from the song Aenima:

Get this. I used to think he was saying "You weep and change in chosen intervals."

It's cool line if you think about it.

I think I know where you're hearing this, so that's fucking hysterical.

I used to think, "Prying open my third eye" was: "Crying over my third eye".
When I discovered I was wrong I got upset and felt like crying... Just kidding, but I really did get the lyrics messed up like that...

Lateralus:

Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

i thought it was:

"withering my empty wish, i'm basing never to have reason i must, feed my will to fuel the moment darling, way outside the lines" doesn't make much sense but that's what i heard before i read the lyrics...

and also in the song Jimmy at the 4:07+ part I thought he said "i'll move to heal as soon as maynard laughs so we can breathe, unite, and both move on together" i forget what he actually says, but it really sounds like "maynard."

and on the new one:

vicarious: "in a brave new world, we'll write as the story's told" / "neither the brave nor bold" or something like that.

the pot: "foot in mouth and head up asshole" (ass, so)

and the whole "fight" part in Right in Two, i made a post over what i thought i heard "Funny how they die over herd over sky they fight" etc.

Ghostwriter

I thought "Saturn ascends" was "Saturn of sins" (The Grudge)

orangeisgoood

ok, when i listened to the pot i seriously thought he was saying
"and you pissed all over my black head, oh" i still hear it like that most of the time...but i know its kettle...

orangeisgoood

LOL they should make another version of vicarious that sounds exactly like the first one, expect call it bicurious and change the words so it was really about bicuriousity. like they did with all of thoes stupid versions of crank that soulja boy...but this one would be hilarious.

Mari Jaine

Some of these posts are pretty funny.

I've misheard some of the same things listed here. I'll have to try and remember some others.

*~*»¤«(Đispositioñ)»¤«*~*

From Stinkfist: "It's not enough, just lay down, nothing stops the senate's fight."

(From the whole "nothing seems to satisfy part")

Mari Jaine

From Jambi, "My ass will be gone" (instead of "I might as well be gone").

TaraChandler

"Could use a beer down here..." = Strange lyrics that made no sense to me what so ever...

"Don't want to be down here..." = Actual lyrics-Reflection

From Prison Sex:

"... so young and desperate" (instead of vestal).

Schema

I still hear it. Though, actually, it's (to my ears);
you still love me, you still love me
shit in me, shit on me

Which, I think... might be closer to its theme.

My favorite is my mother's mishearing of Ænema:

any bucket time, any bucket day

Oh, the problems of trying to explain shit to your parents...

Mari Jaine

So, did you enlighten her with the actual lyrics?

Schema

I did. It did take a few minutes to explain the Bill Hicks links, but I got there.

Yeah, first time I heard pushit I thought he was saying "you shit on me" too

TheDude420

i thought "Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay" was "learn to swim, ill see you down in Paris on a bay". Never made sense to me...

LOL, this thread is fucking hilarious.

irelandish

It is fuuny how peoples minds take in lyrics, lol, but for pushit i thought it was put shit on me, lol, but cant really remember if i have misheard any other tool songs, but i do miss hear some tenacious d,

Some of the misheard stuff is brilliant ae, definitly puts a grin on tool fans faces, lol

Schema

"Neither brave nor bold
Why has the story sold"? Sound close to what you heard?

Heh. That actually could make sense.

My best mis-hearings in The Pot:

"I'm balls deep in muddy water" <- Eyeballs deep in muddy water
"Your balls deep in muddy water" <- Same line at end of song
"Shot without a reason" <- Shed without reason

LOL at "frying open my third eye." Just as funny as "Brian opened my third eye."

Read this MTV. THIS is the way to handle explicit lyrics in the videoclips.

"Learn to swim. See you now, hair is sorta gray."

Yeah... Thought that for about a year.

Oh yeah. "Like an aborigine, had me cryin' out." (instead "Like an apparition" in Rosetta Stoned)

Divine_left

Not Tool, but:
"What have I become, my Swedish friend
Everyone I know goes away Indian"

I've had that kicking around in my head for about a year now... still makes me laugh when I hear the song.

feel like an ass but... from The Patient, I heard "Must get rid of my name, my selfishness" instead of "I must keep reminding myself of this".

I still fuck it up on occasion lol.

I remember thinking at one point that "Vicarious" was some sort of God of death or something.

I couldn't really hear the words right, and so, when I heard it on the radio for the first time, it was like, "Valkyrius (at least, what I thought it said), I'll live while the whole world dies."

Boy, was I wrong. :)

○dissonance○

That would be even worse. I'm pretty sure it was "Face your god", but I could be wrong.

girldk

In jambi: breathe in union
I heard it like: bleed in you

hmm... :)

I'd always figured "Kangaroo be stoned, he's guilty as the government" was actually "If he _______s, he's stoned, he's guilty. That's the government."

I had always thought he said "Shit on me" in Pushit, until reading this thread.

Cutting my dog right in two.

Heh, I heard this last night while stoned and I wasn't paying attention to the song. Kinda funny.

fivenichols

In Eulogy, I still hear and sing sometimes:

"Jesus said you must die. You must be crucified..."

Instead of, "To ascend you must die..."
