Chappell Roan's 'Hypocrite' is a powerful anthem addressing the duplicity of a woman who wrongfully accused another of infidelity while concealing her own disloyalty and shortcomings as a mother. The song dives deep into themes of betrayal, hypocrisy, and the downward spiral of alcoholism, all wrapped in a potent melodic package. Perfect for fans of emotionally charged pop music.
Verse 1:
You point your finger, there’s three back at you
Accusin' me of things that you yourself do
Behind closed doors where nobody can see
You were the one down on your knees
Pre-Chorus:
Telling lies while your house falls apart
Betting on blame to deflect from your heart
You hold a glass but it can't ease the burn
It's your own reflection you can't discern
Chorus:
Hypocrite, yeah, you can scream my name
But every shadow tells the truth and every glass the shame
You were never honest, you were never true
Hypocrite, the mirror shows it’s you
Verse 2:
A mother by name, but love you’ve never shown
Your kids deserve more than a hollow home
Neighbors whisper, no one sings your praise
You're drowning in secrets, lost in the haze
Pre-Chorus:
Telling lies while your house falls apart
Betting on blame to deflect from your heart
You hold a glass but it can't ease the burn
It's your own reflection you can't discern
Chorus:
Hypocrite, yeah, you can scream my name
But every shadow tells the truth and every glass the shame
You were never honest, you were never true
Hypocrite, the mirror shows it’s you
Bridge:
Cheap wine and cheaper thrills
Trying to numb the endless guilt
Pretending that you’re innocent
While everyone knows what you’ve done
Chorus:
Hypocrite, yeah, you can scream my name
But every shadow tells the truth and every glass the shame
You were never honest, you were never true
Hypocrite, the mirror shows it’s you
Outro:
You point your finger, there’s three back at you
Every drop you drink, is just a bitter truth
Hypocrite, in the end, it’s you
