Vindicated

Vindicated [+ favourites]

Can anyone tell me what they think these lyrics mean?

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated, I am

{Chorus}
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me
So isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am

{Chorus}

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment for forever

Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'll be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away (3x)
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away (4x)

{Chorus}

My hope
dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

""That's only the tip of the iceberg.""

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I'll do my best.

"Crap. I lost my watch, now I'm lost in time."

sorry if i seem obtrusive..

--------------------------

but it seems to me he found his redemption..that he's obtained it. Which is why he is vindicated.

it was this "women" who captivated him-and it was her intentions... which were "oversized and overwhelmed"..

it shows that she did more than she had to... which is why she caught his eye.

the corners of the lips..is her smiling and his fingers over her mouth.(flirting..loving..you know.)

and at the end he says once again .."his- hope..dangles on a string..like slow spinning redemption."


The intended message(from what i can tell) is that hope is your only redemption...and both are on a string. Just as easily lost as gained.

but more so difficult to obtain.

..and i sound like a damn rapper. haha .

"In this world, we are never lacking. Only losing what we have in hope of gaining what we dont."

haha yes i respect that.. and hope is all we have sometimes..while at the same time it's hard to even have hope..

to bad we can't all go back to our innocent minds that we had when we were children.. where our hope was abundant

""That's only the tip of the iceberg.""

A hope for forgiveness

It looks promising and then it doesn't

I didn't really do anything wrong

Well - Maybe it's because of the way I am
