Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Blame"

A: I just listened to the song. She says "IT would be useless. YOU'RE to blame."

A: To say that someone or something else is the cause (of a problem). For example:
My favorite cup was broken. I blamed my sister for it breaking.

A: Don't try to blame someone else for something you have done.

A: something mean. Like if you mess up in a group project, then maybe your leader would be mad and say that. Taking the blame is when you're in trouble but one person (or a group of people) will the the blame/punishment. And "for all your crap" would mean the mistakes

A: The sentence means the people are placing blame (and the onus of censure) on God.

I think the confusion is with the use of 'off' and 'on' since they normally are antonyms. Shoving off is a term used with boats. When a boat leaves a dock it is "shoving off" so in this sentence it is implying the blame is being sent away and placed on God much the same way a boat is sent away on to the water when it is "shoved off".

I hope that makes sense.
