The thing that gets me is even if they were intentionally backmasking (which they clearly aren't) how is that bad. Aside from the One Step Closer (still don't know how he heard that) the lyrics aren't bad. Numb backwards are still the same basic lyrics about a broken relationship. It's not like Stairway to Heaven or anything.
WOOOOOOO, smash it YEAH! I never realised that giberish in pushing me away remix was that. One Step Closer and High Voltage backwards were awesoome but the runaway remix was shit.
yeah, it's actually true; you're only hearing what you're being told to hear. "pushing me away" backwards ... "everyone avenges you". who remembers that? haha.
I think some of it was interesting tough Numb was just a load of jiberish. P5hng me a*wy part was kind of pointless because that was an obvious intentional backmask that you can read in the lyrics of the song anyway.
There aren't any lyrics in the booklet (that i have which i believe is the normal one) and i don't know how you would know that through looking at the lyrics on the internet unless the person typing writes the lyrics and puts backwards in brackets, most people would just put gibberish in brackets.
You don't even need to read them anywhere. Anyone who listened to Hybrid Theory enough would have instantly recognised the lines put backwards in P5hng Me A*wy. I know I did.
Alot of lyric sites simply do put it in brackets or italic as it is to indicate it is a backmask. I just think the author of that video was trying to make us shocked with all the backwards mayhem, but it seems like he forgot "Everything falls apart..." in P5hng me a*wy is said by Mike forwards anyway and he thought it was amazing that reversing the song made Mike say "Everything falls apart..." as he seems to of forgotten it was done on purpose. Well thats just what I think
I've listened to hybrid theory hundreds of times but all i thought of it as was gibberish, and the pushing me away remix is probably my favourite song off reanimation but i never realised.
I remember one day, I was bored. I was listening to P5hng Me A*WY and I wondered what it was he was saying.... so I reversed it (on my own) and found out... I think it's really cool.
