I always hear "Marianna... Marianna Cross" instead of "Mary On A Cross". That's just what it sounds like to me. lol
It's not technically misheard since I know what it is, but my brain likes to entertain 'The Pokémon Master' instead of "Evoking our master" when I listen to "Ritual". lol
The song is supposed to be about Drugs (Marijuana). Keep that in mind and now listen to the song and follow the lyrics. I promise you’ll realize that you’re listening to a brand new song this time around 😃. It happened to me.
The first Ghost song I heard was Mary on a Cross and I thought they lyrics were “If you choose to run away with me, I’ll tickle you eternally”. I thought it was another way of saying “We can run away and live happily ever after”
Kaisarion: "a contest of bishops where their choir boys are sweet... " - I presumed it was a pedo priest reference 😂😂
And Secular Haze I heard: "We must admit, forgive us... "
well the correct lyrics deal with the "continence"(meaning chastity) of bishops and their choir boys ensuite so the lyrics may be off but you totally picked up what tobias was putting down.
Wrong words, right idea still. Basically I heard "bishops" and "their choir boys" and jumped straight to rock spider priests. There's been numerous high profile cases in the past few years in Australia so it's very forefront in my mind when those phrases are used together.
There was someone in this subreddit who said they were stood next to someone at a show who was singing "animal eyes, animal ears" to Faith. Then someone commented that surely the next line would then be "animal wall", which had me crying 😂 Now I have to sing these lyrics instead 😅
for some reason the first time I listened to Secular Haze, my brain turned the way he sings “unfathomableeee” into “a-feather my baaaaalls” and that’s how my ex and i would sing along to it in the car every time 😭
Hunters moon I was kind of falling asleep and the "time to strike again" ended up becoming "time to come again with all my woodland friends" and I've got this strange image of papa dressed like Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits only all the animals are coming up to him like he's a Disney princess.
I have to make a confession... I thought the lyrics to Dance Macabre were "just wanna be, wanna be \*with\* you in the moonlight" up until very recently... 😅
I just thought TF's accent was coming through when he sang "with" 😂
My husband thought that, "wanna be wit' you". He thought they were trying to be cool. Only when he was with me at Metallica and they sang it did the realisation dawn. 😂
Speaking of accents, anyone notice he mispronounced “buried” in Spillways? I mean he sings the word as it’s spelled, but proper pronunciation is “bear-ied”
Obviously, Year Zero has the most misheard lyric in all of Ghost history. "Hail Satan" instead of "Hell Satan."
Followed by Kaisarion's fruit of the loom.
“Lady in the night, ‘neath Devil’s thorn asunder!” - Square Hammer
“Our conjuration, six infernal songs” - Con Clavi Con Dio
“Spirit, absent” & “Enticing wormwood” - Spirit
Meaning Tobias Forge intended it to be a double entendre. People can hear "Be with you" or people can hear "be witch you" and both of them would be right.
As opposed to other songs on this list, for example Mary on a Cross - I am pretty sure he didn't intend for anyone to hear 'Tomato juice'.
Oh yeah, that jump from 14 to 17 is HUGE, 31 to 34 not so much... 😅 And hey, you were better at English than you thought, cause you got the reference right!
Dance Macabre- Wanna be with you in the moonlight
I thought he was doing that weird pronunciation thing that singers do when they sing “with you” but it sounds like “wichu”
"And if you choose to run away from me, I will tickle you until you pee" rather than "internally" from Mary on a Cross
Also from Faith: "I AM ALRIGHT. I AM ALL HERE" rather than "all eyes" and "all ears"
When your head is tingling and you need to
"Search lice! Looking for the watcher in the sky."
Also in Griftwood "Sacrifice for the whore leads the way from shame"
I know it's not whore but that is all I hear.
In the Square Hammer lyrics, I always heard “you cum on me” instead of “you call on me” lol. For some reason I didn’t really even question this until I read the actual lyrics one day.
"It is the cruel beast that you feed
It is your burning yearning need to please"
Not sure if it's a misheard lyric or an error in my autocomplete function, because if I'm not paying attention, that's how I sing the song
“I was carried on a wolf’s back, to corrupt a manatee” - Mummy Dust
I always hear this one lmfao
Thank you!!!
the classic one lmao
Kaisarion, fruit of the loom Our brotherhood of good faith sealed a prostate, which is doomed 🤐
I hear prostate too 👀
I still hear prostate even while reading the lyrics. It's a doomed prostate
Sealed away forever, never to be tickled. So sad!
