After watching the movie and then having it end, this song just completely fit the emotion that was going on. It goes perfect with how Spiderman must have been feeling and how the audience feels, too.

To me, I was going through a hard time when I first watched the movie. I loved the story and Toby Maguire's performance. (He is so perfect.)But I heard this song, and it had religious meaning to me.

"Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So, mesmerizing and so hypnotizing,
I am captivated,"

This is about feeling hopeless, imperfect, alone. It's about trying to recover, trying to get back up after you've kept falling down. It's when you're the lowest you've ever been and you almost don't care anymore, so you just let things unwind slowly. "So mesmerizing and so hypnotizing, I am captivated" - This to me is talking about the truth, the gospel, the light.

"I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself"

This is someone admitting to himself his weakness, saying he is wrong and selfish and just human, really. He's not superman. He is also right because nobody is perfect. Nobody can be superman. He isn't the worst person to ever live. He's not perfect or close-to, but he is really trying and he's getting there. He starts to see how much he is worth, how much God already knew and told him he is worth. He is seeing now that he is special, and he has a special mission to perform in life. He is seeing that he has great gifts and there is so much he can do. He fills a void. The world needs him.

"So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me
So isolated,and so motivated
I am certain now that I am vindicated

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever

Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'll be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away

My hope
dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption..."

He still feels human, but he lets himself slip away and drown in the full, contented, warm, forgiven feeling that he's realized. He is vindicated.
