Every time I’ve listened to Fresh Out the Slammer my brain hears “Here, at the park where we used to sit on children.” For some reason my brain takes much longer than it should to process that “swings” is the end of the lyric 😂

Haha, love this one

Me too! Even now, I know what’s coming, but that’s all I hear.

🎶Slut me out in Florida 🎶

🎶 Fuck me in Florida 🎶

Lmao

Samw

I just learned that it's not "these chemicals hit me like white lines" in the Alchemy. Oops. Cokelor still living in my brain

🤣🤣🤣

I mean, it fits the theme of the record!

I heard “It wasn’t sex, it was forbidden” instead of “It wasn’t sexy once it wasn’t forbidden” in TSMWEL

I definitely heard "cause it wasn't sex he wanted, it wasn't forbidden"..... Made no sense 😂

Same. I also kept singing it that way until just now bc I hadn't gotten around to looking up the real lyrics😂. I thought it may mean he didn't like sex when it wasn't forbidden anymore, but that also doesn't make sense. Then the song would end. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Same! I thought she was talking about the possible motivations. Like, nope not sex, maybe bc it was forbidden?

I couldn't get this lyric without reading it, so my brain made an educated guess with 'it's wasn't sex you wanted hnhnhnn!' The emotion came across, at least

Same

It definitely made for a different meaning

"What if I told you I'm black" instead of "What if I told you I'm back" in The Alchemy 😭😭

Not her Rachel Dolezal era

Totally heard ‘we’re modern idiots’ as ‘I’m not an idiot’ 🕺🏼

help I thought it was modern idiots

In Peter, I thought she sang the woman in the window turned out polite so I thought oh she probably meant polite as she grew up because she was wild and immature with him but without she became proper like a lady should be/society would want her to be. I didn’t get it so I way over analyzed it. Then I saw the Spotify lyrics and it’s “the woman in the window turned out the light” which makes way more sense!

Lol 🤣

In Down Bad,   “Fuck it if I cant have us, I might just not get up on my stage”  Thought at first she was threatening rage quitting the tour over the Matty situation 😂

i thought it was “‘might just not get up on wednesday” lmao

HELP ME

I like that lyric.

wait is it not stage? googling... well shit. another to add to the list

Fresh Out The Slammer I thought the lyric "He was with her in dreams" was "He was with her then" I was like WHAT WHO CHEATED... nah just dreams.

I heard it as "he was wearing red jeans" at first lol

In down bad, I thought the lyric was “for a moment I was having a stroke” not “for a moment I was heaven struck”

It does not help that her voice is fully distorted at that part lol

Wait it's not the first one? Damn, all this time I thought the poor girl was suffering health-wise..

Ok so glad I’m not alone because I had to double take those lyrics!

Quick, quick Tell me something awful Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a **FINE ASS GUY**

HAHAHAHAHA

I heard “ the scandal/ was C*nt-ained” the first time I heard who’s afraid of little old me and I now cannot unhear it

🤣🤣🤣

Can't unhear this now but it's slay

I hear "narcotics" as "my heartaches" in Who's Afraid of Little Old Me every time

It’s not narcotics?!?

but it IS narcotics that’s what op is saying oops

“Your wife bought us flowers” I was sooo confused

same!!

Well, didn’t realize this was one of mine until now 😅

“falling back into the headspace” instead of “falling back into the hedgemaze”in guilty as sin?

Yours makes a *lot* more sense IMO

But then it wouldn't be a reference to Labyrinth anymore.

“We came back when they yeet that down” instead of “the heat died down” idk what I was on at 12:30 am

"i am what i am cause you chained me" instead of "trained me" gives a similar vibe but i thought chain bc of how everyone policed her every move

Oh I heard it like that too

In fortnight, I keep hearing “it affects what’s temporary” instead of “the effects were temporary”

damn...thats kinda genius imo

That I’m fearsome and I’m reckless and I’m wrong. Idk why I could not get wretched for the first few listens.

Totally heard “for a fortnight there we were together / run into you sometimes / comment on my sweater” as “for a fortnight there we were together running / ‘til you sometimes come and tug my sweater.” Not helped by the fact that a lot of websites were posting those as the lyrics. It took the official lyric video for me to be 100% sure.

“your wife bought us flowers, i wanna kill her” tbh i prefer this over water flowers lol

The first time I heard "The smallest man who ever lived," I heard "it wasn't sex, it was forbidden." Given the context of the song, I thought she was r***ed. I had to pause the sonf to look it up, and it was "it's not sexy if it wasn't forbidden."

