Counterparts - Goodbye, Megaton Lyrics






Our city lies in ruins and our livelihood is next
Left to build from decay with the whole world crashing down around you.
'How the fuck could we let this happen?'
And no answers come to mind.
We're caught in a steady decline and there's no deterrent.
Oh, the aftermath could bring you to your knees.
Guilt is starting to dissolve you from the inside out.
And you're grasping at your last chance for salvation,
And it's on its way.
This is our own world,
And its up to us to decide our own fate.
And even though change may be unavoidable,
It's up to us to emerge from the bottom of the barrel.
As a whole, we can impact mankind for the better.
And the earlier we realize this,
He sooner we can reassemble our lives.
Now is our chance to rebuild.

  1. m.... ....

    1:58 sounds like ABR

  2. B.... B....

    Our city lies in ruins
    And our livelihood is next
    Left to build from decay
    With the whole world crashing down around you
    How the fuck could we let this happen?
    And no answers come to mind
    We're caught in a steady decline
    And there's no deterrent
    The aftermath could bring you to your knees
    Guilt is starting to dissolve you from the inside out
    And you're grasping at your last chance for salvation
    And it's on its way

    This is our own world
    And its up to us to decide our own fate
    And even though change may be unavoidable
    It's up to us to emerge
    From the bottom of the barrel
    As a whole, we can impact mankind for the better
    And the earlier we realize this
    The sooner we can reassemble our lives
    Now is our chance to rebuild

  3. B.... M....

    2:12 CHAOS!

  4. T.... G....

    still going strong this album love it!

  5. S.... R....

    My Oldest Memory ... goodbye 18yo ..

  6. T.... M....

    1:00 is total perfection

  7. K.... ....

    gupper chubbers!

  8. N.... L....

    FUCK MEGATON

  9. M.... M....

    Can't even hear the drums during the breakdown. Other then that it's a pretty bad ass song.

  10. M.... ....

    Way to disgrace Fallout's legacy with generic metalcore. Hot Topic and Gamestop combined?

    *August Burns Red/10*

    M.... ....

    Lol, not even metalcore. 

    M.... ....

    Hello mr goat!!!!

    M.... ....

    +MetalliDeth1223 August Burns Red isn't in any way generic.

    M.... ....

    hahahahaha dude did you even know what you where talking about?

    M.... ....

    Haha some metal elitisist

  11. S.... V....

    3:30 onwards is beautiful

  12. J.... J....

    480p <3

  13. J.... B....

    But the song has a direct correlation to Fallout with the lyrical content..?

  14. S.... ....

    The song isn't about Fallout 3 at all. Brendan just happened to be playing lots of Fallout at the time of writing these lyrics and thought he'd name it this...

    S.... ....

    That doesnt make any sense.

    S.... ....

    @Chace Sockey who cares

  15. T.... G....

    Because f*** Megaton thats why

  16. T.... K....

    I can't believe there's a song about Fallout 3.
    It's my absolute favorite game evaaarh.

  17. C.... D....

    SSblind73!!!!

  18. T.... S....

    Someone obviously had a very low Karma...

  19. a.... ....

    Counterparts always makes me wanna throw down

  20. T.... R....

    I seen Counterparts play a few weeks ago in Norman, OK and before the show they were just hanging out outside so I made sure to ask Brendan if "Goodbye Megaton" actually related to Fallout. He said "Ya of course, the lyrics have nothing to do with the song but when we were writing it a friend had me play fallout 3 so I just named it that"

  21. E.... ....

    All of the songs from this album have a brilliant mix of heavy and melodic sound. They deserve so much more attention! There should be a couple zeros added at the end of the view number.

  22. P.... P....

    melodic hardcore

  23. C.... P....

    hm . . . hardcore ? or softcore . . .

    C.... P....

  34. M.... H....

    @Gurkmassa Haha, exactly the same for me. I didn't want to listen to it since it didn't sound serious enough. Then I heard that it actually was a hint to the town Megaton from Fallout 3 and that made the song title even more awesome xD

  35. 9.... ....

    @budznsudsallnite nope

  36. B.... M....

    I used to play fallout,
    then I took a Skyrim to the knee.
