Counterparts - Stranger Lyrics
Your ghost holds me close
As I’m ravaged by the solitary that surrounds my former home
Use me until you’ve spent the rest of my remains
And then try to validate your actions
Cursing every empty vein
Paralyze me
To ensure I have no chance of knowing the feeling of affection
It’s no secret that I’ve shed the common decency
That appoints the world with the burden of devotion to our kin
I gave you everything I had and the world has left me exhausted
(So make me feel)
So make me feel something
Anything that might change my mind
To leech off the light and absolve my insignificance
Lay me to rest
Lay me to rest inside of a glass casket
So you can remember me with a smile on my face
Adorning me in my own failures
So you can count them as you stand above my bones
I wish I were a better man
I am a coward masked in courage
And just admitting this will not save me this time
So free me from my tired mind
And let me learn the difference
Between a single tear and the runoff of an ocean
Weak and weary from my predatory nature
So bless me with abandonment in my greatest time of need
Let me carry on knowing that I could never truly face my reflection
It’s much easier to caress the broken glass (broken glass)
Though if I accidentally catch a glimpse of myself in the shards
I will put my faith in the shrapnel to correct my vision
I am a stranger when I stare into the eyes of those I love
Look away in disgust
Protect yourself from the sight of my deception
I am a stranger when I stare into the eyes of those I love
Look away in disgust
Protect yourself from the sight of my deception

maaaaaan
mad love
Can't believe it took me 3 years to get into this
2:45 "oh"
Reminds me a lot of older Gideon. Dig it
7A7P - Dandelion !
No one does transitions like Counterparts. They are the best. You tie that into awesome guitar work, tight drumming and great vocals/lyrics, you get one of the best bands to ever do it.
"As worthless as I am, I know I still serve a purpose."
Your ghost holds me close
As I'm ravaged by the solitary that surrounds my former home
Use me until you've spent the rest of my remains
And then try to validate your actions
Cursing every empty vein
That used to be inhabited by your impression
Paralyze me
To ensure I have no chance of knowing the feeling of affection
It's no secret that I've shed the common decency
That appoints the world with the burden of devotion to our kin
I gave you everything I had and the world has left me exhausted

