That last part it always gets to me. Depression can be so lonesome. Thank you for everything Counterparts.

[@pogomitchell]

jkz any recommendations for lyrics like 3:00 on as far as other counterparts songs or other bands? absolutely no clean vocals. lol. thanks m8 if you ever get back

[@pogomitchell]

jkz I actually love TLTSOL. I stay mostly in the deathcore realm but I heard this song and liked the lyrics. Thanks for the song/album recommendations, I'm a newbie to this band.

[@alexbaribeault]

I feel a very powerful connection with everyone in this comment section despite the fact that I haven't lived the same experience as you did at all. This music really does bring us all together. Stay strong my friends, and sorry for the cheesiness, but I mean it.

Things will not get strong, this is a common lie use to deflect.

[@tanneryadig4451]

I unfortunately served over 5 years in prison due to heroin addiction and was lucky enough to be able to loan this album through a public library in Colorado. This album helped me get through a super rough patch in my life and I will always be grateful for that. I somehow got lucky enough to meet Brendan at a local hardcore venue in Colorado Springs when Counterparts was on tour about a year ago and he was definitely one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever talked to. Nothing but love 💪 🤘

[@dustinbaxter4521]

Awesome story hope you're doing well

[@joshhale9355]

Hope you’re back on your feet bro. Your past troubles don’t define who you are, remember that. All the love in the world to you, my dude ❤️

[@MrPatrickbuit]

It’s so fucked up that there are countries in the world where you go to prison for heroin addiction. You needed help, not to be punished.

[@arthuroliveira4326]

Hope you're doing well friend. Long live Counterparts

[@TrevorCanToo]

Love to hear it brother! Im fighting a fent addiction at the moment sht is ruf

[@Thedudegreeno]

I’m still here after all these years like.. yes.

[@PM-vv3uc]

keep going

[@Phymatic]

Doesn't matter how old you are or where you're at in life, this song will always be a hard hitting fucking banger.

[@grantgilpin5672]

Jesse! I miss you brother. still listen to this to this day... live right around the corner from where you used to live. hard to believe I was once so close with such a talented man.

[@benjaminmajorUT]

What a classic, always takes me back man...

[@matteiasm.3618]

I don't know what happened - and looking back I don't know how I made it this far in life. From broken promises, lost friendships, betrayed partnerships, poor families and lost minds - I made it up to having a loving family, a partner, dreams coming true and friends gathering around me. I was close to killing myself, but music like this helped me to understand, that I am not the only one who thinks this way. I just hope that these bands continue as long as they can. If they'd only knew, how many people they have saved. Thank you all, thank you for the love - thank you for the scene we had 10 years ago. Alot of us broken children became grown, solid and strong women and men.

[@brucenbrooklyn]

Every band has that one music video that's just them performing and life off and back stage. Nothing wrong with it but every band has that one music video.

[@andreaandrea808]

Agreed. I find myself loving them though.

[@podwaydoors6572]

That is the truest thing I have ever read.

[@christianryle6062]

+Christian Ryle I know it's not a word mate. :) :) :) :)

[@IzaacArtist]

Honestly man, I believe these are the perfect videos for this scene.

[@heyitssatan]

this is why i love music. ive always been the person who completely hides what im feeling.. ive turned into an emotionless and dead shell. i can only really express myself through other peoples expressions because im too afraid to be alone.. the feeling of finding someone who really empathizes with me is a feeling that i cant compare to anything else. the amount of happiness that i get from being around people who i can really connect with makes life so much better. letting go of those thoughts and feelings is the most liberating thing ever... UGH i hate sounding like one of those "music saved my life" kids... but its true.

[@hollywoodundead1010]

thankyoubasedgod I know it been 3 years. but i hope its better. but I feel you. it happens to the best of us :)

[@JLCannibal]

Still relevant! Music never changes we do

[@b_ennn972]

I feel you bro

[@lukasobi]

It's been 6 years now, but I still hope you're doing good, man

[@restlessness95]

This is what hardcore is all about

[@matthewclapper5289]

This is hands down my new favorite band! This singer is a true lyricist !

[@SuffocatedScreams]

It's the pain and unhappiness that allows for such greatness. Without those feelings and emotions we wouldn't get the lyrics and emotions behind it all.

