Counterparts - Solace Lyrics






We shiver in the pause between words
Abandonment still fresh upon the tips of our tongues
The whispers we’ve chosen to live and die in will infect deaf ears with the discordance of deceit
Why do we scream when there is nothing left to say?
Silently acknowledging the solace in loss
I am content with throwing everything away because I lost myself when I found you

Carry me back to your bed
My conscience is my coffin and I swear sometimes I’d rather be dead
Make sure that I still feel, I don’t care how much it hurts
I’ll always be numb on my side of the earth

In the dark I watched the light hit your skin, hoping that my eyes might never adjust
Soft sounds save me from the confines of sleep because hearing your voice once was never enough
I think I’ve finally identified the Difference
I think I live in both my hell and my home
I will forever be a slave to your distance
Don’t let me in
Don’t let me go

Carry me back to your bed
My conscience is my coffin and I swear sometimes I’d rather be dead
Make sure that I still feel, I don’t care how much it hurts
I’ll always be numb on my side of the earth
Don’t let me in, don’t let me go

(In this moment)
I’d rather die than live without you
I’d rather die

  2. G.... S....

    feeling deep

  3. L.... L....

    Every time I listen to this great song, I need to think about the girl I love. It just give me feeling of being alive. I would just love to play this on my wedding when I walk down the aisle. Thank you for your music guys :)
    Seeing you live in a month will be great. Hopefully you play this song!

  4. G.... ....

    Dam homie can scream

  5. E.... R....

    Fucking awesome

  6. D.... ....

    I used to think this album wasnt that good for the longest time and then i actually took the time to listen to it and its literally my favorite now

  7. C.... C....

    This album has done so much for me. Will always be grateful for this record.

  8. m.... ....

    Soil vs Solace

  9. J.... W....

    This song is actually not bad but I like ABR INK ARTRSNG AND KSE

  10. L.... H....

    Getting me thru this hell 110%

  11. i.... t....

    Someone, please, kill me.

  12. q.... ....

    this has got to be one of the most dramatic nd emotional chord progressions nd effects combo I've heard. as soon as the guitar comes in at the beginning, you immediately get the exact tone of the song before any words are said.

  13. n.... c....

    always well love this song. forever and always

  14. R.... ....

    stoked to see them play with Stray From The Path and Comeback Kid on the 30th

  15. L.... F....

    I had a relationship with a Women that has identified borderline....we got a Daughter Now...how much i can relate to These lyrics..thank you for this

  16. a.... ....

    Counterparts.
    I love them for songs like this.
    Seriously one of the best bands in hardcore atm.

  17. I.... S....

    there will never be fullness in a companion. So many bands describe pain on repeat and them screaming in a microphone to a crowd won't save anyone from death. there is fullness in Jesus only and I remember having a constant play of songs just like this. it never satisfies, because you still feel the void. Only Jesus can fill void in you not another's presence.

    I.... S....

    Isaiah Strychalski 🙄

  18. J.... K....

    im honestly falling more and more in love with This band

  19. n.... c....

    carry me back to your bed!

  20. G.... D....

    I think I live in both my hell and my home.
    I will forever be a slave to your distance, don’t let me in, don’t let me go.

    Carry me back to your bed, my conscience
    is my coffin and I swear sometimes I’d rather be dead. ♥

    This fucked me right in the feelssssssss, thank you xo

  21. n.... c....

    id rather die. then live with out you

  22. A.... ....

    no words

  23. P.... A....

    these lyrics are beautiful, fuck I can go completely happy to balling my eyes open

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

    This song is beyond perfect!

  25. h.... ....

    first time listening to them and wow

  26. M.... M....

    "I think I live both in my hell and my home."

  27. I.... F....

    Beautiful song.But I always wondered who about is this song? Seems like failed relationship but then with last couple lines I feel like it's more about  like family member or close friend.

    I.... F....

    From what I found its about a girl Brendan met from Australia and the relationship fell through

    I.... F....

    "For the one who allowed me to see the light. For the person responsible for helping me break free. This is for you, and no one else and I am eternally grateful. I love you."
    -quoted from his tumblr.

    I.... F....

    if I remember correctly when I saw them a couple months ago I'm pretty sure he made a little speech about it and it had something to do with one of his parents I think?? or his grandfather or uncle.. I can't quite remember tbh

    I.... F....

    The lyrics are full of hints that supports your theory. "I will forever be a slave to your distance", "I'll always be numb on MY SIDE OF THE EARTH" and so on.
    But also you see the suffering that brings for Brendan being in that kind of relationship. "Don't let me in, don't let me go" shows you the duality of what a painful love can be. That also sums up the title for the entire record: Tragedy Will Find Us. This is shakespearean.
    I'm with you.

  28. I.... 4....

    Words cannot begin to fathom how much I miss you....

    I.... 4....

    We're all right there with you, man.

    I.... 4....

    Cory Clymens I see you everywhere, man. Hope you're good

    I.... 4....

    Annika you see me everywhere?

    I.... 4....

    Comments on youtube haha

    I.... 4....

    Annika oh! Lmao yeah.

  29. N.... V....

    counterparts are just too good

  30. M.... D....

    Love the slow dance vibe.

    M.... D....

    Certainly because of the mid-tempo and 3/4 time signature that can remind of a waltz if you imagine it!

    M.... D....

    this is so very true

  31. S.... O....

    It's funny how my favorite song before this album was compass, and now this song may be my favorite; considering the reference.

