Pointing Fingers
Sympathy Unveiled: Pointing Fingers at Shared Guilt
Lyrics
Hey boy, what you're doing
Addressing a male, questioning his actions.
It isn't right
Expressing disapproval of the male's actions as being incorrect.
Hey boy, is there any reason to pick a fight?
Asking if there is a valid reason for starting a conflict.
Your streets filled with glass houses, you throwing stones
Metaphorically describing the male's environment as fragile (glass houses) and accusing him of being critical (throwing stones).
Hey boy are you throwing stones at the other side?
Questioning the male's actions of criticizing or attacking someone on the "other side."
The other side
Repetition emphasizing the concept of the "other side."
Side
-The other side
-Pointing fingers, try to shift the blame
Accusing of blame-shifting and pointing fingers instead of taking responsibility.
Sympathy for the other side
Expressing empathy or understanding for the people on the "other side."
We're all to blame, our splinters are all the same
Asserting shared responsibility, suggesting unity despite differences.
Sympathy for the other side
Expressing empathy or understanding for the people on the "other side."
Hey girl can't you see, what you're doing is wrong?
Addressing a female, criticizing her actions as wrong.
Hey girl don't you think it's time we got along?
Suggesting the need for reconciliation and harmony.
Yes, our eyes are filled with splinters, but so are yours
Acknowledging flaws (splinters) in both parties but emphasizing shared imperfections.
Hey girl are you pointing fingers at the other side?
Questioning the female's actions of criticizing or attacking someone on the "other side."
The other side
Repetition emphasizing the concept of the "other side."
