The title explains it all... A friend of mine thought Mike's lyrics in the pre-chorus of Numb were "Call him the undertoad, just call him the undertoad"... obviously a mistake I won't let him live down.
Lying From You "Remember listening to all of that Mexican" I knew he didn't say that, but it's what I heard at the time
First ever listen of Nobody's Listening: "We drop right back in the cut over basement tracks, with rapsack, got you back in the sub lax - rewind that" I didn't figure it out for quite a while, even though I knew how I heard the line made no sense at all.
When Chester sings "making your heart stop" in Hit The Floor I thought he was saying "licking a Rasta".
Breaking the Habit - "I don't want to be the one the battles always choose." "I don't want to be the one to battle all these Jews." I don't mean it offensively. It just sounds like that.
One step closer- "I find bliss in ignorance.." "I find listening there is.." I know it doesn't make sense, but i could have sword it said listening something until I read the lyrics.
Forgotton "In the memory you'll find me, is burning up. The darkness holding me tightly until the sun rise is up." Papercut "Its like a paranoid, looking over my back."
Wretches and Kings The second chorus where Chester is doing his thing. The last line I could have sworn he said in Spanish. I had no clue what he was saying but I would have bet anything that it was in Spanish. So I checked out the lyrics and it is, "No more the sun shall beat down for you". I had a really good one about 15 years ago or so. When Korn's song "Blind" came out, I thought they said, "I'm sublime", instead of "I'm so blind". And I thought it was Sublime singing, not Korn. I'm dumb.
Back when I first starting listening to Faint, instead of "time won't take this damage anymore", I always heard "time won't taint, this is a gender war". And I always thought Chester was screaming "I can't faint the way I did before" instead of "I can't feel the way I did before" Since then my attention to lyrics has gotten MUCH better XD
In Pushing Me Away... "The sacrifice of hiding in a lie... ...first sounded like, to me... "The sacrifice of farting in a lie...
