and when this song came on, half the people there crowded around Brendan during the part of the song that says "i fucking hate the world, i fucking hate myself etc.." and it was so fucking powerful.
I remember in oakland they had a sign saying "dont climb onto the stage" but when this part came up we all just went up and swarmed brendan it was awesome
holy shit. I just got out from my 3rd time in the psych ward and still visiting this. A close friend chelsea i met there introduced me to them and i havent heard from her in weeks. Chelsea if youre reading this, i miss you so much
stay fair, this is emo. emo is not a trend, its being emotional with everyone and this world. and nothing is bad about emo, everyone who's listening to this, is not a person living the best life. this is real, and honest. i hate it when someones listening to stuff like this but uses "emo" as an insult.
Counterparts - The Disconnect All of our lives we've been told what to believe "Nothing is perfect" So what's the point of purpose? The line that separates the weak from us who truly care, is one I don't intend to cross The heart of man beats but only in greedy hands And it seems that most are still content Where most are comfortable accepting insignificance We strive to find the effort within If you open up your eyes, and open up your mind You we be exposed to a world as cold as those who are left to populate it Two decades spent swallowing lie after lie, has sparked a fire in my heart And the time has come to spread the flame We can't continue wasting time Day after day trying to find a new means of escape We can't continue wasting time Day after day I do it day after day I do it day after fucking day And I can't face the disconnect I'll shed the dead weight and rise And I can't face the disconnect I'll shed the dead weight and rise I never thought that I would need to justify a reason To continue on in this life I lead I fucking hate the world I fucking hate myself I swore I'd never fucking feel like this And I hate the world And I hate myself I hate the world
I'm so disappointed I just barely found out about CounterParts because I absolutely love Melodic Hardcore 💜 Any other good bands like this that aren't really popular?
this fucking band, man. I forgot how this song used to be repeat on my way to work every goddamn day. definitely past that angst portion of my life but the lyrics still somehow hold true. gotta see these guys again.
saw these guys live in Tupelo Ms. It's crazy that i could run into a band from my families hometown of Hamilton all the way in Mississippi 19 hours away.
Eric Bazinet is the bass player for Counterparts and he was just saying that people keep asking "wheres ryan?" even though he left a long while ago. Ryan was the first drummer of this band but then he left,came back, then left again.
It's people like you, the close minded people, that would even think about saying that music is a product. Music has saved thousands of lives from a fate they would've regretted. So don't you dare say that music is a fucking product. It's my life, and the reason that I'm still here.
I respect your comments, don´t get me wrong I like new bands, I have 38 years old and I have heard HC since i was 15. It's just that the guys now seem to care only for the look and not to "change the world" if you know what I mean, I don´t want to sound like "in my times..", but most media corporations looking to make money of everything all the time and if it sells, they packaged, labeled and give the shit to swallow it.
I still can't find that live video when they say "if you wake up and hate the person you see in the mirror than this song is for you" and they play this one That was just something out of this world I never felt this kind of connection and I truly appreciate this
![Counterparts - "Love Me" + "Wings Of Nightmares" [Live]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FGBVT-N-Sz8/mqdefault.jpg)
That last part it always gets to me. Depression can be so lonesome. Thank you for everything Counterparts.

Awesome story hope you're doing well
Hope you’re back on your feet bro. Your past troubles don’t define who you are, remember that. All the love in the world to you, my dude ❤️
It’s so fucked up that there are countries in the world where you go to prison for heroin addiction. You needed help, not to be punished.
Hope you're doing well friend. Long live Counterparts
Love to hear it brother! Im fighting a fent addiction at the moment sht is ruf
I feel a very powerful connection with everyone in this comment section despite the fact that I haven't lived the same experience as you did at all. This music really does bring us all together. Stay strong my friends, and sorry for the cheesiness, but I mean it.
i get it
That’s a fact. Much love to everybody that reads this 🖤

You’re the man 🙏🏼
Things will not get strong, this is a common lie use to deflect.
What a classic, always takes me back man...

thankyoubasedgod I know it been 3 years. but i hope its better. but I feel you. it happens to the best of us :)
Still relevant! Music never changes we do
I feel you bro
It's been 6 years now, but I still hope you're doing good, man
This is what hardcore is all about
Jesse! I miss you brother. still listen to this to this day... live right around the corner from where you used to live. hard to believe I was once so close with such a talented man.
Doesn't matter how old you are or where you're at in life, this song will always be a hard hitting fucking banger.

