I was lost in a contraption
Took me days to find direction
Suddenly the moments collide

Finally found the fault in father
Family blood dilutes the water
I was dazed in my direction tonight

Photographed when he hit the ground
No one minds
That's my blind side

I was lost and you're to blame
A man of doubt gave me a name
The obvious was too hard to find

To watch me try is out of line
The sun will shine

To watch me die
Is out of line
The sun will still shine

What's mine is mine
The sun will still shine

    I always get the implication of a stepfather, though the line "a man of doubt gave me a name" could very well be referring to a real father. I guess it could be either about a bad father / step-father.

    An abusive father who is killed. "family blood dilutes the water." The son who overcomes his father by murdering him. "the sun will shine."
