Redemption Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing on shaky ground
Wondering what became of yesterday
Everything seemed simple then
We fit together hand in glove
But now everything has changed
Strayed and lost our way
Now I search for us
But we're not here
Looking at you now
You're so far away
Our connection's lost
Looking at me now
I can't recognize myself, I can't count the cost
Somewhere up ahead perhaps our roads will cross again
Somewhere maybe hope is still alive
There's an emptiness within
And an isolation here
That I never thought I'd feel, with you beside me
There's a coldness to your touch
And there's nothing in my heart
And the life we made is hanging by a thread
There's an emptiness within
And an isolation here
That I never thought I'd feel, with you beside me
There's a coldness to your touch
And there's nothing in my heart
And the life we made is hanging by a thread
The lyrics of Redemption's song Threads communicate the struggles of a relationship that has lost its connection and meaning. The opening lines, "You and I alone/Standing on shaky ground/Wondering what became of yesterday," set the tone for the rest of the song. Something has changed, and the two people in the relationship feel disconnected and isolated from each other.
The nostalgia for what once was is palpable in the next lines, "Everything seemed simple then/We fit together hand in glove/But now everything has changed." The singer is acknowledging that in the past, their relationship was effortless and natural. Now, however, that ease has vanished, and they are left feeling lost and alone.
The chorus continues to describe this sense of disconnection and isolation. The singer is standing next to their partner, but they feel far away. They can't recognize themselves or each other. The life they've built together "is hanging by a thread."
The final verses describe the desperation the singer feels for their relationship to be salvaged. They hold out hope that their paths may cross again, and that there is still a chance for them to reconnect. However, the sense of emptiness and isolation persists, leaving the future of their relationship uncertain.
Overall, the song Threads is a poignant and relatable exploration of the difficulties and complexities of romantic relationships.
