Counterpoint
Delphic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll find my counterpoint, inside a red room locked behind a door.
I keep holding my head up, holding it up.
Holding my head up, holding it up.
But you just don't come back, around.
It seems to me that we will never be.
Just tell me nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
Late at night, I'll run through the streets and empty corridors.
I'll find my counterpoint, inside a red room locked behind a door. Behind a door.
And someone tell me,
Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
Just tell me nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
Oh, everything I want.
Oh, everything I'm not.
Is suddenly gone.
And tell me nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
And someone tell me, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today, today, today, today.

The lyrics to Delphic's song "Counterpoint" reflect the internal struggle of trying to find balance and harmony in a world that seems chaotic and uncertain. The singer of the song, in this case, the singer or the songwriter themselves, is looking for their "counterpoint" which can be interpreted as a counterpart -- someone who can balance them out and make them feel grounded. In the first verse, the singer says that they will run through the streets and empty corridors to find this counterpoint, but they will find it locked behind a door in a red room. This can mean that the counterpoint is internal, something they need to unlock within themselves, and it's not something they can find outside.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Tell me nothing's wrong today" multiple times, and this can reflect the need for reassurance and certainty in a world that can seem overwhelming. However, the singer acknowledges that everything they want and everything they are not suddenly disappears, leaving them in a state of uncertainty and confusion. The song ends with the repetition of the word "nothing," which can reflect the feeling of emptiness that comes with a lack of direction or purpose.
Overall, "Counterpoint" is a song that explores the complexity of human emotions and the need for balance and harmony in an uncertain world. The repetition of certain phrases and words highlights the cyclical nature of our thoughts and feelings, and how we often find ourselves stuck in patterns that we can't break out of.

LETRA:
Late at night, I'll run through the streets and empty corridors.
I'll find my counterpoint, inside a red room locked behind a door.
I keep holding my head up, holding it up.
Holding my head up, holding it up.
And you just don't come back, around.
It seems to me that we will never be.
And tell me nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
Just tell me nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
Late at night, I'll run through the streets and empty corridors.
I'll find my counterpoint, inside a red room locked behind a door. Behind a door.
And someone tell me,
nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
Just tell me nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
Ooooooh, everything I know.
Ooooooh, everything I know.
Is suddenly gone.
And tell me nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today.
And someone tell me, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong today, today, today, today.
Today x3

And someone tell me,
