Sean Thibaudeau
don't forget the infamous:

"She's fixed everything, now I'm spoiled beyond my wildest dreams" (from Blind Faith)

Listen for yourself if you don't believe me.

Colin Berry
I've got a grosse one...

"Giz on the ceiling"
"Judas on the ceiling" (from "Voices";)

When heard, you'll think James is singing about semen that has hit the ceiling.

amit
glad to know i'm not the only stupid one.
i also got one:

"let's watch for UFO's"
"when it's right for you, they'll fall" (another day)

oops :)

Cody
Glass Prison

"I've got to fart"
"I've gone too far"

haha

Atropine
it is not really i misheard but when i first heard

"Help, he's my brother but I love her" (Home)

I thought it was like he fell in love with a woman and found out that she was his brother dressed up as a woman
:|

Andrew Brosonski
"you ask me why my hair's green"
"you ask me why my hair's gray" ('burning my soul')

i thought this for a long time until i finally read his lips on OIALT video when he actually touches his hair and says 'gray' not 'green'

Daniele Nicolucci
In "Another Hand - The Killing Hand" (from Live at the Marquee), James yells (or at least he seems to yell :)) "blow-job" at 4:32 and 9:31.

anonymousnick
On TGP, "Offer the madman your seat" is actually a better lyric for the song than "Open your eyes and you'll see" considering the song's dealings with alcoholism and feeling trapped, scared, and even insane. Thought it was worth mentioning.

Suchinenu
"Drifting with a parrot"
"Drifting with the current" (from LSOAD)

Mullet Boy
"Like ice-cream but sort of silent"

"Like a scream but sort of silent"

There used to be a website devoted to misheard lyrics...the Metallica ones were fantastic

Mr. Lemonade
From "Raise the Knife":
"Raise the knife, cut through"

"Raise the knife, **** you"

Derek Yew
"To the devil I demand!"
"To the doubtful I demand!"

When I first heard it, I thought they were going satanic.

TOT - As I Am

ailaG
well, not a misheard lyric, but i tend to sing "paul meando, paul meando, paul meando - i'm not afraid.."

(pmu, for the slow ones :) )

When I first head Fatal Tragedy I though James sang:

"I shat the door and travelled to another home".

ghost80
Uh I remember a time,my friend virgin mine...
Uh I remeber a time,my frail viirgin mind (Change Of Seasons)
The first time I heard this,then I read the real lyrics....bye from Rome!!

k Lo
Paul di Anno! Paul di Anno! Paul di Anno, Janick Gers! lol

In This Dying Soul, I've had to check the booklet, 'cause I heard this:

"A living reflection
Superman's away"

Tulips on my ceiling, the devil in my bath...
(Judas on my ceiling, the devil in my bed)

Voices...

LOL...this is just great....

SiLenT_MaN (MakiMa)
For a long time i sang:<br><b> Live your life surrounded</b> for <b>Let the light surround you</b><br> I still do it.... hehehe

Jugulator
Hehe... Even now, although I've read the lyrics, it seems to me that in "TDS" James sings:

To stare the problem right between the eggs
instead of
To stare the problem right between the eyes

Because these "eyes" really sound like eggs...

Me
On "Endless Sacrifice" the first time i heard it i thought it said
"Over the deer stand we try to mess things up" instead of
"Over the distance we try to make sense of"

vitamins999
In Under A Glass Moon, at around 6:28, it sounds like James sings:

"Baking your sole* in silver tins."

*Sole as in the fish, not Soul as in the human spirit.

LesPaul1059
From Endless Sacrifice

"Moments wasted, I salute it/saluted"
"Moments wasted, Isolated"

The Spartan
what i thought i heard
"I smile at the clowns
Stealing beauty from my eyes"

what it really is:
"I smile at the clouds
stealing beauty from my eyes"

from "Under a Glass Moon"

Lopez DTFAN
from Surrounded
"With angels we can rip the kiss"
"When angels waken with a kiss"

Luke Smith
"A Sadness grows in sodomy"
"A Sadness grows inside of me" Through Her Eyes (SFAM)

I always new the real lyric, but it just always sounded like "A Sadness grows in sodomy".

