Lost & Found
Bolier & Redondo Feat. Bitter's Kiss Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been praying all the time
Saying life's not so great
Or I'm just doing fine
To rock with a head held too high
But truth is I'm loving life
Truth is I'm loving life I keep saying all the time
Color inside the lines
From my point of view

Never hide behind the lies
But truth is I'm loving life
Truth is I'm loving life
Knocking my head down
Playing lost and found
With my footsteps on the ground
Make-belief the world is spinning round And round, and round, and round
And round, and round (playing lost and found)

And round, and round, and round
And round, and round

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bolier & Redondo Feat. Bitter's Kiss's song Lost & Found speak about the dichotomy between what we say and what we truly feel. The opening lines present a persona that has been praying about how life is not great or how they are just fine, but in reality, they are actually enjoying life. The next couple of lines talk about how the persona has been trying to color inside the lines and never hide behind lies, but the truth is that they are still loving life.

The chorus talks about how the persona has been figuratively playing lost and found with their life, knocking their head down, and making-believe the world is spinning around them. The reference to lost and found could be interpreted as a metaphor for life, in which we all try to find our place and purpose. The chorus also features the repetition of the phrase "and round" several times, representing the cyclical nature of life.

Overall, the song Lost & Found can be seen as a reminder to not get too caught up in the things we say or think we should feel, and instead embrace the truth of who we are and how we truly feel about our lives.

Line by Line Meaning

I've been praying all the time
I've been constantly hoping and wishing

Saying life's not so great
I've been vocalizing my discontent with life

Or I'm just doing fine
Or maybe I am actually doing well

To rock with a head held too high
To confidently go about life with pride

But truth is I'm loving life
But the reality is that I actually enjoy life

Truth is I'm loving life I keep saying all the time
I keep mentioning how much I enjoy life

Color inside the lines
I follow the rules and do not deviate from societal expectations

From my point of view
As far as I am concerned

Never hide behind the lies
I remain honest and do not rely on deceit

But truth is I'm loving life
But the reality is that I actually enjoy life

Truth is I'm loving life
The truth remains that I am happy with life

Knocking my head down
I am trying to solve a problem

Playing lost and found
Engaging in a game of hide-and-seek

With my footsteps on the ground
While firmly grounded and surefooted

Make-belief the world is spinning round
Pretending that the world is chaotic and unpredictable

And round, and round, and round
Repeating the concept of chaos and confusion

And round, and round (playing lost and found)
Reiterating the game of hide-and-seek

And round, and round, and round
Continuing the theme of chaos and unpredictability

And round, and round
Repeating the idea that the world is spinning and unsteady
