"I'm made up of the memories of my parents and my grandparents, all my ancestors. They're in the way I look, in the colour of my hair. And I'm made up of everyone I've ever met who's changed the way I think"
Sonata Arctica has always been one of the biggest offenders for me. In "The Last of this Chapter" whose lyrics are about a creepy stalker who slowly gets closer and closer to his ex, I had always heard the line:

You had killed a man,
It looks good on you

(You have new love, and
It looks good on you)

And in "Broken" also by them, I had to look up the lyrics. Turns out the real line wasn't half as violent as I thought, but I cannot for the love of me hear the "right" line :confused:

Do you really know me? I want to kill a cat

(Do you really know me? I might be a God)

Six-Of-Hearts posted:

I realized today I've been mishearing about half of Skid Row's "Slave to the Grind" album for the past couple decades.

Also seconding this. Although not from that album, the first time I heard "Big guns" I missed a line and became convinced that the song was about a pre-op trans girl:

She got the big guns
(garbled)
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad

(The missing line is "pointed at my heart")

The whole song talks about veterans and fallen soldiers. It's actually very serious in tone, it's just that line doesn't seem to sound remotely close to what it should.
