I just learned that in Collective Soul’s Shine, he’s not saying “you haven’t let your light shine down”. But it’s actually a Jesus song and 'heaven let your light shine down." Over 30 years I was wrong lol

“‘E’ for very, very, extra ordinary.” VS “‘E’ for very, very, extraordinary.” The way I heard it performed always sounded like two separate words. I was like, “damn, she couldn’t just be nice the whole song?” I finally read the lyrics when I was older.
“I don’t want another heartache at my door, don’t want another heartache on my list” VS “don’t want another heartache on my lips.”
I don’t know any misheard lyrics, because I refuse to believe the way I hear the lyrics isn’t correct.
(Actually I used to have a list, but I’m old and I forgot it 😢)
“go to lonely starbucks lovers” my beloved
🎶Wrapped up like a douche, another owner in the night🎶
🎶Hold me closer, Tony Danza🎶
I like to sing, “Wrapped up like a douche, another rubber in the night” but yours sounds closer. That song is great for this. “Blighted by the right, wrapped up like douche, another Romney in the fight”
And little Early Burly gave my anus curly whirly
And asked me if I needed a ride!
I always thought it was “another rumour in the night” 🥲
the full line from the song is
Yeah, she/he was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Not if you’re referring to the Manfred Mann version: that one was “Revved up like a deuce”.
“It’s too late to roll the dice” instead of “it’s too late to apologize” sounds much more meaningful.
Ooh, I like this one! I thought it was, “it’s too late to call the job” when I first heard it and was pretty unsure what he was going for…
He’s sad because he was going to call in sick but waited too long.
Yes! Of course. I now have a whole music video of someone hideously hungover, driving to work singing this… Kind of like the “everybody hurts” video but like crazy shit is happening.
So you’re picturing me every morning back when I had to drive in to work. Got it.
Ah, so you are a Bexar drunk? I’m further down i10 myself, not sure I could go through that interchange every day.
Edit: I am being too literal again, I think.
Harris. Also just off 10.
I do know her well! Hi neighbor! I hope you don’t have to suffer the i10 610 interchange daily!
That because they really butcher it and say 'poligize.
The worst part is you can actually fit the full word in the same beat but it doesn’t sound dumb af
Hey now, you’re a rockstar, get the show on, get laid
I refuse to accept that those aren’t the lyrics.
It was but they had to change it for Shrek and the G-rated version became the canonical one.
What the hell do you mean “like a kiss from a rose on the gray!?”
No idea what song it is but what if it’s intentional that it sounds so similar …

Honestly there’s several weird pseudo-deep lyrics in that song so… maybe. He does use graying to describe the tower at the start. I think it’s probably just happenstance and pronunciation tho.
I always think of Metallica’s Saint Anger:
🎶 Medallion noose, I hang myself
Saint Anger 'round my neck
I feel my world shake
Like an earthquake
Hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?
I’m not even angry with you
I’m not even angry with you
I’m not even angry with you
I’m not even angry with you
🎶
Yet the real lyrics are:
I’m madly in anger with you
I’m madly in anger with you
I’m madly in anger with you
I’m madly in anger with you
… sigh…
At a punk gig once I heard:
“Titties and cheesecake! Titties and cheesecake! Titties and cheesecake!“
They were actually singing about “Tinnies (Aussie for beer) on Tuesday”. Not as good IMO.
Damn it, Mr.Ingle. Can you not sing “in the garden of eden” without sounding like you have a mouth full of pudding?
Fuck it. We’ll just change the name of the damned song. Who the hell makes a 17 minute long song, anyhow? You’re a damned idiot!
Also, Mr. Miller? What the hell is a pompatus of love??
Huh, thought it was the pamplemousse of love
'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep
up above in my head
All the thoughts in my head
'stead of going underOmfg. I bought All Killer No Filler the first week it was in stores. And I heard your interpretation ever since. Hot damn, thank you so much for chiming in. And fuck.
To be clear “up above in my head” are the actual lyrics, but I only learned that fact a few weeks ago. I like my version better.
Holy shit.
I saw them live last year for the finale tour and even live, I heard “up above in my head”
Yeah, those are the actual lyrics. It’s “all the thoughts in my head” that’s misheard.
Yeah my bad, that was a little ambiguous. Very funny to accidentally blow this person’s mind though.
you really did!
I cannot hear this song without thinking that the background singers are repeatedly saying “cut your balls off” during the refrain
The music commands and I obey
There’s a break-up song on Chvrch’s debut album called Tether. One line, frequently repeated, goes “I’m feeling capable of… seeing the end.” A fine lyric, very breakup, much hopeful.
Except, I can’t tell when listening that she isn’t saying “I feel incapable of…” I don’t know if it’s intentional but I think the ambiguity really elevates the song from semi-empowering breakup song to powerfully-relatable song about the chaos of seeing a relationship end; simultaneously believing you can get through it while also having no idea how you’ll ever get through it.
It’s just fun wordplay too: feeling capable/feel incapable. Makes me want to use that structure more in my own writing.
That reminds me of Night Sky, which has “I will ne’er be free” but it sounds a lot like “I will now be free”
The ambiguity might be intentional too! It would allow different ways of reading into the emotions
