The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Hypocrite" by the artist "We As Human"

Contents

In the song "Hypocrite" by We As Human, the lyrical protagonist expresses his pain and struggle with being perceived as perfect due to his faith. He feels the weight of expectations from those around him who see him as a reflection of God and judge him by a higher standard. The protagonist acknowledges his imperfection, his human nature, admitting he's "just a man held in Your hands."

The chorus is a desperate plea to God: "God, please let go and let me break my crown." The "crown" symbolizes the false image of perfection the protagonist feels compelled to wear. He longs to shed this mask and embrace his imperfection, allowing God's true love and grace ("Your blood runs through my veins again") to shine through.

The protagonist's ultimate desire is to become "nobody" so that God can be "everything" in his life. He recognizes his own limitations ("My old friend hurts me so / And I can't make it on my own") and that only through God can he find true freedom and peace ("Jesus, take me home").

(I feel their eyes upon my skin

Feels like they look so deep within)

I feel their eyes upon my skin

Feels like they look so deep within

I'm breaking down,

Feels like I'm losing ground

They think cause I am full of faith,

I must be perfect everyday

But they don't understand,

I'm just a man, held in your hands

[Chorus:]

But what say

But what say you

But what say you

God, please tear me down, and let me break my crown

Cause then when I bleed out, Your blood can fill me up again

Well I want to become nothing. (to become nothing)

I want to become nothing so you can be everything

(When they see me then they see you)

When they see me then they see you

I pray your love comes shining through

What those hands hide

I think you're significantly above the rest

I find with time, I change my mind

I know your plans are so divine

Retrace my steps, they always lead back to you

[Chorus:]

But what say

But what say you

But what say you

God, please tear me down, and let me break my crown

Cause then when I bleed out, Your blood can fill me up again

Well I want to become nothing

I want to become nothing, so you can be everything

(Be everything, be everything, everything)

My old friend makes me sick

And I can't handle this

Insufficient on my own

Jesus, take me home (take me home)

[Chorus:]

God please tear me down, and let me break my crown.

Cause then when I bleed out, Your blood can fill me up again.

Well, I want to become nothing.

Well, I want to become nothing so you can be everything.

So you can be everything.

Oh my God, be everything.