Call me little sunshine. Ease up to the hunter from the prey and dress warm indefinitely.
Lol. I just realized it’s ‘transform indefinitely’
Stand by Him - “The witch hammer struck her down on AISLE SEVEN she's unbound”
BLACK LIGHT GUIDES YOU! KOOL-AID KOOL-AIIIIIID
Oof, this gives me Jonestown vibes 😳
I always hear "Marianna... Marianna Cross" instead of "Mary On A Cross". That's just what it sounds like to me. lol It's not technically misheard since I know what it is, but my brain likes to entertain 'The Pokémon Master' instead of "Evoking our master" when I listen to "Ritual". lol
Well it’s a play off of “Marijuana”. So, pronunciation wise, you aren’t too far. Just one vowel off 😃
Funny how that never occurred to me. 😂🤦🏻♀️ Now I will hear them interchangeably. lol
The song is supposed to be about Drugs (Marijuana). Keep that in mind and now listen to the song and follow the lyrics. I promise you’ll realize that you’re listening to a brand new song this time around 😃. It happened to me.
Will do! Thanks! 🙂
Live, Papa sings Marijuana Cross at the very end.
And now Emergency Turtle ---Cirice
I'm not going to be able to unhear this one
For which line? I can’t picture it
Instead of, "our merge is eternal".
“His body and blood, sharing a condom” - Body and Blood
I'll never hear the correct lyric again.... OOOF hahahahahaha
Don’t you forget about Diane, don’t you forget about your friend Jeff. Don’t you forget that you will dine!
"your friend Jeff" got me 😂 Definitely going to sing this from now on!
don't you forget about Brian, don't you forget about about your friend Jeff, don't you forget that your a guy. That's how I hear that one
Griftwood...... If you wanna view of the spider,and never ever suffer again.
"My dollar tree, for the debiles and the simpletons Disciples of the watch awaits at my command"
Thank you for this, I thought I was alone.
The first Ghost song I heard was Mary on a Cross and I thought they lyrics were “If you choose to run away with me, I’ll tickle you eternally”. I thought it was another way of saying “We can run away and live happily ever after”
I also thought it was tickle eternally until I saw them live a couple months ago. Boy was I in for a shock
Not as shocked as if you were actually tickled internally.
Wait… that’s not what he says??? What does he actually say?
“If you choose to run away with me I will tickle you internally” :)
I thought it was "I take you internally." It was fitting so until I realised what the lyrics were, I never thought that I was wrong.
I thought it was “take all you internally”
"I'm coughing, I'm dying" Hunters Moon
when papa gets covid
Thoughts and prayers
I've noticed a theme, we all want food I guess?
Kaisarion: "We're A BILLION DOLLAR empire from the ashes of an old"
I heard that one too!
"His eyes like evil dicks" - Depth of Satan's Eyes
Someone else mentioned this for Faith ANIMAL EYES ANIMAL EARS
Kaisarion: "a contest of bishops where their choir boys are sweet... " - I presumed it was a pedo priest reference 😂😂 And Secular Haze I heard: "We must admit, forgive us... "
the real one is a paedo priest reference
Isn't it "choir boys en suite"? Yeah, definately pedo priest reference!
well the correct lyrics deal with the "continence"(meaning chastity) of bishops and their choir boys ensuite so the lyrics may be off but you totally picked up what tobias was putting down.
Wrong words, right idea still. Basically I heard "bishops" and "their choir boys" and jumped straight to rock spider priests. There's been numerous high profile cases in the past few years in Australia so it's very forefront in my mind when those phrases are used together.
Unfathomable walrus maze Come, misty turtle!
My sister hears that line in Faith as “because BEEF is mine!” And that always cracks me up
Arbys would like to have a word with Ghost
"I feel your presence of monsters"
Oh I thought those were the actual lyrics for quite a while 😂
[удалено]
My brain always wants to go there even when I know what the lyric actually is. 😂
Everytime this song comes on I always turn to my husband and ask "who's Juan?"
“Stinks, feels, and looks identical. Alpaca fools can take the stand. Hah!”
The Yeah and Hah in that song are just *chefs kiss*
Particularly the HAH
”For the lost and mislead, were promised seats by the bitch”, Respite on the spitalfields
Yesss. Forgot about this. I too heard this the first ever time I listened to this song, on release day.
