Issssidora Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm sure we all misunderstood a least a few lines of some Coldplay songs, even if English is your native language :laugh4: So I think it would be fun for us to write down a line of lyrics we heard, and a line of what is actually said :wink: For example, I heard: "And even if your aims are shadows, still we're never gonna part" and it's actually "Even in your rains and shadows, still we're never gonna part " 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon_Mx Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Nice idea for a thread ! I get what you are saying but I don't see a difference between the two lines. I think you made a mistake :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42Escapist Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I used to mishear this line: "I don't want to be a soldier Who the captain of some sinking ship Would stow, far below" I thought it was this: "I don't want to be a soldier Or the captain of some sinking ship Would go, far below" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon_Mx Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I always thought it was: ''How can people struggle, how can people part how can people struggle, how can people break your heart?'' But it has to be; ''How come people suffer, how come people part how come people struggle, how come people break your heart?'' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nie Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Before I looked up the lyrics, in "Us against the world" I used to sing My uncle has a Daniel in a lion's den Instead of My drunken hazard daniel in a lion's den. I still find that sentence so weird. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplayisawesome Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 oh, i remembered another one! in I Ran Away: I'm gonna come on out And burn the sky and i didn't necessarily think this was the actual line, but i couldn't make out what he did say so my brain replaced "burn the sky" with "murder style" which i seemed to think was hilarious because of Chris's lack of fashion sense (as if i don't dress basically the same way he does :rolleyes:) :P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplayisawesome Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 i think it's a grammar issue, like maybe My drunken hazard: Daniel in a lion's den even though it doesn't 100% make sense to me still :P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flockofbirds222 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I always used to understand "shouldn't I pull off my head" instead of "shoot an apple off my head" in Clocks. Oh and in Birds until a few weeks I ago I thought it was "STOP falling in love, STOP the riot" instead of START[emoji23] Fits coldplay's message a lot better this way though.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy42 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Oh wow, I wanted to start a thread like this before, but never got to actually doing it :) I used to mishear the line "sitting with the poison takes away the pain" as "sitting with boys, it takes away the pain". 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
