Vindication
Rising from Strife: Queensrÿche's Powerful Vindication
Lyrics
Look around, on your hi-wire down look down, it's a long way to fall
Reflecting on a precarious situation, realizing the potential consequences of a high-risk endeavor.
Suicide, the brink of extinct it's over now
Contemplating suicide, recognizing the end of something significant, possibly a challenging situation.
The tables have turned on life's little game
Acknowledging a shift in circumstances, a reversal in the dynamics of life's challenges.
No longer the pawns you're feeling the strain
No longer being passive participants, feeling the pressure and challenges of life.
For we are all kings with merit it brings, as we rise to the top once again
Claiming a sense of worth and accomplishment as individuals overcome obstacles and rise to success.
As you look to the heavens wondering where you went wrong
Reflecting on past actions, questioning life choices and seeking understanding.
Seeing, not always believing the gavel of life coming down
Expressing skepticism about what is seen, highlighting the uncertainty and unpredictability of life.
Traces of the past flash before your eyes
Recalling memories from the past, witnessing the consequences of actions taken.
Hurdle the bodies that fed you, the narcissist hungers again
Overcoming obstacles posed by those who once supported but now exploit, referencing narcissistic behavior.
Fear and control your battleground, your truth under a shroud
Confronting fear and control as a central theme in life, truth obscured by external influences.
A forced stranglehold, just do what you're told, as we rise to the top once again
Describing a forced restraint, urging compliance, yet finding resilience and rising again.
As you look to the heavens wondering where you went wrong
Continuing to question life choices, seeking answers from a higher power.
Seeing, not always believing the gavel of life coming down
Emphasizing the gap between perception and reality, symbolized by the authoritative 'gavel of life.'
Sometimes a man's word is all that he's got and sometimes just only a name
Highlighting the importance of a person's word or reputation, recognizing its impact on life.
No more suffocation, my true vindication, ascending from all the remains
Seeking liberation from oppression, finding true vindication in overcoming challenges and rising above.
This is vindication
Affirming the achieved vindication and success in the face of adversity.
