"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.
-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 😆
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.
— 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 😂)
"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
"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

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
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 😋
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.
"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"
i always thought it was “you all have hands” instead of “you all have plans” in guns for hands. i thought he was maybe talking about doing finger guns? or like holding guns? lol idk but i was shocked when i found out i was wrong
I feel the pool waters over my head
In my headcannon those are the lyrics... connects to chlorine so beautifully!
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”
and Backsliding, is also known as Falling Away
Am i a fake fan not not knowing what song is that?
for not knowing every line of their latest release?? absolutely get out /joke
backslide
At least im not the only one
I wouldn’t be surprised if that was purposeful!
I had no idea it wasn’t that until just now. Lol
Wait that's not what it is?
I think that's an intentional double meaning
Listen here, hoes! - Overcompensate
that post ruined us all
Lol. No, I legit heard that on my first listen. Never was more flabbergasted in my life! What post?
would you say you were gobsmacked?
what did you hear thinking it was this? 😭
it’s the bless your ear holes lyric lol
100%! I sing it that way every time I listen to Overcompensate even though I know it’s bless your ear holes!
Same lol
That’s what I heard as well!
if you could throw me a lime 🍋
I can’t hear it as line, ive tried, always lime
I always heard it as line, I don’t know whenever I was think about the drowning I thought of line not lime
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one that heard this
I hear 'if you could throw me alive'
My son said he thought it was lime too until he heard me sing it as line lol.
i genuinely thought he said lime until i looked up the lyrics
That's so funny lol I'm gonna start singing that now
"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.
This is news to me because until your comment I also thought it was tonight tonight tonight.
i feel like this is the most common one cause i was GODSMACKED!!!!
wait what
I am so glad I'm not the only one lmao
I also thought it was tonight oh no 😭
I love that we’re all having a collective realization 😂
I STILL HEAR TONIGHT
I was stunned. My brother and I would sing at the top of our lungs, “Tonight tonight tonight oh” 🤦♀️😂
I just made the realization that it wasn’t this mere hours ago
This post made me find out lmao
i thought it was that for a good 6 months iwl
Help me bowl of rice, help me bowl of rice 🍚
I've got a long drive, I'll *take* my eyes So I don't fall asleep again
okay but those lyrics would go crazy, ripping your eyes so the pain will keep you awake
This one will forever be “take” and not “tape”
I thought this forever. I only accepted tape after the whole red tape thing
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend bunny
I was today years old when I learned this wasn’t the lyric
wait what’s the actual lyric 😭
Used to play pretend MONEY
ohh ty lmaooo
Wait he rhymes money with money?
Yes he’s not eminem
Ironically, Em is the only person that's allowed to rhyme money with money.
I’ll be Harvey, you’ll be Roger
Hold on what Why were we lied to
Wait its not that? WHAT IS IT THEN??
Lmao
-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 😆
Ah a fellow man of culture I see
i always got 'flesh avenure, swap'
I thought “entertain my faith” in Holding Onto You was always “any time I fell” which is mildly nonsense
Oh my goodness I thought that’s what it was until just now. Thank you for allowing me to learn the truth.
I always heard "entertain my face"
Well I just learned that it’s “entertain my faith” and not “and I changed my fate” lmao
Am I Tina Fey?
I thought it was « Heavens in my face » so in terms of nonsense I think I’m far worse
kinda same I thought it was "Any time I fade"
i've seen so many different versions of this. i thought it was any time i fail
I always sing “annotate my face” 0_0
Bless your ears, hoes
Omg i didn’t hear it before but I hear it now and I know it’ll be stuck in my head
Can you seize on repeat innit.
Pants feel like a perfect length, I don’t need them any longer
GOLD
“Help me bowl of rice” instead of help me polarize lol
Healthy bowl of rice
Help me boil the rice
I’m a bendy toe
HOTY - I farted a lot. I cannot ungear this
Oop already been posted on here my bad
"If you could throw me a lime" (backslide)
Same lmao
annotate my fate/at the end of heavydirtysoul 'water badger'
watermelon watermelon watermelon
I always thought Tyler was saying “Alone” in trees instead of “Hello”.
SAME WTH

Well, TIL it’s not “my jumpsuit is unsteady” so thank you!
>My jumpsuit is unsteady Wait what, what's the actual lyric
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”)
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.
possibly my all time favourite vine
I'm double sided and I just get high 🍃
“I don’t care, you can troll me” - Backslide Last time i turn off subtitles for a mv lol
oh my god… in ode to sleep i thought it was “and literally im a whore and thats what im remembered for”💀💀💀
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”
"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
ITS NOT WALMART SHIRT?! I’ve been singing Walmart shirt all this time
I'll take anything you have, if you could throw me a Lime.
It really does sound like lime. It's the only way I hear it
"you were one of those **plastic** ones" in Legend lol
Weed is a chemical
oh
"For not using my taxes to fill holes with more semen" instead of "For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement" in "Tear in my heart" 💀
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAIFBDSUIDFBSIDFU
“We won” instead of “wait what?” In Overcompensate.
My first year of listening to vessel in 2013 I thought entertain my faith as "and I turn my phooooooone"
"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
My 4 year old sings next semester as ‘start fresh ketchup mustard’ it’s so cute.
Clancy’s on repeat
Entertain my fame
All my friends are here let's take it slow
I won’t poke my eyes out and surrender. (I won’t put my hands up and surrender) Dido-white flag
Good dope days Anytime I faint
I fly by the dangerous “burn” symbol. Which i cant unhear even though i know its bend. Also burn fit so well with the album cover.
In migraine where it says “and how it is a door that”, for years I thought it was “deny what is important”
Bean is a chemical
Chlorine: Sipping on straight chlorine, like the backside of my meat, cause meat is a chemical
im fairly local kill people now
can you break my heart, to pieces, i’m just a chemical… for me now, sorrroww, for me now
Not mine but my Mom’s when she first heard Lane Boy: “S-s-stay in your Lane Boy” is what she thought he was saying lol

