Lost In A Contraption
CKY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics of CKY's song Lost In A Contraption talk about the singer's journey to find direction and meaning in life. The first line, "I was lost in a contraption," implies that the singer was trapped in a complex and confusing situation that left him disoriented and lost. It took him several days to find his direction and purpose. However, as he found his way, he came to a realization that his family's history had played a significant role in his confusion. The line, "finally found the fault in father, family blood dilutes the water" suggests that the singer's issues stem from his father's past and it has affected him on a deeper level.
The lyrics then shift to a darker tone as the singer mentions a photo of someone hitting the ground, and nobody minds it because it's his blind side. What that means is open to interpretation, but it seems like the singer has seen something traumatic, and nobody seems to care enough to look into it, hence the "blind side." The singer then blames someone else for his struggles, possibly a mentor, saying, "I was lost and you're to blame. A man of doubt gave me a name. The obvious was too hard to find." It shows that he was looking for guidance but someone potentially mislead him, and he is trying to recover from this. The song ends on a somewhat hopeful note, stating that the sun will continue to shine despite everything else.

I was unsure and trapped in a complicated situation
Took me days to find direction
It took me a long time to figure out what path to take
Suddenly the moments collide
Unexpected events occurred all at once
Finally found the fault in father
I discovered a flaw in my father or his actions
Family blood dilutes the water
Familial ties are stronger than any other relationship
I was dazed in my direction tonight
I was confused about the direction my life was taking
Photographed when he hit the ground
Someone took a picture when he fell
No one minds
No one cares
That's my blind side
I was completely unaware of what was happening behind me or to the side of me
I was lost and you're to blame
I was lost and I attribute the cause of my lostness to you
A man of doubt gave me a name
Someone who lacked confidence gave me a title or nickname
The obvious was too hard to find
What should have been easy to discover was actually difficult
To watch me try is out of line
It's inappropriate for others to scrutinize me while I attempt something
The sun will shine
There's hope for a brighter tomorrow
To watch me die
Is out of line
The sun will still shine
What's mine is mine
It's uncalled for someone to witness my death, but there will still be hope for the future despite my passing. What belongs to me remains mine.
