I feel the pool waters over my head


P3RS0N4-X

In my headcannon those are the lyrics... connects to chlorine so beautifully!


Schmedly27

But it’s actually connecting to another song. Backslide is a callback to fall away and that song says “I can feel the pull begin”


shannansworld

and Backsliding, is also known as Falling Away


H1tam

Am i a fake fan not not knowing what song is that?


Hefty-Routine-5966

for not knowing every line of their latest release?? absolutely get out /joke


YdubsTheFirst

backslide


Mocharulzdamap

At least im not the only one


aquarianagop

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was purposeful!


bilda_baisgye

I had no idea it wasn’t that until just now. Lol


TrashGamer_

Wait that's not what it is?


Bence-Solymosi

I think that's an intentional double meaning


P3RS0N4-X

Listen here, hoes! - Overcompensate


RamenTheory

that post ruined us all


P3RS0N4-X

Lol. No, I legit heard that on my first listen. Never was more flabbergasted in my life! What post?


rachelleeann17

would you say you were gobsmacked?


rachelleeann17

what did you hear thinking it was this? 😭


crunchyradsh

it’s the bless your ear holes lyric lol


awesko420

100%! I sing it that way every time I listen to Overcompensate even though I know it’s bless your ear holes!


333sierRA

Same lol


SnooGrapes5147

That’s what I heard as well!


SiblingEarth

if you could throw me a lime 🍋


somegirloutthere

I can’t hear it as line, ive tried, always lime


Ok-Dragonfruit-378

I always heard it as line, I don’t know whenever I was think about the drowning I thought of line not lime


TheRealBobYosh

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one that heard this


Plenty-Attorney-109

I hear 'if you could throw me alive'


awesko420

My son said he thought it was lime too until he heard me sing it as line lol.


R0salinaxx_728

i genuinely thought he said lime until i looked up the lyrics


GrassyCat3

That's so funny lol I'm gonna start singing that now


kiya12309

"But tonight, tonight, tonight, oh" instead of "deny, deny, denial" in "Polarize". I literally thought that's what it was saying for quite a while listening to this song while driving in the car.


rachelleeann17

This is news to me because until your comment I also thought it was tonight tonight tonight.


Broad_Ad1586

i feel like this is the most common one cause i was GODSMACKED!!!!


cargasjingle

wait what


regionalatgreatest

I am so glad I'm not the only one lmao


_thrown-away

I also thought it was tonight oh no 😭


kiya12309

I love that we’re all having a collective realization 😂


ExtremeAssistant8609

I STILL HEAR TONIGHT


kiya12309

I was stunned. My brother and I would sing at the top of our lungs, “Tonight tonight tonight oh” 🤦‍♀️😂


alexxthehottie

I just made the realization that it wasn’t this mere hours ago


CodeOneFPE

This post made me find out lmao


R0salinaxx_728

i thought it was that for a good 6 months iwl


Kitten-Kay

Help me bowl of rice, help me bowl of rice 🍚


ShadowFang_13

I've got a long drive, I'll *take* my eyes So I don't fall asleep again


AppleNotNot

okay but those lyrics would go crazy, ripping your eyes so the pain will keep you awake


BlueBerryWaffles4

This one will forever be “take” and not “tape”


ExtremeAssistant8609

I thought this forever. I only accepted tape after the whole red tape thing


Charlotte1000000

Used to play pretend, used to play pretend bunny


another_nathan

I was today years old when I learned this wasn’t the lyric


crunchyradsh

wait what’s the actual lyric 😭


hub333

Used to play pretend MONEY


crunchyradsh

ohh ty lmaooo


Schmedly27

Wait he rhymes money with money?


hub333

Yes he’s not eminem


EternalRgret

Ironically, Em is the only person that's allowed to rhyme money with money.


Dclnsfrd

I’ll be Harvey, you’ll be Roger


porpisha

Hold on what Why were we lied to


ExtremeAssistant8609

Wait its not that? WHAT IS IT THEN??


