Novah Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImLovingGuyBerryman Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 :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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Better than my friend, though, who thought Chris Martin was saying "I'm stealing... oh yeah I'm stealing forks." :shocked2: 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospekt. Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Before I was a Coldplay fan really. "Shoot an apple off my head" sounded a lot like "shoe that I pulled off my head" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyric Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I actually think that Chris is much easier to understand than a lot of other singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold_love23 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy14 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I first thought that "take a breath, jump over the side" from What If was "take a breath John Pover". Makes no sense :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawlinwithin Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense :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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Escapist Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 We i first heard yellow, i though he was saying yellow-blue because of the ooooh he adds on the end. so funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasluvsjonny Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a telescope lens Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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.

Miss Lestrade Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonsun Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
