“It’s too late to roll the dice” instead of “it’s too late to apologize” sounds much more meaningful.
my version is better

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…
TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 months ago
He’s sad because he was going to call in sick but waited too long.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 months ago
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

No idea what song it is but what if it’s intentional that it sounds so similar …

Honestly there’s a several weird pseudo-deep lyrics so… maybe but probably not on that one.

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.

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!

Holy shit.
I saw them live last year for the finale tour and even live, I heard “up above in my head”
GoosLife@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, those are the actual lyrics. It’s “all the thoughts in my head” that’s misheard.
Lolseas@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Omfg. 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.
Liz@midwest.social 2 months ago
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.

I always heard:
Picture yourself (At) the MGM Grand Murphy’s fighting how come You’re in the stands?
I loved this line as it was calling out the assumption when you picture something big, why are you in the crowd and not the star of the show? It felt motivating and a fun play on the way people imagine themselves in the world.
It’s actually:
Picture yourself The MGM Grand Murphy’s fighting Occam You’re in the stands
Which, just doesn’t do any of the things the misheard lyric does. So disappointing.
pyre@lemmy.world 2 months ago
not always. I saw this in a forum meant years ago, I wish I had saved a screenshot or something…
the forum thread was about the dumbest lyrics in songs and someone said sanitarium by metallica had these lyrics:
Got some death to do
Mirror stairs back hard Kill, it’s such a friendly wordand complained it’s nonsense. why would stairs be made of mirrors, and what did that have anything with the rest… also what does stairs back hard even mean, etc …
as you may have guessed even if you don’t know the song, the lyrics are “mirror stares back hard”, which means the person is talking about their own reflection having a look in their eyes.
not only were the misheard lyrics dumb, but I always admired the sheer confidence of the person who, upon hearing these nonsense lyrics, instead of using their internet access to look it up to confirm, used it to complain how stupid it was without thinking twice about whether they could have misunderstood.

There’s a break-up song on Chvrch’s debuted 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.
MBM@lemmings.world 2 months ago
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”
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 months ago
The ambiguity might be intentional too! It would allow different ways of reading into the emotions

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

in my mind, the lyrics of no surprises by radiohead will always be
no one laughs and no surprises
rather than
no alarms and no surprises

“‘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.”

Probably a tad obscure, but at the end of Set (Extended Mix) there’s a section where they repeat “converge” but I can’t help but hear ‘you’re a virgin’ XD

I heard it properly the one time I heard the song on good speakers, but I always heard “I hope you dance” as “I want you dead”
