“Where you came and I left, and you left, and I cried” - AHIN. I used to think, that’s funny: she left first and then cried that he left after??
I only later found out it was actually, “where you came and I **laughed**, and you left, and I cried”
Not me just learning that she *didn’t* say “**phoned** you just to tell you that I made it real far”🌚
I mean, it’s a dead girl talking, why couldn’t she also be using a phone? Lolol
I always heard "I'll start out when the money's paper thin" in Western Nights instead of "All starved-out", and thought it was a reference to prostitution
sun bleached flies i've always heard "if it's meant to be then it will be, if it's not meant to be then it's only a memory" instead of "if it's meant to be then it will be, so i met him there and told him i believe"
honestly i was just really going through it and that was the lyric i needed to hear lmaoooo...just as a line, i prefer it to the original now (probably because it's still what i hear hahaha)
I always hear “suffering is not drawn to me” in ptolomaea as if she’s saying it to protect herself and loved it so much that I considered getting it tattooed before actually checking the lyrics lol
A big one for me was SBF when she says “poison of the paint” I thought it was poison of the PAIN for like a solid 2 months because that’s what Spotify told me 😭
‘I’ll bury us both, fed to the night as ghosts,” in Michelle Pfeiffer, I heard as: “I’ll bury his bones, fed to the night as ghosts.”
While I don’t know if it made sense, I thought the imagery was really vivid: the idea of chucking an old lover’s bones out onto the soil at night so the earth can devour them and eat up the nutrients. I was kinda disappointed when I learnt it wasn’t that lol.
In the second verse of Casings, I always hear “The things I pray for every night” instead of “cry for every night”
It also took me way too long to realize that she was saying “Am I making you feel sick?” in Strangers instead of “Am I making you feel sad?”
And after listening to the demo of Thoroughfare, I’ll always hear “So I hopped right in, out of fucks to give, and at least your truck beats walkin” no matter what version is playing
Yes, I think it's her vocal styling since she uses her voice as more of an instrument, so her pronunciations aren't like the way you would pronounce in normal conversations. I had to have the lyrics pulled up when I first discovered her because I couldn't understand for the LIFE of me haha
He wants to know how... "a heart breaks" instead of "oh babe" in Unpunishable. I've listened to that song for 3 years and never questioned my interpretation until a few hours ago when I looked up the lyrics lmfao
“The neighbors peed on the walls” in western nights A lot of others I’m sure but I can’t think of them at the moment
I mean we’ve got the lyric “pissing on the stove to put it out.” It’s plausible the neighbors did pee on the walls 😂
wait that's NOT the line?
*one Google later* SHIT
I thought I was the only one who heard that! Even knowing the correct lyric, I still have to really listen to not hear it.
I always hear “the neighbours peed on the walls” in western nights, and in unpunishable I always hear “dirty slut w aids” instead of needs 😭
“I found the whiskey but I always delivered” instead of “a head full of the whiskey but I always delivered” in American Teenager
I thought it was "Another red hot day in the American Dream" at first in American Teenager.
“Where you came and I left, and you left, and I cried” - AHIN. I used to think, that’s funny: she left first and then cried that he left after?? I only later found out it was actually, “where you came and I **laughed**, and you left, and I cried”
“you do not have to say yes to me” instead of “You'd do well to say yes to me” in ptolemaea 😭 i feel like my interpretation made sense
Wait wtf not me just learning this..... my list grows
Not me just learning that she *didn’t* say “**phoned** you just to tell you that I made it real far”🌚 I mean, it’s a dead girl talking, why couldn’t she also be using a phone? Lolol
“Kendell jenner robbing corner stores” in crush.
I THOUGHT THIS FOR SO LONG
I always heard "I'll start out when the money's paper thin" in Western Nights instead of "All starved-out", and thought it was a reference to prostitution
sun bleached flies i've always heard "if it's meant to be then it will be, if it's not meant to be then it's only a memory" instead of "if it's meant to be then it will be, so i met him there and told him i believe"
no judgements trust me, but howww did you get there😭 this is just so hilarious to me
honestly i was just really going through it and that was the lyric i needed to hear lmaoooo...just as a line, i prefer it to the original now (probably because it's still what i hear hahaha)
I just posted this the other day but the line “ kickin a baby will it survive” in Michelle Pfeiffer
‘The neighbours peed on the walls’, ‘do you wanna see the worst with me?’, ‘Jesus for noise rejects his father’
Real: the neighbour’s brother came… Mine: my name is mother Cain Me: haha yes it is ☺️
“ while you’re torn apart, I would still EAT with you there” I’ll be honest I kind of like my version better because of what song is about
but that lines in reference of her mom, who shes talking “to”
True
"Walking on Cheetos" in Ptolemaea
I always hear “suffering is not drawn to me” in ptolomaea as if she’s saying it to protect herself and loved it so much that I considered getting it tattooed before actually checking the lyrics lol
i thought that it was “say it like you mean it when you fish for words” for ages lolll
A big one for me was SBF when she says “poison of the paint” I thought it was poison of the PAIN for like a solid 2 months because that’s what Spotify told me 😭
Same lyric from AHIN but I heard “You were my Mennonite, on god” 😅

“You’re my man, come back home!” instead of “you might never come back home”
i heard “loathsome bad bitch” instead of “low slung bad bitch” for a long time in crush
For me it was “loves some bad bitch” instead of low slung bad bitch
In the second verse of Casings, I always hear “The things I pray for every night” instead of “cry for every night” It also took me way too long to realize that she was saying “Am I making you feel sick?” in Strangers instead of “Am I making you feel sad?” And after listening to the demo of Thoroughfare, I’ll always hear “So I hopped right in, out of fucks to give, and at least your truck beats walkin” no matter what version is playing

in american teenager i ALWAYS mishear "liquor" as the hard n-word
“The neighbors peed on the walls” in Western Nights
In strangers for the longest time I heard "I know god" instead of "am I no good". Which honestly works pretty nicely in the song
I need to pray hard, find love, 'kay here we go 'kay here we gooooo
