This is my favorite part of Don't Look Past Me, but honestly, the first few times I heard it, I could not understand what the hell he was singing to save my life. This is what I heard for the longest time:

"I don't need 1000 reasons
when someone starts to cry,
when someone says my heart needs lifting,
then it's called home
it's called hoooome!"

I was about to correct you on those lyrics before remembering what thread this is. :rollin

Hourglass Prison

For the longest time my girlfriend thought the words "Hellish dream" from TDEN were, "Hairless dream".

That isn't the lyrics? I honestly have no idea what he's saying there if that's not it.

From In the Presence of Enemies:
"Fight! Fight in the story until you can't take anymore!"
and
"High churches! Might I see! High churches I am just! Four eyes, beak! Of the beast! That lives in all of us!"

Last night I was listening to a cover of a DT song on YouTube.  I think it was "As I Am," but at any  rate, the singer was Swedish, and I'm pretty sure (despite some 'Dos for Those type pronunciations) that I understood him more clearly than JLB.   ;D

Zyzzyva17

A minor one, but in BMUBMD, I always hear the line "Your iconic fixation" as "You're a chronic fixation."

Evermind

I always hear "You're a corny fixation".

:rollin I used to think it was "for us all depraved", which enunciation-wise is similar.

This could be unique to the boot I'm listening to (2010-7-10, non GDT source with a bit of EQ), but:

Home: "Sorrow, Eternity, potatoes are coming to droooowwwwwwn me"

vbrodrigues95

At the beggining of OTBOA, 0:02, I really don't know if it's an effect or what, but I ALWAYS listen to some shriek ridiculous voice saying "always could be you, oh" repeatedly. I fucking hate that I hear this  :lol . Still love the song though.

Try listening to it again, most people hear "Scooby Dooby Doo!"

:rollin Cannot be unheard. I'm glad JLB didn't get kicked out of the band for that. :hat

Also, I thought it was "forgive our arrogance?"

I still hear "coal" mine. And I still sing that every time on purpose because that would be better lyrics.

For the longest time I thought the "Build! Me! Up!" part after the chorus of BMUBMD was just "Burn! Burn! Burn!"  :\ Idk

God I'm high I'm a steak is gold
