Counterparts - Rope Lyrics






Portraits of hope
Reflecting of a blade that bears my name
Hanging inches from my head
There is no light bright enough to bring my shadow back to life

A presence that the fortunate weren't predisposed to feel
My seance of surrender will fall upon deaf ears
Promises I have disowned appear before me
Resembling the outline of my soul

Unravel me, every sentence makes me sick
Bound and abandoned by a noose that lifts me off my feet
Hanging like a halo overhead
I knew your rope was made for me

Fading, I fall backwards into the dust
Positioned vertically, but a casket knows to catch me
Buried only waist-deep in the earth
We carve the fading features of our silhouettes into our coffin doors

Hope is a blade that bears my name
I knew your rope was made for me

Hope is a blade that bears my name

I knew your rope was made for me
I knew your rope was made for me

  1. N.... A....

  2. U.... U....

    And yes! Counterparts here in the philippines played this live! sick band!

  3. P.... B....

  5. G.... E....

    Oi this is a tad naughty ennit. Feels for days

  6. R.... ....

    R🚫PE

  7. N.... W....

    That single, heavy AF chug at 2:09 is the best part of this song

  8. S.... J....

    I lovee counterparts but why guitars so low and vocals so high in the mix ugh

    S.... J....

    Shr3ddy J3sse to focus the music on the lyrics

    S.... J....

    I think in an interview it was said that Blake wanted the guitars quieter in the mix, incase he didn't live up to Jesse's riffs.

  9. c.... ....

    0:26 right in the feelies

  10. M.... ....

    this song is such a banger.

  11. A.... I....

    My favorite one off the new record

  12. N.... T....

    Brendan has always been beast, but he is just next level on this album

  13. A.... D....

    The breakdown sounds soooo similar to a song I can't seem to recall. I want to say it's a textbook tragedy song; any ideas?

    A.... D....

    honestly reminds me of the Choke breakdown

    A.... D....

    bad vibrations by a day to remember, maybe?

  14. M.... G....

    HOPE IS A BLADE THAT BEARS MY NAME

  15. J.... A....

    Fuck this album did not disappoint. Favorite song off of it for sure. Cried like a bitch by the time I finished it for the first time. Fuck <3

  16. C.... ....

    I really liked this song, but then i realized the breakdown is pretty much the same as the breakdown in choke. Anyone else notice the similarity?

    C.... ....

    Cocobro97 This whole album is a choke pt.2 too me, I love it

    C.... ....

    Choke is amazing so if this is similar what’s the beef brah? Go listen to blink lol

    C.... ....

    But the pattern is completely different and same with the notes being used in between the chugs? By this logic, every breakdown ever is pretty much the same

  17. s.... f....

    counterparts rope > foo fighters rope

    s.... f....

    this is fucking stupid. Are you trying to be funny? Cause it ain't workin

    s.... f....

    Oh come on. This song is fucking awesome. But Foo Fighters are an incredible band, and Rope, for that matter, is probably in my top 5 favorite FF songs. You can like it all, you know. This isn't a competition.

  18. C.... L....

    best song on the album. this is the best counterparts album yet. 10/10

  19. g.... o....

    I've already seen these fuckers 3 times. Might just buy a 4th ticket for that breakdown at 1:35 , holy hell

  20. H.... L....

    The 2nd half of this album is ridiculously good.

    H.... L....

    The whole album is good.

  21. a.... ....

    Best Song on the new album!

  22. J.... B....

    YEEESSSSSSSS

  23. L.... J....

    from 1:35 it is total chaos. Destroy everything. Every fucking thing.

  24. V.... A....

    This band makes me want to tie a rope to my dick and fucking rip it off while I sing and cry.

    V.... A....

    Jason LovesABR that's grOOVy babayyy

    V.... A....

    ..really tho?

    V.... A....

    you know, at the release day of this album I didn't think like that, but now FUCKIN THUMBS UP

    V.... A....

    Film that shit homie

  25. J.... G....

    that intro should've lasted the entire song

  26. i.... ....
