Lost In A Contraption Lyrics
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
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
No one minds
That's my blind side
A man of doubt gave me a name
The obvious was too hard to find
The sun will shine
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.

My dad used to hit me, i know how the kid in this song feels. It sucks when your dad makes you feel worthless...

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