Hilltop Hoods - Counterweight Lyrics
I feel like I'm walking a thin line
Balancing thoughts on a zip-tie
I'd let them fly if the quiet would finally silence the voice that is inside
Weighing my words before that I've spoken
Day of my birth, caught in the motions
Over and over again
Though we both know where this ends
It's sobering knowing that coping alone with this stress
All falls over the edge
Have mercy am I blasphemous? So
Burn me with fire or cannabis smoke
I've worked all my life with hands on my throat
Searching for highs to balance the lows
I've been spending my days with reckless abandon
I'm drifting away with no counter weight
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away with no counter weight
No I've got no counter weight
If it's all in front of me
Why's it awaken the kind of sensation of falling suddenly
Like every step could be pulled from under me
And so it don't all catch up to me
I move at the speed of light
Losing my peace of mind
Pursuing my demons, lucid or dreaming?
Can't keep doing this, truth is a need a vice
I'm all out of love now
If abandoned my sanity's struck down
Started actually giving a fuck 'bout
Who's catching me when I come down
I pray that you follow
So I'm paving away to escape from this lotto
It's beautiful today, heart breaking tomorrow, oh-oh
I've been spending my days with reckless abandon
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away with no counter weight
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away with no counter weight
No, I've got no counter weight
Don't wanna be here forever
Take me from this place
Don't wanna live forever
Just wanna live today
Don't wanna be here forever
Take me from this place
Don't wanna live forever
Just wanna live today
I've been spending my days with reckless abandon
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away with no counter weight
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away with no counter weight
No, I've got no counter weight

Hilltop Hoods Counterweight Comments
I experienced about 3 months of "The Dark Night of the Soul (severe depression and anxiety) and this song was the soundtrack to my life. It captured exactly how I felt and still feel - I don't want to be here forever, take me from this place, I don't want to live forever, I just want to live today. If you're struggling, reach out to someone - a parent, a friend or even a stranger. It's not weak to speak.
Saw this live in Melbourne, this song went the hardest. The bass man the bass

love it, total geniuses
I have this feeling Adelaide is about to explode
Coming out to play bitchs
Yeah no. Not a fan, the guys voice sounds annoying and its just not for me. Thumbs down.
Does anyone know what the deal is with the samurai guy on their album covers. Seems to be a continuing theme for them
His name's Armageddon, he's been on every release. The album booklets for physical copies has a series of artworks illustrating a journey.
There are some interviews where they talk about him, but from what I recall the old and few and far between.
Also he keeps his money attached in his sock.
@Duncan Williams Handy to know thanks for that mate
the greatest aussie hip hop ever losing my shit right now
This song is absolutely beautiful
Beautiful song, quite catchy, well done boys. Awesome! Strewth!
nobody on this earth can dislike this if they do alien are going to kill them one like=more raps <3
HTH is without doubt the best freaking band that ever exists and will ever exist
different....not bad at all
I feel like I’m walking a thin line
Balancing thoughts on a zip-tie
I’d let them fly if the quiet would finally silence the voice that is inside
Weighing my words before that I’ve spoken
Day of my birth, caught in the motions
Why do I only feel norm in the eye of the storm by the roar of the ocean
Over and over again
Though we both know where this ends
It’s sobering knowing that coping alone with this stress
It all falls over the edge
Have mercy am I blasphemous? So
Burn me with fire or Cannabis smoke
I’ve worked all my life with hands on my throat
Searching for highs to balance the lows
I’ve been spending my days with reckless abandon
Searching for balance
I’m drifting away with no counter weight
I’ve tried changing my ways, I’m stuck in here stranded
Searching for balance
I’m drifting away with no counter weight
No I’ve got no counter weight
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
If it’s all in front of me
Why’s it awaken the kind of sensation of falling suddenly
Like every step could be pulled from under me
And so it don’t all catch up to me
I move at the speed of light
Losing my peace of mind
Pursuing my demons, lucid or dreaming
Can’t keep doing this, truth is a need a vice
I’m all out of love now
If abandoned my sanity’s struck down
Started actually giving a fuck ‘bout
Who’s catching me when I come down
I pray that you follow
So I’m paving a way to escape from this lotto
It’s beautiful today, heart breaking tomorrow
I’ve been spending my days, with reckless abandon
Searching for balance
I’m drifting away, with no counter weight (Woah oh oh)
I’ve tried changing my ways, I’m stuck in here stranded
Searching for balance
I’m drifting away, with no counter weight
No I’ve got no counter weight
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
Don’t wanna be here forever
Take me from this place
Don’t wanna live forever
Just wanna live today
Don’t wanna be here forever
Take me from this place
Don’t wanna live forever
Just wanna live today
I’ve been spending my days, with reckless abandon
Searching for balance
I’m drifting away, with no counter weight (Woah oh oh)
I’ve tried changing my ways, I’m stuck in here stranded
Searching for balance
I’m drifting away, with no counter weight
No, I’ve got no counter weight

My hat goes off to the HTH for creating such an emotionally charged song - Bravo!
Finally got the time to sit down and listen to this album, and I've listen to this song three times on repeat now. I didn't realise how much I needed this, I relate to the lyrics so much and I can't wait to see you guys live
Always Great
Anyone who gave this a thumbs down has no soul. I’ve not heard a single hth song I don’t like. Any other band has at least one song I’ll skip when I listen to an album. Not hilltop. Providing me Non-stop, never-ending happiness through my headphones. <3
Gave me goosebumps in a good way!
well done hth yet again!!
Stay Strong 💪
If cancer can't kill me. 26 years and counting. Nothing's gonna stop you Guys!
Best song on the album by far
fucking banger
This is easily the best track of the album, I want to say this is the best album but your past three albums have been shit hot and I can't put them in a order of best and worst, you guys are raised the bar and consistently keeping it there, would love to see a collab with drapht with the way your both going would be insane
Yeah I mean I have seen them all so far, but the way both artists are becoming more and more unique the next collabs between them will be insane
Nice intro guitar
see the dislike button the person who pressed that liked it so much and turned his screen upside down and pressed it
Don’t wanna live forever, just wanna live today....
There is only one issue with this album drop! There are not enough tracks! You guys are amazing life fan right here! And to support another artist in my home town, 2 ticks off the bucket list! This track gives me insight! Well done
Unreal so many feels
Im so proud of these guys, so much effort into all their songs, it was worth the wait definitely!🔥👌🏻
This is the one
By far my favourite song of there latest album.
So GOOD!!
LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Amazing yet again , ill never be disappointed by your music, Anyone else?
I dont hate this album but I wouldnt actively listen to it, its very good but too slow and light on the beat for my taste.
I like Clark Griswold but it took me a while to warm up too. Leave me lonely is an absolute fucking banger!!
Just Gaffa I love them so much
Me because their songs are incredible and their songs are taking the music industry by storm.
I agree
mint, just mint!
Hilltop hoods never disappoint. Lyrically, musically you guys are genius
aussie icons bro
Wow P man of many talents!
Sick track!
