Hypocrite Lyrics
Tonight
Bleeding from the holes in my face
But I don't wanna give it away
You did it for the family name
Crash collide in to space
You
Your favorite color red
I guess that I'm the hypocrite
You're not responsible
I'm responsible
Who's to blame
Tell me who's to blame
Tell me who
[Chorus]
I won't ever do that again
I've been all over the place
I watched the strawberry fields
Dry up and wither away
And if you ask me to stay
You know that's where I will be
Won't ever do that again
Don't wanna do that again
You
You call me baby blue
For all the evil schemes I pull
We sit and watch the waves break
I made a lot of mistakes
Crash collide in to space
Who's to blame
Tell me who's to blame
Tell me who
[Chorus]
I won't ever do that again
I've been all over the place
I watched the strawberry fields
Dry up and wither away
And if you ask me to stay
You know that's where I will be
Won't ever do that again
Don't wanna do that again
Aaaahooo
Aaaahooo
Aaaahooo
[Chorus]
I won't ever do that again
I've been all over the place
I watched the strawberry fields
Dry up and wither away
And if you ask me to stay
You know that's where I will be
Don't wanna d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-do that again
Aaaahooo
Aaaahooo
Aaaahooo

Maybe I'm stating the obvious but I hear this as a person talking to an abusive parent. They blame themselves for the abuse because of something they did wrong, after being conditioned into thinking this way. Logically, they know it's not their fault but they're just not sure what they buy anymore. They also can't blame the abuser for mistakes because they've messed up too in their life, so that would make them a "hypocrite." "Your favorite color red I guess that I'm the hypocrite You're not responsible I'm responsible" Also it could be about domestic abuse, because later in the song the person talks about staying. They might feel like their love for their partner it greater than their drive for self-preservation.