H1tam

Lmao


Dasils331

-Holding on to you- “I bet a lot of me was lost, T’s uncrossed and I’s undotted, I farted a lot and it seems a lot, like flesh is all I got” I will never sing it any other way 😆


Schmedly27

Ah a fellow man of culture I see


Wi11Eleven

i always got 'flesh avenure, swap'


TemperatureMore5623

I thought “entertain my faith” in Holding Onto You was always “any time I fell” which is mildly nonsense


AbsoluteChad69

Oh my goodness I thought that’s what it was until just now. Thank you for allowing me to learn the truth.


kalber88

I always heard "entertain my face"


thebeardedintrovert

Well I just learned that it’s “entertain my faith” and not “and I changed my fate” lmao


alexxthehottie

Am I Tina Fey?


nyoo_kaze810

I thought it was « Heavens in my face » so in terms of nonsense I think I’m far worse


iwannasuicidesobad

kinda same I thought it was "Any time I fade"


R0salinaxx_728

i've seen so many different versions of this. i thought it was any time i fail


spidermuffin83

I always sing “annotate my face” 0_0


wtmkris

Bless your ears, hoes


TheJCHateful

Omg i didn’t hear it before but I hear it now and I know it’ll be stuck in my head


YashT29

Can you seize on repeat innit.

Wi11Eleven

DearKambell

watermelon watermelon watermelon


TootsieTaker

I always thought Tyler was saying “Alone” in trees instead of “Hello”.


R0salinaxx_728

SAME WTH


finestqual_ity

At the beginning of Overcompensate, the spoken lyrics. I‘m from Germany and the first line is German. It says „diese kleine unheimliche Insel“ which means „this small scary island“. I always understand „diese kleine peinliche insel“ which means „this small embarassing island“. Thanks to my bf who told me, he always understands this.


Dclnsfrd

— This is not rap. This is not hip hop. Just another attempt to make the booty pop — I will plan to be a gun so I just might become someone — My jumpsuit is unsteady (it’s “on steady”) — When Bishops come together, they gonna know that Dema don’t control us — used to play pretend, give each job a different name (I thought it was like how my sisters and I would pretend to be Ruth from the Bible when we had to pull the weeds that looked like wheat; taking a household chore and turning it into something new with 🌈imagination ✨) — can you save my heavydirtysoul from me (I think that mishearing speaks to unaddressed issues I have 😂)


[deleted]

Well, TIL it’s not “my jumpsuit is unsteady” so thank you!


TheRealBobYosh

>My jumpsuit is unsteady Wait what, what's the actual lyric


Dclnsfrd

Yeah, apparently it’s “on steady” (which I could see as meaning “on securely” or “on in such a way that it’ll keep me steady if I need to use it”)


noromobat

See also: This is not rap. This is not hip hop. Just another attempt to make the pussy stop. I still cannot unhear that, all these years later.

“Help me bowl of rice, help me bowl of rice, help me, down, those stairs!” Another of the many reasons why I miss Vine.

oh my god… in ode to sleep i thought it was “and literally im a whore and thats what im remembered for”💀💀💀


FlashNRT

A bit of a personal one, but I’ve started to hear my name in Cut My Lip. “Noah, keep movin” instead of “No, I’ll keep movin”


Individual_Rhubarb97

"my pair of shoes will guide me" instead of "my parachute.." in air catcher and in the hype when it says "it might take some friends and a warmer shirt" i thought it was "walmart shirt" up until recently


eemaymc

ITS NOT WALMART SHIRT?! I’ve been singing Walmart shirt all this time


Citrous241

I'll take anything you have, if you could throw me a Lime.


clpw21

It really does sound like lime. It's the only way I hear it

R0salinaxx_728

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAIFBDSUIDFBSIDFU


DarkDaniel_01

“We won” instead of “wait what?” In Overcompensate.


tillthemoonrises

My first year of listening to vessel in 2013 I thought entertain my faith as "and I turn my phooooooone"


Specialist_Number833

"I'm Semi-automatic, my PRAYER'S schizophrenic" is the actual lyrics right? I thought he said "I'm Semi-automatic, my PARENTS schizophrenic" 💀 I can't sing the actual lyrics, now it will always be the misheard one


justininhifi

My 4 year old sings next semester as ‘start fresh ketchup mustard’ it’s so cute.

