Title: Ever-Deadly Suicide
Post by: Elite on May 06, 2017, 03:19:54 AM
First time in probably three years I've listened to Beyond This Life as I'm spinning the full album for fun. I always used to hear 'ever-deadly suicide', which I thought was a pretty stupid lyric choice, until somebody pointed out that it was 'evidently', which obviously makes far more sense.

Of course, after not hearing this song for so long, the first thing I hear again is 'ever-deadly suicide'. It won't leave me alone :lol

Yep, I've always heard it like that as well. It's just that the world EVI-DENTLY is split so awkwardly in between that it does sound like two words, and in fact they DO sound like ever deadly.  :lol

Okay I seriously thought I was the only person who heard that. I literally never bothered to check it.

Thanks James  :yarr

I knew it was "evidently", but only because I saw a similar post on DTF about two or three years ago. I always hear "ever-deadly" as well, and it always makes me chuckle a little. :)

No you are not. I also thought it had some suicide word in that lyric, "evidently-suicide". Then I read the booklet.  :lol

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that's what they said at first. DT songs have a lot of misheard words.

"The city's cold love teaches us to survive."

See, this is great because the first 10 times I heard this song I thought they were saying "evidently suicide" and my brother corrected me, saying "that would be so stupid, they're saying 'ever deadly'" and I believed him for about a year until I realized I had it right the first way.

One simple question, guys : why don't you have a look at the lyrics in the booklet? Btw, I've always heard "evidently" and I'm not even an English-speaking person in the first place.

The one I've always heard in A Change of Seasons is in Another World

Actual lyric:
A dream that only drowned me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why


What I heard:
I dreamed that a little me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why


I knew it never made sense but never bothered to look it up

I bought scenes the day that it came out, and until I read this thread I didn't know that I also had the lyrics wrong for all of this time. I manage to stumble across lyrics that I had wrong all of the time. Many of them for several years. My guess is that I hear them wrong and they get stuck in my head wrong, and I never bother to look them up until I have a whim.

"Death is the first dancing turtle" - What I actually always sing when they play metropolis.
"Rust fills my eyes, clowns row by and I row with them. A centaur is crying, I'll explain! Am I fat again?" <-- The best misheard line ever.
"F**k this whore! Drink a troll now be with my mind, I'm a radio!" - Voices
"Something Something. GOD it's Sunday do hair" - Innocence Faded

Then came a shadow of the night.


Which turns out to be wrong as well! Damn.

And until just now I never realised he sings 'their love renewed, they'd rendezvous' slightly before that. I had no idea what it was supposed to be, but always heard 'then nothing new, they ran it through' which pretty much doesn't make any sense either. Apparently I suck at hearing what JLB is singing.

This! Ha, you beat me to it.  I always thought it was devil too until I read "doubtful" in the lyrics.

As someone who doesn't pay much attention to lyrics, I always heard "evidently suicide". Maybe it's because I listened to the album a lot with headphones back in the day .

Me too, I always heard evidently. Makes sense in the context of the song.

Agreed.  I guess that phrase could be funny...when you're 15.  Once you're an adult, it's hard to believe that anyone could think that expression is funny.

This all reminds me of the Rush song "Beneath, Between, Behind". There's a part where it sais "cracks appear",  I always thought it said "cracks a beer" lol!  I still like to open a beer right at that part of the song. 🍺