Its definitely the most amazing part of this band and their performaces are so emotional and powerful....
If they play by a town close to you, TAKE that opportunity. I've seen them twice already and the atmosphere of their set is beyond amazing..
I'm actually going to see Counterparts, real friends every time I die gnarwolves and I think there is another band. But I'm really fucking excited Bc I just discovered Counterparts and fell in love
I’m still here after all these years like.. yes.
keep going
Every band has that one music video that's just them performing and life off and back stage. Nothing wrong with it but every band has that one music video.
Agreed. I find myself loving them though.
That is the truest thing I have ever read.
+podwaydoors You don't read much do you?
+Christian Ryle I know it's not a word mate. :) :) :) :)
Honestly man, I believe these are the perfect videos for this scene.
3:10 on randomly popped in my head, haven't listened in a few years but I was still able to place the song immediately. so nostalgic, still one of the best songs
This is hands down my new favorite band! This singer is a true lyricist !
Lyrics
All of our lives we’ve been told what to believe
Nothing is perfect so what’s the point of purpose?
The line that separates the weak from us who truly care
Is one I don’t intend to cross.
The heart of man beats but only in greedy hands
And it seems that most are still content.
Where most are comfortable accepting insignificance
we strive to find the effort within
If you open up your eyes, and open up your mind
You we be exposed to a world as cold as those who are left to populate it
Two decades spent swallowing lie after lie has sparked a fire in my heart
and the time has come to spread the flame
We can’t continue wasting time
Day after day trying to find a new means of escape
We can’t continue wasting time, day after day
We do this day after day
We do this day fuckin' day
And I can’t face the disconnect
I’ll shed the dead weight and rise
And I can’t face the disconnect
I’ll shed the dead weight and rise
I never thought that I would need to justify a reason
To continue in this life I lead
I fucking hate the world, I fucking hate myself.
I fucking swore I’d never feel like this
I hate the world, I hate myself.
I hate the world
i ate myself :(
And im upset!!!!
Thank you
What do you think of Counterparts?
Sucks
"What do you think of Counterparts?"
"SUCKS"
Lol gets me every time.
haha, man, do u like Hundredth?
This band means everything to me. Everything from the actual music to the lyrics is nothing short of amazing. I hope they never break up and continue to inspire me everyday. I fucking love you Counterparts

I've listened to this 100 times in a row. STAHP COUNTERPARTS.
I wish I had written this song. I mean written it down on paper. I've thought it to myself several times in different countries, at different points in my life.
just discovered this band and their sick, if you like them, you'll probably like defeater
True defeated is good. But defeated is a completely different genre and don't write much metalcore stuff, if even at all.
Defeater *
+Tyler Hughes Both defeater and Counterparts are melodic hardcore.
Saw them live a few years ago, they were great!
Booker Amadio
saw counterparts live and when this song came on, half the people there crowded around Brendan during the part of the song that says "i fucking hate the world, i fucking hate myself etc.." and it was so fucking powerful.
same thing happened when i saw them :) i was lucky to be in the crowd around brenden and screamed with everyone it was magical.
I remember in oakland they had a sign saying "dont climb onto the stage" but when this part came up we all just went up and swarmed brendan it was awesome
javier flores who follows the rules at oakland metro lol
i heard about these guys in a psych ward, im so glad i met someone who got me into metal that wasn't just slipknot and suicide silence
holy shit. I just got out from my 3rd time in the psych ward and still visiting this. A close friend chelsea i met there introduced me to them and i havent heard from her in weeks. Chelsea if youre reading this, i miss you so much

Seen them play this live, and they have an narration at the beginning that just takes the song to another level of epicness
Hardcore will always be the most humbling music I'll listen to. Just makes me want to be a better person man. Always has.
pretty hardcore. their music definitely speaks out to me. Love everything they stand for. haha sound so lame, but true.
it's not lame bro
Avegadez it'll never be lame
It's not lame at all. It means the world.
Daniel P yea but this shit is different
Two decades spent swallowing LIE after LIE, Has sparked a fire in my heart.
I swore I'd never fucking feel like this.
+Corey Tuccelli I'm sorry for you
I feel like skating through the city while blasting this lol! I have a skateboard, but need to learn to skate
one of my favorites from Counterparts.
Kathryn i agree with you 100%, i wouldnt be here without music. music is my life!
8 years later i feel this more than ever
Word up

Counterparts - The Disconnect
All of our lives we've been told what to believe
"Nothing is perfect"
So what's the point of purpose?
The line that separates the weak from us who truly care,
is one I don't intend to cross
The heart of man beats but only in greedy hands
And it seems that most are still content
Where most are comfortable accepting insignificance