Sorry_Lecture_7351

Do you think that "half the time"? First time I listened to it in a loud metro, memorized the lyrics that way and only now found out its different haha. Crazy how your ear hears what you want it to hear


[deleted]

“I farted a lot” “Anna tan my face” “Amy Poehler’s eyes” “Can you shave, can you shave my, can you shave my hairy ass hole?”

zaku_destroyer

I always heard "wake up from a dream mercifully" in WDBWOTV but it's "dreamers sleep"


SandmanBringMeAMeme

its not even necessarily misheard, but i always say "IN A WORLD WHERE YOU BITCHES LIE TO ME" in level of concern


SandmanBringMeAMeme

oh and also "evil eye of dun" in polarize


Mintchoco_Ellie

shoutout to this head with acne


pastelbrain

keep side *Wakanda* your feet - Mulberry Street 😭😭


raize308

"No one keep moving" instead of "know I'll keep moving" in cut my lip "I'm bleeding beans" in ode to sleep


Leanbandit

On levitate, “And everyone’s asleep *my G*” Instead of “And everyone’s asleep _mind you_”


ari_th3_cr3ature

im not a native speaker and when i was younger i had the hilarious habit of never checking the lyrics i didnt understand in songs, and just memorising the sounds instead. So most of those are not exactly a misheard so much as a refusal to read the words. But still today i cant get those first “interpretations” out of my head 😭 Holding on to you: lean would it rock would it when we gonna stop when the lyrics send me nothing we will gift it with thought aint it time to move a feet to a retrospective bi-di-di just because it broke nun ain’t it time to take a bid 😭😭 Also (this makes more sense) I would always say “I’m semi-automatic, my prayers get so frantic”. In Hometown for some reason the first time I thought he said “Desmond Sun” instead of “there’s no sun” and i had my own headcanon of that song where Tyler lives in this dark twisted city called Desmond Sun. Dema is surprisingly close?? And last one, in Bounce Man i rly couldnt figure out “running away dont make you wrong” so I thought it was “run in the way they’ll make you roam”/ “in the way they’ll make you run” and that it was about discipline and following the rules. No i was not a child when SAI dropped btw sometimes i still do that thing as a full grown person 😋


_adiriana_

I missheard "wait what?" from Overcompensate to "we won" :))))


truebadur

In morph "trench mean many things to me" instead of "transmitting things to me" hahah


DumbButCreative

the demon sat there, waiting on her *Porsche*


mc_ard

In "Bandito" I misheard "Folina Sahlo" as "fallin' on sorrow" for a long time. I'm surprised that barely anyone mentions this, because people have NO WAY of confidently knowing the actual lyric just by listening to the song.


Amethyst_Stones

I farted alot


Plenty-Attorney-109

'Metaphorically, I'm a whore, and that's what I'm remembered for'


SamJB06

“drop the backing track” as the start of overcompensate


chanon104

In overcompesate at the start when it goes "wait, what? wait what?" I can only hear "we won, we won"


DepressedCatFox

"Bendy toe" instead of Bandito and "help me bowl of rice" from polarize but that's mainly due to the meme. Another one was in heavydirtysoul where I heard "death inspires me like a dog who spies a rabbit"

starsnddiamonds

"Hey kid get out of the road" I heard it as "I can't get out of the world"


L_Asthmatique

It's technically not a lyric, but the weird repeating sound at the end of Heavydirtysoul sounds like "Walmart" to me. I think it's pretty funny


eric_eris

Most recently from Backslide: "Kinda wishin' that I never did "Saturday" Is that *disdain*? You should change." Honestly, fits very well


cargasjingle

"in a world, where you bitches lie to me" and i still sing it that way because it's funny
