DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL

- Vindicated Lyrics

Songwriters: Christopher Andrew Carrabba

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 and so hypnotizing
I am captivated, I am

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
Over sized and whelmed, the shine of which has caught my
eye
And rendered me so isolated and so motivated
I am certain now that I am

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 turn up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my fingFEELSSSZZZer tips
Trace the moment, fall 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, so let me slip away
So let me slip away, so let me slip against the current
So let me slip away, so let me slip away
So let me slip away, so let me slip away

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

Slight hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption

What is the meaning behind Vindicated lyrics?


When we try to piece together the story behind the words, Dashboard Confessional's song "Vindicated" dives into the very remarkably deep themes of self-reflection, redemption, and self-acceptance. The lyrics tell a story of accepting one's imperfections, wanting others to notice one's good side, and taking up the challenge to become better even when feeling forsaken and overpowered. The metaphor of hope hanging by a thread illustrates the precariousness of the situation where one is battling between redemption and self-doubt, while the vividness of being vindicated shows the craving to convince others that one is right and deserves to be accepted. Through the lyrics, Vindicated predominantly points to reflection, hope, empowerment, inspiration, and solitude. At the same time, the song juxtaposes the facets of self-discovery and redemption, flaws and acceptance, isolation and motivation. The lyrics are full of introspection and personal shortcomings that may not be appropriate for young kids unless advised by parents. There are no direct mentions of violence, sex, or drugs, but the emotional depth and complexity of the themes might be too much for very small children.