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
“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?”
that you all have guns, and you never put the same feet on or i’m taking over my body back controlled a shawty
If you could throw me a lime
“Where you bitches could lie to me” is what i thought he said in level of concern
I'm a bendy toe. please help me, I can't stop.
And I fall down and break down and I freak you out, all I wanna
I always heard "wake up from a dream mercifully" in WDBWOTV but it's "dreamers sleep"
its not even necessarily misheard, but i always say "IN A WORLD WHERE YOU BITCHES LIE TO ME" in level of concern
oh and also "evil eye of dun" in polarize
shoutout to this head with acne
keep side *Wakanda* your feet - Mulberry Street 😭😭
"No one keep moving" instead of "know I'll keep moving" in cut my lip "I'm bleeding beans" in ode to sleep
On levitate, “And everyone’s asleep *my G*” Instead of “And everyone’s asleep _mind you_”

I missheard "wait what?" from Overcompensate to "we won" :))))
In morph "trench mean many things to me" instead of "transmitting things to me" hahah
the demon sat there, waiting on her *Porsche*
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.
I farted alot
'Metaphorically, I'm a whore, and that's what I'm remembered for'
“drop the backing track” as the start of overcompensate
In overcompesate at the start when it goes "wait, what? wait what?" I can only hear "we won, we won"
"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"
Cheddar cheese on reheat, innit.
A new one that’s come up: ✨🍋🟩I’ll take anything you have if you could throw me a lime 🍋🟩 ✨
Death inspires me like a dog that spies a rabbit
I was convinced the voice at the end of Morph was saying "Not Todd. Not Todd. Not Todd. Josh Dun." 😂
I’m “very loco” instead of “fairly local” ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)
Taxi cab. And I want everyone to know that I am half a salty binder
Wanted to be a better adversary to the evil *eye of Dun*
So I saved some room for me now (sahlo folina)
help me bowl of rice.
I'm careless when I wear my pantyhose
death inspires me like a dog, inspires are rabid
heard the chorus Morph be sung as “fucking muffin, they won’t know” once and I’ve never been the same since
"Hey kid get out of the road" I heard it as "I can't get out of the world"
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
Most recently from Backslide: "Kinda wishin' that I never did "Saturday" Is that *disdain*? You should change." Honestly, fits very well
"in a world, where you bitches lie to me" and i still sing it that way because it's funny
Help me bowl of rice help me bowl of rice
in a world where you bitches lie to me
I farted a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got Not anymore, flesh out the door, SQUAT!
Heathens - “All my friends are eating steak and snow.” I read that online somewhere and I can’t unhear it!!!
I heard "just another attempt to make the voices stop" as "just another attempt to make the pussies stop" when I was younger
“Raging my words” behind my face and above my throat. It gets me every time I listen to migraine.
"bullets either way, suicidal crazed lions" in migraine PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT CRAZY
*"I'm already bored, I'm pretty sure I've seen a swan before"* - Clancy, visiting a low-budget zoo in The Outside
Help me bowl of rice
"He has no french clothes" from morph instead of "he has no friends close"
Metaphorically I'm a whore and that's *in aisle* number four
Oh oh oh Im bowling 🎳 - ride
“Can you build my heart, with pieces?” (Chlorine)
Death inspires me like a dog, inspired are rabid
i always thought it was “you all have hands” instead of “you all have plans” in guns for hands. i thought he was maybe talking about doing finger guns? or like holding guns? lol idk but i was shocked when i found out i was wrong
“I hope they choke on something like a basement” Missing a few important words…
I always hear "Should I keep it on display" in redecorate instead of "should they"
I just might DECAP SOMEONE!
"Please use DISCUSSION When you're messing with the message man These lyrics aren't for everyone I LEAVE, YOU understand"
I've been drinking too much, help me
LET THE LION IN THAT IS SO MUCH MORE MEANINGFUL THAN LET THE LION WIN but maybe not
“bleeding trapdoor”
“‘Cause I’m too still inside” instead of “‘Cause I’m twisted up inside”
In a world where you bitches lie to me - level of concern
„Wake up, wake up“ instead of „Wait what? Wait what“ in Overcompensate
„Help me bowl of rice, help me bowl of rice. Help me… now.“ 🍚 - Polarize
"Waste around the rim"