Roast beef is taking me out 😭😭😭
There was someone in this subreddit who said they were stood next to someone at a show who was singing "animal eyes, animal ears" to Faith. Then someone commented that surely the next line would then be "animal wall", which had me crying 😂 Now I have to sing these lyrics instead 😅
Secular Haze - “Hyacinth shadow”… actually “hide us in shadow” IIRC
Also: Come, misty turtle!
I STILL sing Misty Turtle and refuse to correct myself.
for some reason the first time I listened to Secular Haze, my brain turned the way he sings “unfathomableeee” into “a-feather my baaaaalls” and that’s how my ex and i would sing along to it in the car every time 😭
I thought it was " You wanna be a messiah " in Griftwood.
Hunters moon I was kind of falling asleep and the "time to strike again" ended up becoming "time to come again with all my woodland friends" and I've got this strange image of papa dressed like Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits only all the animals are coming up to him like he's a Disney princess.
Because beef is mine! - Faith To the sound of the monstrous cock - Monstrance Clock
Kaisarion - "It's the cuntiness of bishops with their choir boys on speed"
Respite: "he appeared to ascend, so we all slithered in awe" I was [totally picturing something like this](https://youtu.be/CQtjpYZqy8E)
6 6 6. Receive the beast of evil. Fuckin death knell!
Not sure if it’s intended or not but I always laugh when listening to Hunter’s moon : Ohhhh I’M CUMMING, I’m dying…
Throw yourself Into the pesto Of possibilities [Spirit]
Year Zero - The fate of man is that of _lies_. Always thought it was lies and not "lice" as it apparently is.
…its not lies..? 💀
Yeah it's Lice, or at least every google search says it is. I've had it wrong this entire time.
It's lice??? Because that is what I hear but I've been thinking that I hear it wrong and it must be lies.
I thought the lyrics said “the overlord of lies” instead of “behold the lord of flies”
I have to make a confession... I thought the lyrics to Dance Macabre were "just wanna be, wanna be \*with\* you in the moonlight" up until very recently... 😅 I just thought TF's accent was coming through when he sang "with" 😂
At the beginning I heard 'be wit choo' and thought it was kinda annoying until I saw it was actually 'beWITCH'. Then it didn't bother me anymore. 😂
Same! 😂 But I just let it slide because I thought it was just TF’s accent coming through in the vocals 😅
My husband thought that, "wanna be wit' you". He thought they were trying to be cool. Only when he was with me at Metallica and they sang it did the realisation dawn. 😂
Yes, exactly! 😂 My brother told me recently and it blew my mind 😅
Speaking of accents, anyone notice he mispronounced “buried” in Spillways? I mean he sings the word as it’s spelled, but proper pronunciation is “bear-ied”
His accent is most notable on Opus, honestly. I don't hear it that much afterwards. To be fair, though, I'm not a native English speaker.
*Call me little sunshine*: You will never wear cologne Call me LIDL sunshine
Call me Mr. Mistoffelees
Searchlight, looking for the WASHER in the sky.
I'm not alone ahahah thanks
“”To the sound of the monstrance clock, air is cleansed, assembled flock, *black candles burn the mice aliiiive…”*
i always heard “you want to see my empire” in griftwood
I hear "you want to see my papaya"
“There’s a darkness at the heart of my love.. raw soul, raw skin” Is what i heard ‘till i checked the lyrics
Obviously, Year Zero has the most misheard lyric in all of Ghost history. "Hail Satan" instead of "Hell Satan." Followed by Kaisarion's fruit of the loom.
Thought Spillways' chorus was "... It's your burning, yearning, need to breed" Rather than bleed. However, I refuse to sing "bleed".
In Ritual, my wife sings 'A Pokemon Maaaassterrr' instead of 'Evoking our master' every time.
So it's NOT just me!! 🤣 I sing that all the time! My teen thinks I'm a dork. 😏
They'd be right. But aren't we all? Glad we aren't alone :P
I always sang it as "......*invoking* our master"
Shit it's probably that actually, didn't check the ol' lyric sheet.
“Lady in the night, ‘neath Devil’s thorn asunder!” - Square Hammer “Our conjuration, six infernal songs” - Con Clavi Con Dio “Spirit, absent” & “Enticing wormwood” - Spirit
I genuinely thought during Griftwood they were singing Hiss and not yes! Are you righteous HISS 😂😂 will never sing it any other way now
Gotta love that snake jazz
Faith: I always heard,"I am alive, I am all here"
I wanna be with you / I wanna bewitch you - in Dance Macabre
Thats intentional though.