"Tragedy Will Find Us" is a masterpiece.
Misery Signals - In Summary of What I am?
more like BANGER amirite??
were the fuck is all the original members who's this screamer
The only original member is vox
h a r d
I posted a cover of this if anyone's interested.. love this band/song!
I love this song and album, it's perfection!!!
Really dig their new album, but tragedy will find us is my favourite by all the miles in the world, it's up there with my favourite albums all time.
Pretty fucked up to day this but Brendan seems really broken and it’s just so fucking beautiful the way he expresses it
Daniel Torres this band makes me want to punch everything and want to cry at the same time
even fucked up is the fact that a lot of people feel the pain enough to love what he says
still best coutnerparts song with burn even new album came out
Counterparts isn't just a band they are a fucking expirience..
So bless me with abandonment in my greatest time of need
You know I got shit yesterday from an ex co worker for listening to music like Counterparts and Beartooth, etc. Still don't see any of the rappers he listens to actually putting out music about feelings and emotions. Also no rapper will ever tuned down and then back up in a song.
yaaass das my mate kyle brownlee yaass fuck dat kelly dood he beats wives
Reminds me of No Bragging Rights that band was sick
SICK DRUM FILLS
good ol' southern ontario hardcore!
It's crazy that they have been this consistent with all the lineup changes over the years. Every track is awesome, all the time, 10 years strong now.
love this band, love this song, love how the video is edited :D
did they uptune to D for this album? i tuned to dropC nd the breakdown nd begining is played on the second fret so its in a D.....did they really tune up????? wtfffrffrffffffjsgrefeffff
quadzilla60 Yeah man, this album is in D standard. It annoys the fuck out of me too when bands change tuning on different songs i'm trying to learn, haha.
pretty decent, though i think i like the older stuff a bit more.
I found these guys at my lowest point and I feel nothing but a loss of stress every time I hear them play.
Kyle Brownlee was truly a great choice to replace Kelly, pretty sure he grew up with the band plus I remember watching his rock band 2 drum videos back in 2009 and he was slayiN
WEAK AND WEAAAARY
Touche Amore - Harbor
Super down with this band, saw them with Senses Fail last night. Good Pits, Beautiful riffs, Fun stuff. BUT Homeboy wouldn't sing chorus he would hold the Mic out and say "I wanna hear you sing it" ...no man, I paid for you to sing it. Was super disappointed
Beyond happy they are part of warped this year 💛
They are a perfect example of that sad transitioning stage between screamo and hardcore.... #itisnt2006anymore
Roxxy G yes I agree he needs to actually sing like Corey Taylor does sing the chorus not scream
Happy that they are at warped tour 17
Counterparts <3
Get a second singer lads, baritone to complement your man, akin to...but not like alexis
Anyone know what's going to happen with their writing? I've always been drawn to counterparts because of their guitar work and I know Jesse was a major contributor to writing, so I'm a little nervous how they're going to sound after he left.
Alex Re who played on TCWCU and Hell and Home contributed to writing the new record as well, even though he's not in the band anymore.
Damn, his insta is on private. Does he have any stuff on soundcloud? I know he played for Hundredth so that gives me a lot of hope for how the next record will turn out
Fucking Counterparts nailed it again.
what guitar is he playing? looks like a tele just unsure of the brand
I need to punch something at 2:37
u know I used too love counterparts but I feel like they are loosing the melodic side of their music. their first three albums were amazing but tragedy will find us there's just a bit too much generic
LAY ME TO REST
Miss Jesse And kelly
some stupid people dislike this
Which album?
The track rules. Solid work by Counterparts. These dudes rule. Not crazy about he video though. Way too many cuts. Why do music video directors do that shit? Keep it in frame for at least 2 full seconds before you cut. Jesus.
the video it's like supersoaker of Kings of Leon :v
Did anyone else hear "as you sit upon my balls" at 1:33
wow :/ new singer has glasses and short hair :/ not the content i signed up for :/ where's dat macho pumpkin :/
this is sick af.
is the drummer kyle brownlee ??
Sure is!
Love their old shit and new shit, if anyone asks, Compass is my all time favorite.
The composition is literally fucking amazing, but it feels like the full out screaming part doesn't fit. low key would like it better if it was the same but with more sing-voice lol
They dont sound the same no more
UnKnowN DreaM all new members not the original line up
muka drummernya culun skrng
Why is Brendan dressed like Counterparts got signed to OVO
saw these guys last night before Parkway Drive and holy shit their energy was strong!!
My cat died went to heaven came back woke up and told me to watch the video that i was missing 👀🙄
fuckng yaaaaaas
Did he cut his hair?
fuck this is good
Counterparts have the best lyrics =.
1:28 so you can count them as you sit upon my balls
damn, did they just losing Kelly and Jesse?
Personally I would've preferred a video of B trapping to this song as the video but oh well
Saw them live on Thursday and it was one of the best live performances I've seen
There we go, I haven't heard a counterparts breakdown like that in a while, nice.
hello 2009 I've missed you

That's not Jesse, sup wit that?
Oh sick, I didn't know Dallas Green was in Counterparts. That's pretty cool
they could put out a song entirely of farts and I'd still be hyped as fuck
Timothy Clark lmaooo. Me.
I wonder who's gonna compose the next album, Jesse was too fucking good at composing. I hope they don't dissapoint us.
Brandon said in an interview that most of.the old members are still involved in the writing
Does someone what's the guitar that doesn't look like a telecaster?
Klopp, is that you?
Cheeky B is now Cheeky Dad
Beginning sounds like "Walls of Jericho - A Little Piece of Me" last breakdown
finally!
No Bragging Rights is one of my favorite bands and this definitely fills the void from their hiatus. Great stuff.
Where the fuck is Brendan?
Brendan kinda looks like Dallas Green in this video. Stoked to see them next Monday.
This is some real good stuff, probably one of the best bands out there.
They make the sickest videos just like they make the sickest music
Great!!!
Hello (sorry for my bad English).
I'm from Indonesia.
What happened to your drummer?
He left for some unknown reason.

That was my failed attempt to joke.
Oh I had seen that tweet, sorry, I wasnt smart enought to grasp your joke 3
Jürgen Klopp doing vocals now?
Brian tryin so hard to look like Christian Slater
When you see counterparts pop up in your notifications and automatically just assume that it's a new song but it's not FeelsBadMan still a beast song and video though
