Counterparts - The Disconnect
[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
You open up your eyes, and open up your mind
You will 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
[Interlude]
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
[Verse 2]
I do it day after day
I do it day after fucking 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'm not going to delve too deep into what the song is about. But basically, it's about the fact that we've been lead to believe that the world is a shitty place, and there's nothing we can do about it. The song is about shedding all of those who feel like that (dead weight) and knowing that you can always turn your life into something meaningful." - Brendan Murphy