If you open up your eyes, and open up your mind

And the time has come to spread the flame
We can't continue wasting time
Day after day trying to find a new means of escape
We can't continue wasting time
Day after day
I do it day after day
I do it day after fucking day
And I can't face the disconnect
I'll shed the dead weight and rise
And I can't face the disconnect
I'll shed the dead weight and rise
I never thought that I would need to justify a reason
To continue on in this life I lead
I fucking hate the world
I fucking hate myself
I swore I'd never fucking feel like this
And I hate the world
And I hate myself
I hate the world
Felt. Hard. I always find myself coming back here.
I met these guys once. They were so freaking nice. c:
I'm so disappointed I just barely found out about CounterParts because I absolutely love Melodic Hardcore 💜 Any other good bands like this that aren't really popular?
if you don't know them, check out worthwhile

Heart in hand
Heaven Shall Burn.
Finally a new video..... This band is getting better and better.
this fucking band, man. I forgot how this song used to be repeat on my way to work every goddamn day. definitely past that angst portion of my life but the lyrics still somehow hold true. gotta see these guys again.
So much 2012 and 2013 memories starts flowing in by listening to this.
2020 and counterparts still the kings of metal core
Yay this band is going on tour with Architects :)
saw these guys live in Tupelo Ms. It's crazy that i could run into a band from my families hometown of Hamilton all the way in Mississippi 19 hours away.
First song I've listened to by this band and I can tell i'm gonna love them.
So what did you reckon of their other stuff?
this is THE best band. Ever. Everyone else can stop trying.
They're a really, really great band, but no where near to being the best one ever.
well i rank them 2nd after As I Lay Dying , on my list of top 10 bands
I'm not a hater, I love to see a new generation getting involved in something as interesting as hardcore movement.
I just found this and I need more
This album never gets old!
Counterparts4Life
This is an awsome video! finally not a cliché video of a band standing in the woods!
two more years for a century, keep it up guys
Cant wait to see you guys with Architects in February 2015! :D
This band just keeps getting better.
Great to see these guys getting more attention :) they deserve it
New album 2022 please?? Or I’ll just keep playing the old stuff on repeat and be just as happy haha
Brendan posted on twitter that the new album should be done. So it's definitely coming this year.
I hope...
The fact that I'm in this Music video makes me more than happy.
2:13 in Halifax
Damn. These lyrics still speak to me after a year. So good.
Eric Bazinet is the bass player for Counterparts and he was just saying that people keep asking "wheres ryan?" even though he left a long while ago. Ryan was the first drummer of this band but then he left,came back, then left again.
I saw them in leeds yesterday and i totally agree dude. Enjoyed these more than YD
I remember seeing them in Poughkeepsie with stray from the path, and structures in 2014 it was amazing.
I wish this guitar riff was made by me. So simple yet so original and REALLY powerful and dense.
Best guitar duo in the game!!!
Just saw these guys last night in Exeter (UK) :D awesome!!
was screamin this song at 16 still screamin it at 25
"Swallowing lie after lie has sparked a fire in my heart."
It's people like you, the close minded people, that would even think about saying that music is a product. Music has saved thousands of lives from a fate they would've regretted. So don't you dare say that music is a fucking product. It's my life, and the reason that I'm still here.
saw these guys last night in kitchener, killllled it. hopefully we can share the stage with these beasts someday!
See Counterparts with Sylar in Howell, NJ on Friday, December 13th at GameChangerWorld!
best band out there right, musically and lyrically perfect.
Really sweet guitar tone.
I can't wait to see them live next year ;')
this video reminded me why counterparts is my favorite band.
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD NEED TO JUSTIFY A REASON TO CONTINUE ON THIS LIFE I LEEEAAAAAAADDDDDD.
My favorite band right now along with Architects
This song always reflects my emotions. That ending always ignites a fuckin fire in my heart. God damn.

You know even though i got socked in the face at your show im so down to see you guys again.
Just found you guys and am loving it!
This video came out on my 18th birthday. Rad.
love you guys, always, keep doing yo thang!

Music is so much more than just a product.

Hell yes! im in the video haha! Buffalo with stray from the path!
some great shots from Halifax in there!

I bought a counterparts tour shirt from a thrift store and came here to see what their music was- this is NOT what I was expecting
Theres a lot of footage from their show in london ontario in september. I can see myself in the video
my all time fav band. the lyrics.
2021 still here.
Felicitaciones chicos, espero verlos algún día en un tour por suramerica.
This song is just great!
nice music
I still can't find that live video when they say "if you wake up and hate the person you see in the mirror than this song is for you" and they play this one
That was just something out of this world
I never felt this kind of connection and I truly appreciate this
Best band on earth
Did anyone else see the guy from stray from the path
yup !
Austin Grabill guys**
Structures too!
the thirst is real
Drew! You'll catch him a lot with Northlane and Architects too
