Redemption Soon
Veda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

my eyes they never sleep
my eyes they torture me
my heart it falls so fast, but it looks back
my knees are getting weaker each passing day
with each word of disapproval my backbone falters
could this be my ticket out of here
could this be the one i'm dreaming of
could this be redemption soon
i need redemption soon
believe me when i say
i'm trying to make it just like you
could you show some grace
fall back into my spell
into my hell
you don't even know where i come from anymore
it used to be so easy




your provision doesn't even fall on my land anymore
conversation weakens in your eyes

Overall Meaning

In "Redemption Soon" by Veda, the song captures the emotions of someone who is struggling with their identity and searching for redemption. The opening lines highlight the idea that this person is unable to rest, with their eyes unable to close, causing inner turmoil. The heart follows suit and is constantly looking back causing the person to feel like they need to escape from their current situation. The constant disapproval of others causes the singer's confidence to weaken to the point that even their backbone begins to falter.


The chorus is the plea for redemption, with the singer searching for a way to escape the torment they are experiencing. They acknowledge that they are trying to match up to the expectations that have been set before them but feel as though they are failing. They plead for grace and for a way back into the good graces of those around them. Then, we get a glimpse of where this person has come from and how much they have changed. The provision that used to be readily available to them is now gone, and they feel forgotten, as if their needs are no longer being met. The song ends with the idea that communication is no longer effortless and that the relationship between the singer and the others in the song is strained.
