Digression
The Counterparts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the space between us growing ever greater makes it hard for me to breathe.
But no amount of distance can change my feelings for you.
How can it be that a day I've always dreamed of,
Could also be a day that I wished would never come?
And we are slowly becoming two very different people,
But I won't give you up without a fight.
This is everything I've ever meant to say to you.
But I'll still see you when I close my eyes.
We've come too far to let our story end like this,
And we've come too far to let what we've built fall apart.
We both know this is love. I will never forget you.
The song "Digression" by The Counterparts describes the feelings of two people who have drifted away from each other but still love each other. The singer expresses his pain and sorrow over the distance between them but acknowledges that no matter how far they have moved apart, his feelings for the other person remain unchanged. The singer seems to be having difficulty dealing with the fact that their once-solid path is starting to diverge and that the space between them is growing ever greater.
The singer then goes on to explain that the day he's always dreamed of can also be the day he wished would never come. The day may refer to the day when they realized their relationship was not working, and they started to drift away. He then acknowledges that they are slowly becoming two very different people, but he won't give up on the other person without a fight. The singer affirms that what he's saying is everything he's ever meant to say to the other person.
The song's overall message is that distance doesn't change true love, and even if they are thousands of miles away, the singer will never forget the other person, and their story shouldn't end like this. The singer portrays a sense of longing and heartbreak, but the underlying message of hope for the future prevails throughout the song.

Our once-solid path is starting to diverge
We used to be moving together in the same direction, but now we're beginning to move apart
And the space between us growing ever greater makes it hard for me to breathe.
The distance between us keeps getting larger and it's becoming difficult for me to cope with it
But no amount of distance can change my feelings for you.
My love for you remains unchanged, no matter how far apart we are
How can it be that a day I've always dreamed of,
I can't believe that the day I always looked forward to has turned out like this
Could also be a day that I wished would never come?
I never thought that the same day I wanted to come so badly would also be the day I wanted to avoid at all costs
And we are slowly becoming two very different people,
As time goes by, we're becoming more distinct and unique individuals
But I won't give you up without a fight.
I'll do everything I can to hold on to our relationship, even if it means fighting for it
This is everything I've ever meant to say to you.
These words represent all the thoughts and feelings I've wanted to express to you
You could be thousands of miles away,
Even if you're far away geographically
But I'll still see you when I close my eyes.
I'll still picture you vividly in my mind, even when you're not physically present
We've come too far to let our story end like this,
We've invested too much into our relationship to let it come to an end like this
And we've come too far to let what we've built fall apart.
We've built something special, and it would be a shame to let it crumble now
We both know this is love. I will never forget you.
We both acknowledge that what we have is true love, and I'll always hold on to the memories we've shared

One of the most honest bands I've ever had the pleasure of hearing and definitely one of my favorites. Lyrically and musically untouchable. Let's make these guys famous. Game?

Last track from every each album always full of emotions, Digression (Prophets), Reflexion (TCWCU), Soil (TDBHAH), Solace (TWFU), and You're not you anymore (YNYA).

I started to dig this band as song as the first note played, so I downloaded the whole album. Then I listened to all of it, and questioned my idiotic self, so I bought it. All their albums are worth being bought. Such a good band, they need more support!!
[REDACTED]
One of the greatest melodic hardcore songs in all existence. By far.

This song really touches my heart right now. I relate to it so much. Im going to college soon and my girlfriend is still going to be in high school, and I have pretty much quoted lines of this song when weve talked about what were going to do when that time comes. 'no amount of distance can change my feelings for you'

It would be interesting to know, after almost 10 years, are you still together? And is there still interest in the Counterparts?))
