I thought this would make for a fun thread. People can hear some weird things in the lyrics!!

EBW

If you go
If you go, you'll wake up your mind


That's what I heard until I saw the lyrics.

And I'm sure this has been mentioned before...

Volcano

Something in your mouth to blow

I swear he says that. It does not sound like "wants to blow" at all!
 
Above the noise, above the Herd...

I also hear 'Morleigh', it's quite obvious it's not 'morning'. Morleigh. Morleigh's song;).
 
This is not exactly misheard but I think it's funny...

Initially I was singing "the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard" from The Miracle as "the greatest freaking song I ever heard" because I couldn't recall the correct lyrics.
 
Wait, the lyrics in EBW are 'If you go?' aren't they?
Or am I missing something?

What? It is morning. It sounds like it, and says it in the booklet...

Even though I am fully aware the booklet says morning I also hear Morleigh every time :lol:

"I was young, knocked up" in Miracle.

Oh good, I'm not the only one, hehe.

I just heard "your eyes are like lemon lights" in Volcano.

Can't see it on the mobile app, I had to quote it in order to see.

Definitely Morleigh. Also the registration number in Raised By Wolves, isn't he saying Zen instead of Z?

It sounds exactly like Morleigh. Obviously that doesn't make sense in the context of the song, though.

And it's zed.

:doh: That is Z pronounced as Zed the world over!

America pronounces it wrong as Zee. :p


I listened to SLABT again this morning and really turned up the volume. It definitely sounds like Morleigh and not morning. Maybe it is some vocal effect at work.

Definitely heard this one.

People are mis-hearing 'morning' at the start of Sleep... As 'Morleigh'

And definitely heard this one.


There's another one, but I can't recall what it is, at the moment, where I swear he says something about cherries or something. I don't think it's the actual lyric, but it's what I hear.

EDIT: Volcano! It's Volcano! The end of the song, I always hear the YOU! ARE! Rock and Roll bit as YOU ARE...Rocky Road....and I'm just like, mmm, I'm delicious.
 
Every Breaking Wave
"every dog on the street"
- I heard "every log on this stream"
Volcano
"Youre a piece of ground under a volcano"
- I heard "youre a piece of glass falling off a volcano"
theres a couple more thatll come to me later. A lot more on NLOTH, though like "she's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life" ?? wait...that's really the lyrics?...holy crap.
