There’s a break-up song on Chvrch’s debuted album called Tether. One line, frequently repeated, goes “I’m feeling capable of… seeing the end.” A fine lyric, very breakup, much hopeful.
Except, I can’t tell when listening that she isn’t saying “I feel incapable of…” I don’t know if it’s intentional but I think the ambiguity really elevates the song from semi-empowering breakup song to powerfully-relatable song about the chaos of seeing a relationship end; simultaneously believing you can get through it while also having no idea how you’ll ever get through it.
It’s just fun wordplay too: feeling capable/feel incapable. Makes me want to use that structure more in my own writing.
That reminds me of Night Sky, which has “I will ne’er be free” but it sounds a lot like “I will now be free”
The ambiguity might be intentional too! It would allow different ways of reading into the emotions
🎶Wrapped up like a douche, another owner in the night🎶
🎶Hold me closer, Tony Danza🎶
I always thought it was “another rumour in the night” 🥲
the full line from the song is
Yeah, she/he was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Not if you’re referring to the Manfred Mann version: that one was “Revved up like a deuce”.
I like to sing, “Wrapped up like a douche, another rubber in the night” but yours sounds closer. That song is great for this. “Blighted by the right, wrapped up like douche, another Romney in the fight”
And little Early Burly gave my anus curly whirly
And asked me if I needed a ride!
“It’s too late to roll the dice” instead of “it’s too late to apologize” sounds much more meaningful.
That because they really butcher it and say 'poligize.
The worst part is you can actually fit the full word in the same beat but it doesn’t sound dumb af
Ooh, I like this one! I thought it was, “it’s too late to call the job” when I first heard it and was pretty unsure what he was going for…
He’s sad because he was going to call in sick but waited too long.
Yes! Of course. I now have a whole music video of someone hideously hungover, driving to work singing this… Kind of like the “everybody hurts” video but like crazy shit is happening.
So you’re picturing me every morning back when I had to drive in to work. Got it.
Ah, so you are a Bexar drunk? I’m further down i10 myself, not sure I could go through that interchange every day.
Edit: I am being too literal again, I think.
Harris. Also just off 10.
I do know her well! Hi neighbor! I hope you don’t have to suffer the i10 610 interchange daily!
And I’ll sing all night and in the mornin’ light
When your shades are on and your head’s on ice
You’ll know you’ve seen the redneck sodomy
Damn it, Mr.Ingle. Can you not sing “in the garden of eden” without sounding like you have a mouth full of pudding?
Fuck it. We’ll just change the name of the damned song. Who the hell makes a 17 minute long song, anyhow? You’re a damned idiot!
Also, Mr. Miller? What the hell is a pompatus of love??
Huh, thought it was the pamplemousse of love
I cannot hear this song without thinking that the background singers are repeatedly saying “cut your balls off” during the refrain
The music commands and I obey
“Sewing machines of love”
-Tears for Fears
🎶Concrete jungle wet dream toma-to!🎶
I don’t know any misheard lyrics, because I refuse to believe the way I hear the lyrics isn’t correct.
(Actually I used to have a list, but I’m old and I forgot it 😢)
Probably a tad obscure, but at the end of Set (Extended Mix) there’s a section where they repeat “converge” but I can’t help but hear ‘you’re a virgin’ XD
Then again I don’t like that better than the original lyric per se, it’s just different
When you’re in Morrowind, oh, baby, that’s sick
I need to know the song title for this one
It’s a relatively minor difference, but for decades, I thought the lyric in Smashing Pumpkins’ Muzzle went
🎵 My life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed at once 🎵
and it’s been one of my favorite lines in any song. Except I was wrong. It goes
🎵 My life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed and won 🎵
It’s not a favorite anymore.
Hey now, you’re a rockstar, get the show on, get laid
I refuse to accept that those aren’t the lyrics.
It was but they had to change it for Shrek and the G-rated version became the canonical one.
Looking back on when we fisted
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby, you’re the one, you still turn me on
You can make me whole againWhat the hell do you mean “like a kiss from a rose on the gray!?”
No idea what song it is but what if it’s intentional that it sounds so similar …

Honestly there’s several weird pseudo-deep lyrics in that song so… maybe. He does use graying to describe the tower at the start. I think it’s probably just happenstance and pronunciation tho.
