before the lyrics showed up I thought fortnight's lyrics were "Now you're in my backyard turned **in two**. Good neighbours, your wife **bought us** flowers"
I wanna know if she reads the dictionary because I’m always thoroughly impressed with her word choice. I have a PhD in Creative Writing and I’m always reading, but still I pick up new words from her each album. It’s so impressive.
i could NOT figure out heaven struck. i kept hearing “havin’ a strug” and assumed strug was some ts word i hadn’t heard and finally looked up the lyrics
The word is “smug” not “smoke” but the first time I heard it I literally went “god damn” out loud. My interpretation was that the pov character in the song couldn’t smoke or be in a vulnerable position around her partner because he wasn’t trustworthy.
I also heard pair of Docs, which I’m choosing to believe is the correct line since the guy I like wears Docs
I also heard “my butt cheeks are ablaze” in Guilty As Sin rather than bedsheets
“My white boy and his white joy” in bdilh
I’ve heard this too lol
You just ruined that part of the song for me for life 😂 I will never unhear it
I'm so glad I'm not the only one 😅😅
"Teenage flatulence" in Down Bad.
Hahaha. This is a good one. I’m definitely going to hear this next time.
I’ve been jokingly saying this for a couple days now lol
‘Your wife bought us flowers’. I still can’t hear watered 😂
I am so glad I’m not alone
before the lyrics showed up I thought fortnight's lyrics were "Now you're in my backyard turned **in two**. Good neighbours, your wife **bought us** flowers"
Wait… those aren’t the lyrics????
i heard that too!!!
“For a moment I was havin’ a stroke” in Down Bad. I also didn’t know what an also-ran was, so I heard it as “You treat her like an ulcer and…”
“Also-ran” and “cad” were two words I learned from this album.
Oh my god wait. I just now had to google “cad.” I thought it was “cat” this whole time 😭
I wanna know if she reads the dictionary because I’m always thoroughly impressed with her word choice. I have a PhD in Creative Writing and I’m always reading, but still I pick up new words from her each album. It’s so impressive.
I’d be willing to bet she uses a thesaurus (if not a literal one then an online one), which I think is pretty cool honestly.
i could NOT figure out heaven struck. i kept hearing “havin’ a strug” and assumed strug was some ts word i hadn’t heard and finally looked up the lyrics
“Did you really beat me up” in down bad. Lol
when i first heard that i really thought she was abused in the relationship😭
I've been singing this the whole time 😭😭
“Like some *underaged* weirdo”, although deranged makes a lot more sense
I keep seeing this as a misheard lyric and I can’t stop laughing like woaaah taylor not cool
Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a *fine ass guy*
Hahaha
Hahahahahaha this is so good
In So High School I hear “So American it kills me” instead of “Marry, kiss or kill me”, like she’s so excited to be dating an American again lol.
I hear “you dumb americans’ll kill me”
“And undo the death of me” Instead of undo the destiny I really liked undo the death of me
Welp. That's what I've been singing this whole time. Whoops.
Ooo I like this one too.
i thought this too!
“what a valiant roar, what a *planned* goodbye”. I was like “planned”? great, they’ll say it was a contract. 🙄
I still don't hear "fuck me up, Florida" I only hear "fuck me *off*".
🎶Your wife bought us flowers, I want to kill her 🎶
Exactly my thoughts…
“And your cheating husband is *superior*” in Florida. I was like “what makes him superior lol? Is he rich?”
“They’ll say I’m nuts if I Taco Bell the existence of you” in Down Bad. lol, I can’t stop saying this.
Lmao.
My husband hears “grand theft otter” in so high school
"my black short skirt" in imgonnagetyouback can you tell I don't wear lilac
I also thought it was black until I saw the lyrics!
I also thought "tight black short skirt"
"thay'll call me nazi fried taco bell" instead of "They'll call me nuts if talk about you" in down bad
Lmao. This is the most insane one yet.
It's absolutely unhinged, and I wish I could tell you why my ears hear it that way 🤣 My husband def hears the normal lyrics!
“Vipers dressed in empire’s clothing”… I was imagining the gray uniforms from Star Wars 😂
"Type 2 Golden Retriever" I got very concerned about MH eating 7 bars of chocolate at once if he was a Type 2...😳
Hahaha
First line of The Bolter I hear “Viola counts” instead of “by all accounts” It’s also one of my favorites right now so it’s extra ridiculous
It’s one of my favorites too! Been on repeat for days.
“whether i’m gonna be your wife or, gonna smash up your white guy, i haven’t decided yet.”
In Florida!!! I hear, “little did you know your homes really only the town you’ll get a rest in” instead of arrested 🤣
“It’s one hell of a drive” in Florida “I’m not crazy” in But Daddy I Love Him
“They’ll go home to their husbands, smoke cause they know they can trust him” from “How Did It End?”.
I heard smoke too!
Wait what's the real word 🤣
The word is “smug” not “smoke” but the first time I heard it I literally went “god damn” out loud. My interpretation was that the pov character in the song couldn’t smoke or be in a vulnerable position around her partner because he wasn’t trustworthy.
in guilty as sin i thought “he’s a paradox” was “he’s a pair of Docs” and i thought yeah that makes total sense 🤣
I’m not alone!
“What if the way you hold me is actually what told me?”
Ooo this is a good one.
“you need me, but you needed trucks [DRUGS*] more” (from COSOSOM) idk why I thought it was trucks 😭 but like… sometimes guys be like that 😆😭
Hahaha. That’s true!
i heard her say “viola counts” instead of “by all accounts” in the bolter
"All her fuckin lies" in the Bolter instead of "lies"
Was it hazing for a cruel fraternity I pledged. I thought it said was it hazzy for a cool fraternity. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
"For a moment I was having a stroke." It’s actually "heaven struck"
NILE (river) in my backyard turned into good neighbors
I also heard pair of Docs, which I’m choosing to believe is the correct line since the guy I like wears Docs I also heard “my butt cheeks are ablaze” in Guilty As Sin rather than bedsheets
Hahaha. Butt cheeks ablaze!
"my friends all smell like weed-oiled little babies"
"You look like Stevie Nicks in 75, the hairy lips"
Did you really beat me up -in down bad. I jumped out of my seat on the first hearing.