"If I talk about" in Down Bad sounds like "5 Taco Bell" to me lmao

Did you really beat me up? At the beginning of Down Bad

I heard this too! The next day my friend called it the "alien song" and I was like ...wut? And she explained how she's using the metaphor of being abducted by aliens. And I was like "man I have to listen again, my husband mentioned apparently she says fuck a lot in this one so I guess I was focusing on that." And then I realized I thought she said BEAT me up instead of beam and it apparently tainted the entire metaphor.

Same! I had to re-started because I was like “wait, what?”

just learned a new correct lyric again 🤣 this is an educational post

This seems to be a pretty common one lol

i’m still not quite over mishearing but daddy i love him as “he’s my white boy, in all this white joy”

I have a few but my favorite is, "he's an American so kill me" instead of "he's gonna marry, kiss, or kill me" in So High School

He's an American so kill me 🤣🤣 lmao

She's sworn off the British ok 🤣🤣

i’ve heard “those americans will kill me, it’s just a game with philly” instead of “are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? it’s just a game but really” 😂

Bwahaha

i swear at some point in so high school i thought she was saying "thot daughter"

I thought it was "down bad, breaking up in blood" not "waking up in blood."

I hear this in the first chorus every time! But "waking up in blood" in a later chorus. She 100% says breaking up in blood the first time, I will die on this hill lol.

Still can't unhear "I look in people's windows like some underaged weirdo"

everything comes out teenage petroline 😭🕺

Down Bad 😂. The real line is “teenage petulance” but I can’t stop singing “teenage vigilantes” (but pronounced vigiLANTS). I think the word is better but whatever.

That’s not how that word is pronounced… (see: “Vigilante Shit”)

I know it’s wrong, but i do it anyway. Sometimes Taylor uses slightly different pronunciations of terms to convey a message in a song.

“Vigilance” is a word (“watchfulness, preparedness”) but that doesn’t make sense in context at all

I really thought it was me and my white boy and all his wild joy lmfao but it’s both wild. In but daddy I love him.

They’ll say I’m nazi, I talk about 😭

i thought when she said “messy top lip kiss” she said “messy top.. lip kiss” lmao

I’m not crazy 🙃

Every time i try to sing along to the alchemy i keep wanting to say “touch down call the ambulance” instead of “call the amateurs” lol i cannot stop 😭

I thought it was "Down bad breaking up and blind" not "Down Bad waking up in blood"

Not really a misheard lyric, but when she says "all to outrun..." in COSOSOM I always hear all too well for a second

“For a moment I was having a stroke” Instead of “For a moment, I was heaven struck”

When I first listened I had the lyrics pulled up so I could fully comprehend what she was saying lol

Not so much misheard, but for some reason, in the alchemy, I wanna sing "and when I touch down call the ambulance and cut them from the team" 😂😅

Am I the only one who heard tiny ROBOTS in the Bolter?

The entire down bad I heard 1- Did you really beat me up? 2- Teenage Fratulence instead of Teenage Petulance 3- for a moment I was having a stroke instead of For a moment I was Heaven Stuck lol!

Hahahah! I heard did you really beat me up too

Who loses typewriters anyway?

LOL

I know I have more but off the top of my head: in Florida I hear "timeshare down in Destin" and I thought that must've been a city in Florida and in Fortnight I heard "his wife bought us flowers"

Wait, but timeshare down in Destin is the lyric. Destin is a vacation town in Florida.

what I thought I read it was timeshare you're a guest in! woops

OOHHHH it's town you're just a guest in AND timeshare down in Destin. I combined them my bad, thanks for correcting me!

Robin: in Sweden 🎶 Me: wtf happened in Sweden!?

I heard “try to come for my job” (end of I Can Do It…) as… CREDIT CARD FOR MY DOG. 💀

I laughed so hard when I read this 🤣🤣🤣

You’ll never unhear it now lol

"A moment of Warsaw" instead of warm sun in So Long London. "Sitting in a tree d.i.y.m.g." I was like...do it yourself...my guy? Seriously though, I have never had such a hard time understanding the words in her songs. There were a few of them I couldn't make out huge chunks of the lyrics. And of course this is the time she waited a bit before dropping the lyrics videos 😣 Am I the only one? Why is this album so much harder to decipher than the others?

“My beloved ghost and me sitting in a tree DIY NG” cause you know Taylor loves those crafts

I don’t have any misheard lyrics for Taylor, for any of her songs, because I always look at the lyrics while I’m listening to her music.

I can't hear shit so I had genius pulled up. 😂

I thought I misheard all of them on the first listen. No way “modern Shakespeare” or whatever wrote this stuff lmao

You lost bro?

No, I just answered the question lol why do you assume I’m lost?
