Silversun Pickups', "The Royal We"
Misheard Lyrics:
And when it's all over and you open your eyes,
It still won't turn on inside.
It still won't turn on inside.
Original Lyrics:
And when it's all over and you open your eyes,
See the room turned on its side.
See the room turned on its side.
Silversun Pickups', "The Royal We"
Misheard Lyrics:
That's when we fell in love but not the first time
Original Lyrics:
That's where we fell in love for the first time
Silversun Pickups', "The Royal We"
Misheard Lyrics:
To feel safe again, look over your shoulder.
Original Lyrics:
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder.
How's this for irony? The lyrics as I misheard them imply that the target of the song would feel safer if he looked over his shoulder while the actual lyrics say that he'll feel safe unless he looks over his shoulder.