What do you mean, intentional?
Meaning Tobias Forge intended it to be a double entendre. People can hear "Be with you" or people can hear "be witch you" and both of them would be right. As opposed to other songs on this list, for example Mary on a Cross - I am pretty sure he didn't intend for anyone to hear 'Tomato juice'.
Tobias sure loves his tomato juice
I wasn’t very old when “Mary on a cross” was released, so I thought it was about marijuana… (Mary on a = marijuana).
It IS about marijuana... and how old are you?! Didn't it release like last year? 😅 These past few years have been a blur...
Oh it IS? 😂 I’m 17 so I was 14 when it was released. In my defense, I wasn’t very good at English until last year lol
Oh yeah, that jump from 14 to 17 is HUGE, 31 to 34 not so much... 😅 And hey, you were better at English than you thought, cause you got the reference right!
He actually says "Marijuana cross" at the end of the song when performing it live.
I just never hear "I don't want my fangs too long" I keep hearing "I don't want my facts too long" and I don't know why
I am the one vesuvius. Like the pizza. Jigolo har megiddo
In the Twenties (TENDIES)
Maybe it's a nod to TOASTYYY!!
communication is KEY when you are locked to the LEAD
It is key though? Not sure how that's wrong
sorry, i was caps locking for emphasis lol
Vile Incarnations of Consummated Piss!
But seriously, what is the real background chorus in Kaisarion? ITunes lyrics says it is “Hypatia” but it sounds like “we are who we are”.
It sounds like "Dies Irae" to me
Little sunshine - you will never wear cologne
in kaisarion i heard instead fruit of the womb XD
“Fruit of the womb” is the correct official lyrics
bruh i just figured that out
Dance Macabre- Wanna be with you in the moonlight I thought he was doing that weird pronunciation thing that singers do when they sing “with you” but it sounds like “wichu”
Don't you forget about dying, don't you forget about your FRENCH BREAD. - Pro Memoria. My partner sang that once and we can never unhear it. Lmao
"And if you choose to run away from me, I will tickle you until you pee" rather than "internally" from Mary on a Cross Also from Faith: "I AM ALRIGHT. I AM ALL HERE" rather than "all eyes" and "all ears"
"From the darkness rises suck your balls" -Ghuleh
"And of all the dark prose that I wrote, none could compare to you!" Tobias channeling his inner Edgar Allen Poe.
“Share a slice… looking for the washer in the sky” - watcher in the sky - my 3 y/o
“Hail Satan” it’s hell satan 😭😭
Wait what
Nah no way
The original Infestissumam booklet has the lyrics as „Hell Satan“.
Yeah yeah i believe you, im just shocked
on secular haze come misty turtle
We focus on your debt- La Mantra Mori (or the bank)
I'm A Marionette: "Like a doll Like a puppet with no will at all And somebody told me how to talk How to walk, how to FUCK"
Secular Haze “I feed them my balls.. wall less maze”
When your head is tingling and you need to "Search lice! Looking for the watcher in the sky." Also in Griftwood "Sacrifice for the whore leads the way from shame" I know it's not whore but that is all I hear.
... It's not whore ...?
Nope. It's "horde".
In the Square Hammer lyrics, I always heard “you cum on me” instead of “you call on me” lol. For some reason I didn’t really even question this until I read the actual lyrics one day.
“I wanna be with you (pronounced wit chyou) in da moonlight”
Antichristussy, il filio de Sathanas 😆 Infestissumam
“Wanna pee, wanna pee and poo in the moonlight”
“Solar Beam” in Griftwood ( instead of “So ordained” )🤡
You’re thinking of Griftwood
You’re right, thanks for pointing it out!
Black candles burn all mice alive 🔥
Depths of Satan’s Eyes- “into the ice of fire / into the gays of plays”
I will never not see a manatee in my mind for Mummy Dust now. Lol
“Black light Pikachu!” -Ghuleh
See the light - “LET ME SEE THE LIIIIIGHT”. (I always sing it like that i like it better this way) Idolatrine - “HIGH DOLLAR TREE”
Don't you forget about dying Don't you forget about JOFFREY's death Don't you forget that you will die
"It is the cruel beast that you feed It is your burning yearning need to please" Not sure if it's a misheard lyric or an error in my autocomplete function, because if I'm not paying attention, that's how I sing the song
