Kadenzza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The brighter the day
The fiercer the fight
The stronger the faith
So i place my hope in you
The deeper sin
The stronger the blood
The more reason to love
So i place my trust in you
In your ways oh god
Redemption is so much better than perfection
In your ways oh god
Over and over
You prove you're so faithful
Over and over
You prove yourself a redeemer
The darker the night
The brighter the day
The fiercer the fight
The stronger the faith
So i place my hope in you
In your ways oh god
Redemption is so much better than perfection
In your ways oh god
Redemption is so much better than perfection
In your ways oh god
Over and over
You prove you're so faithful
Over and over
You prove yourself a redeemer
In your ways i have
Redemption
So much better than perfection
So i place all my hope in you
The lyrics to Kadenzza's song "Redemption" speak to the idea that difficult times and struggles can bring about a stronger faith and sense of hope. The chorus repeats the phrase "In your ways oh god, Redemption is so much better than perfection," emphasizing the belief that rather than striving for perfection, one should put their trust and hope in the idea of redemption. This theme is reinforced throughout the song with phrases like "The deeper sin, the stronger the blood, the more to forgive, the more reason to love," suggesting that even in moments of darkness and wrongdoing, a sense of redemption and forgiveness can be found through faith.
The repetition of the line "Over and over, you prove yourself a redeemer" emphasizes the idea that the faithfulness of a higher power can provide a sense of comfort and reassurance in difficult times. The overall message of the song seems to be one of relying on faith and redemption as a source of hope and comfort in the face of life's struggles.