[@Miikeeeyyyy]

Lyrics All of our lives we’ve been told what to believe Nothing is perfect so what’s the point of purpose? The line that separates the weak from us who truly care Is one I don’t intend to cross. The heart of man beats but only in greedy hands And it seems that most are still content. Where most are comfortable accepting insignificance we strive to find the effort within If you open up your eyes, and open up your mind You we be exposed to a world as cold as those who are left to populate it Two decades spent swallowing lie after lie has sparked a fire in my heart and the time has come to spread the flame We can’t continue wasting time Day after day trying to find a new means of escape We can’t continue wasting time, day after day We do this day after day We do this day fuckin' day And I can’t face the disconnect I’ll shed the dead weight and rise And I can’t face the disconnect I’ll shed the dead weight and rise I never thought that I would need to justify a reason To continue in this life I lead I fucking hate the world, I fucking hate myself. I fucking swore I’d never feel like this I hate the world, I hate myself. I hate the world

[@geneverafter]

i ate myself :(

[@levimyers3150]

And im upset!!!!

[@shiki494]

Thank you

[@ging2135]

What do you think of Counterparts? Sucks

[@musicismylife1347]

after looking up the lyrics to their songs I realized that I can connect on an emotional level with their lyrics.Ive felt this way so many fucking times. They get it and tell it how it is. Cant believe i just listened to them, can't wait to be part of that crowd one day

[@ebihn14]

Its definitely the most amazing part of this band and their performaces are so emotional and powerful....

[@ActiveSkatr]

If they play by a town close to you, TAKE that opportunity. I've seen them twice already and the atmosphere of their set is beyond amazing..

[@willowmiller9643]

I'm actually going to see Counterparts, real friends every time I die gnarwolves and I think there is another band. But I'm really fucking excited Bc I just discovered Counterparts and fell in love

[@Super8Corey]

I swore I'd never fucking feel like this.

[@armandoarrojo9841]

+Corey Tuccelli I'm sorry for you

[@danbmx445]

pretty hardcore. their music definitely speaks out to me. Love everything they stand for. haha sound so lame, but true.

[@Avegadez]

it's not lame bro

[@Wilbrown89]

[@robalonge1300]

Daniel P yea but this shit is different

[@singularity___]

3:10 on randomly popped in my head, haven't listened in a few years but I was still able to place the song immediately. so nostalgic, still one of the best songs

[@Turkeyforlife]

This band means everything to me. Everything from the actual music to the lyrics is nothing short of amazing. I hope they never break up and continue to inspire me everyday. I fucking love you Counterparts

[@xMOSHLEMx]

stay fair, this is emo. emo is not a trend, its being emotional with everyone and this world. and nothing is bad about emo, everyone who's listening to this, is not a person living the best life. this is real, and honest. i hate it when someones listening to stuff like this but uses "emo" as an insult.

[@ProjectVoidInc]

I've listened to this 100 times in a row. STAHP COUNTERPARTS.

"What do you think of Counterparts?" "SUCKS" Lol gets me every time.

I wish I had written this song. I mean written it down on paper. I've thought it to myself several times in different countries, at different points in my life.

[@garyalvarez9536]

Two decades spent swallowing LIE after LIE, Has sparked a fire in my heart.

[@ashleybooker4420]

just discovered this band and their sick, if you like them, you'll probably like defeater

[@tylerhughes7364]

True defeated is good. But defeated is a completely different genre and don't write much metalcore stuff, if even at all.

[@Kessellish]

couple of years ago I can definitely relate and emphasize with the lyrics'I fucking hate the world, I fucking hate myself, I swear I would never feel like this.' Makes me emotional listening to this song especially from 3 minutes onwards towards the end.

[@DanteLikesRock]

one of my favorites from Counterparts.

[@alexkevan3887]

Seen them play this live, and they have an narration at the beginning that just takes the song to another level of epicness

[@rachelboxer2245]

saw counterparts live and when this song came on, half the people there crowded around Brendan during the part of the song that says "i fucking hate the world, i fucking hate myself etc.." and it was so fucking powerful.

[@hardCOREmonkyman]

same thing happened when i saw them :) i was lucky to be in the crowd around brenden and screamed with everyone it was magical.

[@FloDrum2107]

I remember in oakland they had a sign saying "dont climb onto the stage" but when this part came up we all just went up and swarmed brendan it was awesome

well i rank them 2nd after As I Lay Dying , on my list of top 10 bands

[@kathryndavis2532]

It's people like you, the close minded people, that would even think about saying that music is a product. Music has saved thousands of lives from a fate they would've regretted. So don't you dare say that music is a fucking product. It's my life, and the reason that I'm still here.

[@pensamiento_artificial]

I respect your comments, don´t get me wrong I like new bands, I have 38 years old and I have heard HC since i was 15. It's just that the guys now seem to care only for the look and not to "change the world" if you know what I mean, I don´t want to sound like "in my times..", but most media corporations looking to make money of everything all the time and if it sells, they packaged, labeled and give the shit to swallow it.
