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
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
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 finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd 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]
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
dashboard, yes dashboard is the greatest band ever, i love chris, he is my hero, literally, his talent on guitar, and his way with words is just wonderful..... if u dont know DC, get to know them, they are awesome
oh yeah, best song ever. i saw dasboard in concert last night. that chris carrabba, talk about a guy with talent...not bad looking either...he played vindicated at the close of the show, right before hands down(which was the last song). and let me tell you, if you think its awesome on cd, you should hear it live. incredible. but honestly, either way, its a awesome song. go dasboard!!!
i personally dont really like the song that much. dashboard are only jsut getting airplay cause of this song (in australia) but i wish they played hands down, i think it gives a better picture of the band than this on does. oh well, hey its dashbaord it can't be all that bad.
seeing dashbaord in a 1.5months (for the second time) yay!!
cheers
I haven't heard it yet, but it is Dashboard, so i am sure it will be good. Isn't this the one that is supposed to be on the Spiderman II soundtrack? BTW: Have you people only listened to "A mark, a mission, a brand, a scar"???? Oh and of course, their single "Screaming Infidelities." Listen to more off of "Places you have come to fear the most" and "The swiss army romance." They are much better than the new stuff. Though i like the new stuff, it sounds too manufactured. I liked the raw emotion of the previous 2 records.
i just get confused because i don't know what he means by vindicated... it doesn't seem to fit with the other lyrics, or the movie i would think. please clear this up for me. (and i do know what vindicated means)
Yeah, it's a pretty good song. If I see spider man 2, it will only be because Dashboard has a song on it. However, I prefer their older stuff....yes, definitely...and if all you know is "Vindicated" and "Hands Down"....I pity you.
this is an AMAZING song! once i heard it on the radio i knew it was dashboard confessional because of the dreamy voice... lol ! i can't wait to get the spiderman 2 soundtrack!! does anyone know when it comes out? or is it already out??? i need to know... lol.....
