"I used to have a porpoise"

OMG, you too?

Wow I feel better winking smiley

So it's not "i used to have a porpoise"? GODAMMIT.

On a slightly different note, does anyone know of a cheap home remedy for removing tatoos?

Oh, and on "With Teeth" I thought he was always saying "a with a cheap thud".

 

06/17/09 8:47 PM

In only, I always thought Trent said, "I just look you up, down, myself" I have no idea what was going on with my ears XD

fail smiling smiley

Um. Until a few minutes ago, when I opened up the lyric booklet in my Down in It single, I've been singing "Kinda like a clown I was up, way up in the sky."

In Survivalism "I must honor this great nation" when it's "all apart of this great nation"

 

07/09/09 10:56 AM

I originally heard on 1,000,000 "no more fucking ways out" when it was really "blow my fucking brains out". I still catch myself singing it that way, too.

Hurt: "My Swedish friend."

Hahaha! Love that one.

Misheard on Echoplex: "I built this place with broken pots."
Should be "I built this place with broken parts"

I just heard in Reptile:
Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my cold ass.

(Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress)

Mr. Self Destruct -

What I thought he was saying: "I thank you, don't I usual?"

What he's really saying: "I drag you down and use you up."

Same song, later on, I thought it was "I am the maiden you forbore."

It's really "I am the need in you for more."

Don't ask me how I could go fifteen years singing the wrong words to a song when THE FUCKING LYRICS ARE PRINTED IN THE BOOKLET THAT COMES WITH THE CD!!!

lol

And in the chorus of Meet Your Master, I find myself singing along to "DROP DOWN, JULIAN!" instead of "count down to the end." :[[/quote]


oh fine. i'm glad to see that even you americans misheard what i had...

I misheard Right Where it Belongs as

"You keep looking but you can't find the words
Are you hiding in the trees."

But it's actually

"You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees"

The sad thing is I related more to the song before I knew what the lyrics were. I'm not quite sure what that line means.

It's a reference to the saying "can't see the forest for the trees". Skinny Puppy actually references the saying too, in "Neuwerld".

The saying basically means that you can't see the whole picture because you are too focused on the details, e.g. you can't see the entire forest because you're too focused on the individual trees.

 

07/19/09 4:23 PM

man I thought in last it was "this is a mental house" and in hurt "my empire of darts"

 

07/19/09 9:59 PM

Gave Up

My misheard lyrics: Covered in holes, endless and green
Real lyrics: Covered in hope, and vaseline

No You Don't
My misheard: Just three knuckle
Real: Just for the record

Also, a misheard lyric gave me my internet name.

The Big Come Down
Misheard: The closer I get, the worsett becomes
Real: the closer I get, the worse it becomes

XD

Deep
"PLEDGE DOWN, disrepair"
when its really
"BLANK STARE, disrepair"

Down in it
"Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about
just what i wanted to see."
but noooo its
"Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about
too small to see."

The perfect drug
"Take me, if you want me" or "Take me if you want"
but its
"Take me with you"

According to NIN Wiki, it's "You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees".

until I read the lyrics on the included booklet I always heard:

in Capital G:

"don't give a shit to the temperature we want our melon" (lol)
instead of:
"don't give a shit to the temperature in Guatemala"

in Meet Your Matster:
"Bow down in position / against the Palestine"
instead of:
"Bow down in position / against the polished steel"

In dead souls : that mocking voice is ringable (and mocking voices ring the hall)
And when first listening to the slip non stop I would hear in discipline:
is my fisher's net loosing ground ground ground ground ground
(viciousness)
Needless to say after singing out loud I realized not righti

not according to the website's lyrics

for years i thought it was "got money" in head like a hole. the real lyric is much better.

"god damn julian" in meet your master was all i heard until i looked it up.

"contradicting the abstract in terms of how I see myself"-is what i heard in Only.

 

07/21/09 12:56 AM

I can never understand what ze Trent Razor say in Hyperpower.

In The Line Begins to Blur I heard 'The fabric starts to tear' as 'The membrane starts to tear'

 

07/22/09 12:30 AM

I thought I heard In March Of The Pigs The First couple of times Heard Trent say "All The Pigs Are All Lined Up I Give you all That You Want" Instead I heard

"All The Pigs are All lined Up I Can View All That You Want"

And In Piggy "Lost My Shit Because Of You" " Lost My Ship Because Of You"

you get The Idea here.....

 

07/22/09 12:46 AM

oh yeah And In Ruiner "Perfect Ring Of Scars" "Perfect Ring Of Stars"
You Know I can Say what you really are Instead of "See"

 

07/22/09 12:57 AM

Gave Up "Wake Up Insane"