  32. P.... i....

    Love this album so much, but then again i love counterparts in general

  33. D.... ....

    I found this band just 15 min ago, listened to some songs...
    and let me tell you, this is the fastest that I went from 'oohh, what's this' to 'this is the best band that I heard in years, jesus....'

    D.... ....

    I realise this is an old comment but I'm the same way. I discovered them about a week ago and I've bought two of their cds already.

    D.... ....

    Same yesterday and I actually ordered a cd from ebay

    D.... ....

    same here
    i wish i could discovere them again, just for the feeling i got with listening to those songs for the fisrt Time

  34. D.... m....

    Guys... you seriously need to play this more live i just saw y'all in denver live. this is such a powerful song, instrumentally, vocally, all around. i piss my gf off so much when i play this because i go the fuck in.

  35. K.... B....

    The 2nd "Don't let me in, don't let me go" later on made me tear up. It's so powerful, and the music just makes it so much better.

  36. A.... F....

    Thought the lyrics were "make sure that I still fail. I don't care how much it hurts", and then I saw the lyrics in the description . But then I also gave myself a mind fuck because that would also be a perfect replacement line for the song.

  37. P.... G....

    #StaySad2K15

  38. w.... b....

    emotion off the charts

  39. H.... ....

    I think I live in both my hell and my home

  40. V.... ....

    so fucking emotional man :'(

  41. g.... J....

    I'm in love 💕💕💕💕

  42. K.... S....

    My conscious is my coffin and I swear sometimes is rather be dead.

  43. M.... ....

    This is the first song I just listened to off the new album. I cried.

  44. W.... ....

    "I think I’ve finally identified
    the Difference. I think I live in both my hell and my home." I see what you did there :D

  45. B.... ....

    "I think I’ve finally identified the Difference. I think I live in both my hell and my home."

     Favorite line on the whole record.

  46. D.... P....

    song is unbelievably amazing and lirycs are so strong and full emotions

  47. K.... S....

    Best song on the album

  48. M.... ....

    HOW DID B COME UP WITH THIS LYRICS? DAMN SON KILLING THE GAME.

  49. D.... S....

    Damn, it sure is rainy today T_T

  50. L.... ....

    After a lyrically outstanding album this song finishes it off with a gut punch. Counterparts is perfect 10/10

  51. J.... D....

    i hope to hear this live in october <3

  52. D.... m....

    Wow what a powerful song

  53. M.... ....

    Yo best Counterparts album to date. They took evolution of sounds to a new level with this. 10/10

  54. T.... H....

    That mention of Difference Between Hell and Home was perfect

    T.... H....

    It's sad to know that even though he thought that she was the difference between hell and home, now he realizes that he lives in both. The acknowledging of solace.

  55. M.... G....

    The feels are strong with this one

    M.... G....

    This is almost as good as guilt free

    M.... G....

    @Mark Grabban Fuck yeah mate this music touches right on the point

    M.... G....

    +Mark “Conceptions” Grabban hey man

    M.... G....

    +Mark “Conceptions” Grabban counterparts never fail to deliver, leading melodic hardcore band. conceptions could have been there too. feelsbadman

  56. P.... ....

    Ok, I'm literally crying right now. This album is my bible, and Counterparts are my life's narrator.

  57. P.... V....

    Can anyone tell me meaning behind this song? :)

    P.... V....

    @Peter Vereš "For the one who allowed me to see the light. For the person responsible for helping me break free. This is for you, and no one else and I am eternally grateful. I love you." From Brendan Murphy's tumblr

    P.... V....

    @Elias Kvarnström thank you so much Elias :)

    P.... V....

    @Peter Vereš Brendans words exactly "For the one who allowed me to see the light. For the person responsible for helping me break free. This is for you, and no one else and I am eternally grateful. I love you."

    P.... V....

    +Tyler Mazza you're late dawg

    P.... V....

    @Fender620 huh? lol

  58. K.... ....

    Burn had me waiting impatiently, this is fucking amazing.

  59. C.... �....

    Album isn't better than "The Difference..." but it's a damn good follow-up. This band never fucks up.

    C.... �....

    @Charlie's Drum Corner personally, i feel like this is their best project to date but everybody has their own opinion.

    C.... �....

    @Charlie's Drum Corner well i think it's too soon to tell something, you know, every album evolves as we keep listening it, for me it was the same thing with TDBH&H and TCWCU, in the begining you aren't that related with the album, but as you repeat it, it will find a spot in you.... i can't decide wich is my favorite counterparts album, but man, this one sounds awesome. and i don't even think that they need to be compared. i love this band

    C.... �....

    @Charlie's Drum Corner I found them on TDBHH, but I say this is the most updated version of what they wanted to be be with their style and be better at it. TDBHH was a good record the same as TCWCU, but this is their best material thus far.

    C.... �....

    @cesar augusto montoya cardona dude yaaaaaaaaaa

  60. S.... D....

    The raw emotion is palpable.

  61. S.... J....

    I am thankful for this record.

  62. N.... M....

    This song killed me

  63. C.... T....

    counterparts give me goosebumps everytime, 'the current will carry us' still does it after 1000 plays, and this album is doing it now. Never stop being you Counterparts, please.

  64. S.... K....

    Best song on the album. Wish all the other songs were as great as this one (Collapse and Burn are).

  65. A.... R....

    Thank you so much for this❤️

  66. M.... M....

    Ahhhhh finally ❤️ fav song on this whole album.
