And telling
Them about their mistakes
And it seems you criticise me too
You'd be done the same
You'd be done the same
You'd be done the same
You'd be done the same
The lyrics to Motel Connection's song Cypress Hill are addressing someone who is consistently giving unsolicited advice and criticism. The singer is aware that this person means well and wants others to succeed, but their constant need to point out mistakes and offer advice can be overwhelming and frustrating. The repetition of "you'd be done the same" suggests that this person does not have all the answers and likely makes mistakes themselves, but they continue to focus on others rather than examining their own behavior.
The song can be seen as a commentary on the general phenomenon of people feeling the need to offer their opinions and advice to others, even when it's not necessarily helpful or wanted. The singer acknowledges that this behavior is well-intentioned, and perhaps even necessary in some cases, but it can also become intrusive and annoying. Ultimately, the song suggests that sometimes it's best to step back and let people make their own mistakes, rather than constantly micromanaging their lives.
Line by Line Meaning
You are always wishing people good luck
You often offer words of encouragement to those around you
And telling them about their mistakes
You are not afraid to point out when others have made a misstep
And it seems you criticise me too
You also tend to judge and scrutinize my actions
You'd be done the same
I suspect that you would act in the same manner if the roles were reversed
You'd be done the same
I have little doubt that you would treat me with the same level of scrutiny
You'd be done the same
I believe that your behavior towards me would be no different than your behavior towards others
