| Counterparts – Isolation Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Amazingly powerful song, one of their best in my opinion. The song is clearly about losing a loved one to distance but also much more complex than that. At the beginning it seems that this loved one says that she/he wouldn't leave, and so the decision to leave comes as a betrayal. The narrator clearly loves this person very much and feels heartbroken that she/he would leave him behind for her/his own future. However, the song is so powerful because the narrator realizes that every event, even this betrayal, has made him stronger for the life he's living. By acknowledging that his loved one is living their own life, he's taking control and living his own life. A very difficult but powerful philosophy, one that he has to cope with as everyday goes by. I think this song sums up everything that makes Counterparts amazing: youthful, believable passion. |