BlobVanDam
From About To Crash (Reprise)

At the 0:52 mark it sounds like.

"the duck is far behind me"
"the darkness far behind me"

Za9U!
"without faith, without hope, there can be no piece of pie"
"without faith, without hope, there can be no piece of mind"

Fatal Tragedy


"i must explore the palm trees"
"i must explore the boundaries"

A Change Of Seasons


"Resist the net to pull the men"
"Resist the need to pull them in"

Another Day


saludos desde Chile!!

Ruben
From octavarium:

When he says:

Jack the Ripper
Owens Wilson
Philips and my supper's ready

I thought he said:

Jack the Ripper
Owens Wilson
Feel upset my supper's ready

Brentyn Stafford
Solitary Shell -

"Madman on occasion"
"Madman on a cajun"

Mr. Chimney
Yea, I have one too.

In 'Just Let Me Breathe' when the lyrics go "Make yourself a household name", I have always heard it "Make yourself an asshole name"

:D

probably someone
Ok, I\'m not sure if anyone commented on this song yet, but...

To Live Forever

\"The starvation has turned me outside in...\"

\"Masturbation has turned me outside in...\"



=p

LeftHandShred
Fatal Tragedy:

Real: I tried to get more answers, but he said "you're on your own."

Heard: I tried to get my breakfast, but instead I got a roll.

Innocence Faded:

Real: Wearing apathetic displays, sharing flesh like envy in cages, condescending, not intending to end.

Heard: Well I know I'm not quite insane, sharing flesh like envious mages, contraceptives, *inaudible noise*

Dark Dragoon
"Way off in the distance I saw a dog"
"Way off in the distance I saw a door"(The Glass Prison)

"That's alright I'm not gay"
"That's alright I'm okay"(You Not Me)

\"God I\'m high! I\'m a steak!\"

rock_ya
Here\'s an other one:
\"Help me, falling, I\' m losing all my insticts\"
sounds like:
\"Help me, falling, I\' m losing all my lipsticks\" : D

seb.b
from the mirror:

heard: "lets spread the pablum right on my eye, its tasty like coastal toast"

real: "lets stare the problem right in the eye, its plagued me from coast to coast"

pablum being a brand of baby food

Dracko
i actually heard until they play whit yes on LEARNING TO LIVE

Once you're touched you stand alone
to face the Pedophile

when it actually goes

Once you're touched you stand alone
to face the bitter fight

f12x28
In dreamtheater.net/bb someone misheard a lyrics and I thought it was hilarious:

"I can't eat strange asian food, but I don't mind"
"Uncanny strange deja vu, but I don't mind"

Saera
I always thought it was supposed to be
"I sit down with my sunset to see the crimson sunset"

instead of
"I sit down with my son, set to see the crimson sunset".

But I suppose the latter makes more sense. :P

Alex
'A cradle of guts still flowing'
'No praisal of blood still flowing'
(The Killing Hand - When Day & Dream Unite)

I never realized what the real lyrics were and always sang them this way. Quite strange how I got to 'a cradle of guts' instead of 'no praisal of blood'...

Aeternus
Away from Myung soul...
Away from my own soul... (from "Afterlife";)

Lollertron
I've got one which hasn't been mentioned yet, from Innocence Faded..

It should be:

"Innocence faded, the mirror falls behind you"
Though it sounds more like,
"Innocence faded, the menopause behind you"

Anybody else noticed that one?

Heard - And still i put shoes on, with or without you

"If you've lost your weight, I will take you in" rather than "If you've lost your way, I will take you in". :3

Constant Motion:

"Forevermore! Into the night! Listerine!"
"Forevermore! Into the night! Blistering!"

These aren't mine, but I don't know why they're not on here:
"Something something, God its Sunday do Hair"
"Condescending, not intending to end"
-Innocence Faded

"Try to push me around
The Walton Mow
Smack me, live in fear
Haargaha tifah
I made a mole
Tranquilse a craer
'Cause even when I danced with lice
No one was there but Cher"

"Try to push me around
The world some more
Make me live in fear
I bare all that I am
made of now
Attractive? I don't care.
'Cause even when I danced with life
No one was there to share."
