Counterparts - Only Anchors Lyrics






When you're reduced to living everyday
Carrying the weight of your conscience on your back,
Just know it can be lifted.
And you can be victorious in this war against yourself.
You've got the strength inside to turn this all around.
And I can only speak from experience,
The rest is up to you.
Whether you're stuck in the past,
Or lost in the future,
This is for you.
I'm standing my ground,
Living for right now.
And I'm finally free.
Only anchors can keep me from moving forward.

    What is the guitarist doing at 1:04 to create that sound? I've heard it in several songs now and have never been able to duplicate it.

    M.... F....

    Really? Is it just a fast sweep picking up?

    M.... F....

    They have been always awesome!

  11. B.... ....

    Seen these guys live last year so much energy live holy shit if you haven't seen them I recommend doing so

  12. z.... ....

    I remember hanging out with these guys before they were even signed when they toured with Volumes(Before they released VIA) Those guys are chill dudes, so happy on how much they progressed they sound more like Defeater now!

  13. R.... F....

    i agree with that. everyday

    19th september in Kraków ! can't wait !

  19. M.... J....

    Although I love the fact that Counterparts is such an underrated band, it would be nice to have more people that actually like this genre of music so i'm not like the only one within a perimeter of 100 miles that likes them. haha.

  20. S.... ....

    Dude, Your Demise aren't German... They're English

  21. J.... M....

    Anyone else think this is the bands best track? I absoloutley love it! :)

  22. D.... ....

    Well in defense, that comment he made was over a year ago. I would agree though that besides Mitch Lucker, that band did not have that much going for them music wise. Yes, they had a big following and they put on great live shows but while listing to their albums I often found myself looking for more. Outside of they new album the other two would seem too blend together to much for my taste. But I suppose that's kind of what Suicide Silence is/was about, straight up brutal.

  23. K.... H....

    Thats a matter of opinion. These guys are decent but, I like SS more.

  24. O.... ....

    if they suck that much can you tell me why this is one of the most known hardcore band out there even if the singer is dead ?

  25. h.... ....

    They will be on Tour in the UK with Heights , Fact and german beatdown/posthardcore band Your Demise ;)

  26. M.... ....

    hah yeah.

  27. N.... N....

    does anyone know where i can buy this album? couldn't find it on Amazon :-(

  28. I.... ....

    too soon

  29. K.... W....

    "only anchors can keep me from, MOVING FORWARD!"

  30. S.... ....

    no they dont :( they were good as hell IMO. keyword, were :(

  31. C.... ....

    Favorite band<3 Need to see them again :3

  32. M.... H....

    People have drawn the conclusion that Counterparts is a mix of Melodic Hardcore and Metalcore. But it's mostly Melodic Hardcore. However I think it should just be called "Awesome music".

  33. N.... F....

    it's honest music, theres your genre

  34. a.... ....

    ya melodic hardcore/metalcore/hardcore punk whatever goes haha

  35. n.... ....

    not into this kind of music but the counterparts aren't too bad....anyone know what genre this is?

  36. M.... ....

    i'm learning this on the guitar right now

  37. R.... ....

    its more melodic hardcore, i think, but who cares wich genre it is! they are fucking sick! love their music! would like to see them live ><

  38. f.... t....

    you must have never seen them live then..believe me, they will change your mind after playing just one song!

  39. f.... t....

    WTF do u mean by "they suck" ??? few years ago i'm sure u were like "Fucking amazing band mitch screams are insaneee" !

  40. N.... N....

    sweet man XD

  41. J.... R....

    Counterparts, Gideon, Your Demise and Hundredth on the 13th. SO FUCKING STOKED

  42. S.... ....

  43. D.... P....

  44. H.... H....

  47. G.... R....

    wow. just discoverd the awesomenes of this group...early in the morning.

  48. T.... ....

    lol the pinch harmonic in the breakdown sounds just like it was made from guitar pro lmao :P 2:15

  49. J.... ....

    At last a hardcore band that deserves attention & success!

  50. J.... J....

    This first album is amazing! the new one...look like a bunch of generic mordern melohardcore stuff

  51. c.... c....

    this band is waaaaay to good for their label :0

  52. W.... ....

    I've been into this band for a year and I love all the songs they make. Please support band by buying their new album 'The Current Will Carry Us'. Try listening to the songs 'The Constant' and 'Uncertainty' on that album.

  53. B.... B....

    November 15th<3

  54. K.... G....

    Just started listening to them today. They are AMAZING! :) they made a new fan today!

  55. S.... ....

    They came to sudbury with structures and volumes. It was the best show ever.

  56. j.... ....

    only anchors can keep me from MOVING FORWARD OHH

  57. D.... ....

    @mystykdad what show?

  58. M.... H....

    @A7XForever09 For some reason I have always fallen in love with pretty unknown bands. I think there are a lot of great bands that should be really famous by now. About one year ago I couldn't stand growls. But know I listen to Silverstein and other post hardcore bands.

  59. L.... ....

    Can't get enough of these guys, admittedly I was bit ignorant of them to begin with after realising how unknown they are, but my god I'm proud to say I listen to this music. Fuck everyone else.

  60. R.... H....

    these guys are incredible. In my top 5 bands now - counterparts, for the fallen dreams, the ghost inside, it prevails and Heart in hand

  61. D.... F....

    GET THESE GUYS TO AZ (;

  62. N.... ....

    Pree Gord!!!
