Apologies in advance if this has been done before--I did a search and didn't find anything.

 

What Coldplay song(s) did you initially misinterpret? I am going to go ahead and admit that for the longest time, before I really became a fan and was just singing along to the radio, I thought the Yellow lyrics were "Your skin... oh yeah your skin unfolds." :\ I thought it was a metaphor! Like caterpillar to butterfly... "turn into something beautiful" like a butterfly! :sigh:

 

Better than my friend, though, who thought Chris Martin was saying "I'm stealing... oh yeah I'm stealing forks." :shocked2:

 

Anyone else willing to admit mishearing lyrics? ;)

:uhoh:

i ebarrassed myself on this forum when i thought the lyrics in fix you were "i promise you i will look for my mistakes" when they are actually "learn from my mistakes."

:embarassed:

there are other ones too. but i cant list them all out. it seems like i have a problem understanding chris a lot of the time

LMFAO!!!!!!! :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

Well, when I 1st heard COL, I thought it was "Gun is inna houses & gun is in my head" :thinking:

Now, even though I know it's "God", I prefer to sing it "Guy"! :P

Before I was a Coldplay fan really.

 

"Shoot an apple off my head" sounded a lot like "shoe that I pulled off my head"

HAHA!!!!! :laugh3::laugh3:

 

@ab: i love that idea! now im going to sing it with Guy instead of god!

I actually think that Chris is much easier to understand than a lot of other singers.

OMG this is a great idea for a thread...

 

Same for me with yellow!!

when Chris sings " ....oh yeah your skin and bones..."I thought he was saying " oh yeah you're skin unfolds"

honestly, I thought he was saying that until like 3 months ago when my sister heard me singing it and told me I was wrong..

I thought it was supposed to be a metaphor too, like a flower unfolding! YAY!! I wasn't the only one :D

 

also for Low, when Chris sings "Cos I feel low, cos I feel low"

I thought it was saying... "cos I feel like, cos I feel like"

 

and holy hell this next one is embarassing... honestly for like months and months I thought that in Death And All His Friends when he sings "all winter we got carried"

I thought he was saying "all winter we had candy.."

 

I'm not joking, I suck when it comes to hearing lyrics.

I first thought that "take a breath, jump over the side" from What If was "take a breath John Pover". Makes no sense :p

haha all winter we had candy.... hey maybe they did.

 

warning sign: "you were an item and I passed you by"

or talk: "let's stalk let's staaaaaaaaaalk

or talk: "let's stalk let's staaaaaaaaaalk

 

That could be the anthem of a lot of people here. :p

HAHA!

 

 

and i just remembered another one for me. in yellow i used to think he sang "for you i bleed myself trying." as in, he tried so hard for her (some girl) that he bled. or he hurt himself. but then i learned it was "dry" not "trying" :lol:

LMFAO!!!!!!! :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

whahahhah YES!! Guy is my house and in My head so true!!! hahah now im gonna think of that when i listen to it and i absolutely LOVE that song!

We i first heard yellow, i though he was saying yellow-blue because of the ooooh he adds on the end. so funny

On my first listen to Yes, when Chris sings "Sin, stay gone" I though he said "sixty-nine" :sneaky: Must be the sexy voice.

 

Any way, I told Mel and Lori about it in Chicago, and we would sing it with sixty nine lyric. :lol:

Hehe, this is fun :D

 

I always said Clocks like: that tune unknown in stead of that you now know :lol:

When I heard Fix You on TV 4 years ago,

"Hears string, gone your place, OH YEAH!!!"

 

:embarassed:

 

Actual lyrics are

"Tears string, down your face, and I...."

 

:P

Welcome to this place :)

 

By your username I assume you like James Morrison ;)

Me too :)

For the longest time I thought the violet hill lyric "my nerves are poles, that unfroze" was "my love's opposed, but unfolds." :embarassed:

there were a few other older ones i remember getting wrong when i was younger, but they slip my mind at the moment. the violet hill one is the only one i can think of right now.

I don't think anyone could understand the Violet Hill lyrics at first! :P

"My nerves are poles that unfroze"? Who would think of that? :rolleyes:

 

I think I messed up the lyrics to a lot of songs, but I can't think of a specific incident...

Originally, I thought that he was saying "If you love me, won't you let me GO," not "Let me know" in Violet hill.

 

And the very first time I heard Clocks, I thought he said "a target's waiting to be framed" instead of "a tiger's wating to be tamed." I was like, what the fuck? o-O

In Glass Of Water is it,"Stars in heaven align" or "Stars in heaven are mine"? I cant make it out.

We i first heard yellow, i though he was saying yellow-blue because of the ooooh he adds on the end. so funny

 

OH MY GOD! :stunned::stunned:

 

I USED TO THINK THAT TOO!!!!! WEIRD! :shocked2:

 

@ineedyou: i think it's "align"
