Some from TA:

"My brother Gabriel is all the hope we giiiiiiive..."

"I'll plan to return well disguised
Make sure that I'm not recognized
To mow your single eyes"

"Through crowded streets
This quiet hooded stranger makes her... move"

Am I the only one who thought, in TDEN, he said "The ultimate god of a rotting creation" I thought he said "erotic creation."

Nope, but I'm the only one who thought he said "And fight for the vanishing" instead of "And frightfully vanishing"

...wait, that's not the lyric? That's what I thought it was for years. I thought it was weird because I never really associated Gnarly Thot Step with any sort of eroticism or sexuality or anything like that but I just chalked it up to a "Lovecraftism" or something like that. Rotting creation makes slightly more sense, even though "ultimate god of a rotting creation" sounds like it was pulled from Death Metal Mad Libs LyricsTM.

Aside from that, "ever deadly suicide" (instead of "evidently suicide") from Beyond This Life and "with nothing for feel" (instead of "nothing fulfilled") from A Change of Seasons.

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Wouldn't be surprised if this has been mentioned somewhere deep in this thread, and it's really not a case of misheard as it is misinterpreted, but I can't not hear James sing "My sun's not so bright" from ACoS without thinking, "somewhere out there is someone who thinks James is singing 'My SON's not so bright.'"

'I've got a son, I've got a wife...'

'But my sons not so bright!'

Another idea for a DT parody vid I'll never make  ;D

In Beneath the Surface:
"Tired bones beneath a veil, of guarded secrets all too frail"
I always heard it as
"Tired bones beneath the veil, of guarded secrets of two friends"

Which always prompted me to think the song was about Mike Portnoy.

My personal best for hearing something completely wrong was the first time I heard "Forsaken". 

I got Systematic Chaos from Best Buy, got home, threw the disc straight into the player without reading the booklet or anything and let it go as I was cleaning the room I was in.

The first time I heard the chorus I thought they were saying "For Satan!".  I was like WTF, am I hearing that right??  Then I opened up the booklet.

Oh right, it's "Forsaken".....hah.

Got one from Once in a Livetime, from Just Let Me Breathe. Maybe this has been mentioned, but right when the song starts, JLB says something to pump up the crowd, but whenever I hear it, all I hear is:

"All right, Aunt Patty, let me see the hands in the air. Let's start having a good time here tonight."

"What kind of monster would counter feast when the devil shoves his face?" -BTV
So fking tired of being an oversensitive naive moronic fkin bitch. I CANT STOP IT. I CANT CHANGE. IM STUCK. This world eats me alive. My purpose is simply to be what others shouldn't be. A shriveled fking beacon of sad energy. I have lost. I am lost.
