Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

From the album "Dusk and Summer"

Lyrics:
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

[Chorus]
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I 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 intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that

[Chorus]

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]

[Chorus]

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption

555th like! I loved this song since being in high school and using myspace daily. I actually saw Spiderman 2 when I was in Japan but I was on a military base! Jolly good father & son memories!

My favorite part of the song is not the lyrics, or the band.

Honestly, I love how at some points he's practically screaming because he's on his last breath and trying to get all the passion and pain out. THAT is real music. Music should make you want to feel something-make you so passionate about what you are singing about that you're barely singing. <3

Damn....Dashboard confessional brings back so many memories.. i was young and didnt have a taste for music back then but my sisters would blast dashboard confessional through the stereo in the morning and after school.... I didnt really care for them but now i am finally appreciating how good this band and their songs were. Vindicated, Screaming infidelires, and hands down are the best.
