I seriously didn't know this until I looked at the lyrics the other day (and pray I didn't sing it like this when I saw NIN in May!), but for some reason I always heard "Tuck me in, and turn me on" instead of "Plug me in, and turn me on" in Metal. It made sense, in a weird, perverse way....

In Somewhat Damage The Part Where Trent Goes "This Machine Is Obsolete" But I Ended Up Mishearing It as "This Machine Is Also Real" I think It Fits Better than Obsolete rather..... LOL

Great Thread!

Heres one I've misheard : The Becoming " The pokemon it wants me dead, goddamn this noise inside my head".

The actual lyrics are " It won't give up it wants me dead, goddamn this noise inside my head".

:blushes: Crazy right?

S.

Hahaha xD This one is amazing ^^

I had misheard porpoise as well... and, silly me, for "A-with-a-teeth-a" for about a month I'd thought he was singing "who hesitates-ah!" That's what I get for not reading the song list... smiling smiley There's many others but I can't think of them off hand. Those two are my favourites.

In Deep i thought it was "A place that you rather pee" instead it was "A place that you rather be".

I always have trouble with the lyrics to "ruiner" I never even made a guess, I just had to look. haha!

I misheard a lot in "the Becoming"
I a thought it was "I beat the machine"
when it's "I beat my machine"

and a few others, "all pain disappears" I thought was "All faith disappears"

The Fist Fuck part of WIsh always confused me because he talked so fast, I always just thought he was like "asdhf;asjdfl;askjdfasdfjk FIST FUCK!"

In wish as well I thought it was "Put my thing in god, trust in you" xDDDD

In March of the Pigs, I keep hearing:

I've been struggling withe the lyrics to Ruiner since I got the album. I have probably listened to TDS more than any other album but I've never studied my booklet. I knew that I didn't know the lyrics, but it's always sounded like "favorite winter stars" to me.

Time to review that god-damned booklet.

Mr. Self Destruct:

it's supposed to be
"you let me do this to you, i am an exit"

i hear
"you let me do this to you, i am a midget"

The Perfect Drug:

I just couldn't find it here, and I thought it was funny.

i let you take me from within

i thought t said "i let you take me home with it"

always thought that was a little strange...and gay coming from a straight man

i always thought it was "purpose" in EDIETS until i stopped by this forum. now every fucking time i hear it i know he's just singing "porpoise".

this whole thread is testament to why downloading albums sucks - you don't get the liner booklet that has always had virtually ALL of nin's lyrics were printed inside.

When I first heard a live version of Terrible Lie, I kept thinking Trent was shouting "You'll burn in hell" rather than shouting "You promised me". The two don't really sound all that much alike, but every time I hear it I can't help but think of that.

ironically, With Teeth is the exception to that rule

When i didn't read lyrics thoroughly i thought the chorus in Ringfinger was:

If you can promise carve in stone deeper than the sea
If you can sever flesh and bone offer it to me

(actual whispered "ringfinger" turned into "if you can"winking smiley

I misheard Sunspots. Instead of

And everything I'd ever want
Is inside of here



I heard

And everything I ever was
Is inside a tear



Which kina makes sense too... smiling smiley

"Gotta Get Back to the Bottom!"

I used to think it said "Gotta get back to the party!!"

from the big come down

i thought it said 'gotta get back to the party'
but it said gotta get back to the bottom
