Jeff Hardy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You′re rarely satisfied
I think I've done enough
At least I′ve tried
Came to close
I'm always on the go
I've reach soul to fill
At least I know
The you I know now surrenders me
Who I was then is who I used to be
You remind me
You can find me
As my guardian and so much more
You motivate me
You recreate me
You′re the favorite I′ll do anything for
I need your undivided attention
For my vessels ongoing redemption
I'll make up for
I′ll make up for it all
I need your undivided attention
Your love is my never-ending redemption
Prayed so much we are satisfied
I've got a lot to do while on the side
Been too far I will not turn back now
I′ll live this life to learn
You'll plan somehow
The you I know now surrenders me
Who I was then is who I used to be
You remind me
You can find me
As my guardian and so much more
You motivate me
You recreate me
You′re the favorite I'll do anything for
I need your undivided attention
For my vessels ongoing redemption
I need your undivided attention
Your love is my never-ending redemption
The song "Redemption" by Jeff Hardy talks about the struggle of being redeemed and finding a way to fill an empty soul. He begins the song by saying how he has preached too much and never satisfied, implying that he has tried his best to do what he can but feels like it's never enough. He knows that he has come too close and has been everywhere, but the one thing that remains constant is his need to fill a void inside him.
He then talks about how he has changed and how the present version of himself surrenders him. He acknowledges that he is not the same person he used to be, and it is all thanks to the one he adores- his guardian- who motivates and recreates him. He is willing to do anything for this person, and he knows that he needs the undivided attention of this savior. Jeff understands that this person is someone who can find and remind him of the right path to redemption. Despite past mistakes, he promises to make up for them all, and with the help of his guardian's love, he seeks never-ending redemption.
The song's message is clear - life is about learning and making up for past mistakes. Redemption is not an easy path, but with the right guidance, it is possible to fill the void inside and move forward. Jeff Hardy's personal journey towards redemption is evident in the lyrics, and it is a testament to the power of hope and the human spirit.
