"I can't see hin but he's stalking my thoughts"...

I thought this was "I can't see him cause he's stalking my fuck pile"

I know it makes no sense but thats what I heard hahaha

I have a good one from Radiohead's LET DOWN.

I heard "Fuck your ass and fuck you"

even though it is "floors collapsing, floating"


Maybe I was thinking about something a little more naughty.....(hangs head in shame)

That's what a lot of people think, but if you listen close, it's definately "Below Me". The other possibility of which you spoke is "You're lonely", but there's definately a "b" sound, and "below me" makes more sense (although that sometimes doesn't apply with OLP lyrics :P )

I don't think "below me" makes any sense.

"Everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light below me
You're not the only one to feel this way"

"Everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely . . . you're not the only one to feel this way"

The first three lines are about a person who is lonely. I think the last line says, basically, I'm lonely too.

I hear the B a tad as well but I always thought of it as him saying "But you're lonely" just really quickly

Well she does have a song with Bologna in it.
I eat it up like bologna(CO-Dependent of Under These Rocks and Stones)

I guess we will just have to ask him. I know what we will make a list and i will give it to him. I will say to him, it is bothering us racking our brains out to figure out what you are saying . He will probably say something like * I can't recall*(what he said when I asked him about waited, but got the lyric anyway) Or what do you think I am saying. :love:

For those of you were wondering what Raine is singing on the album for BBTS, I heard an interview with him and he said that at that point the lyrics were not actually finished, so he just mumbled through them to get the song done for the album.

When I first heard 'Life' I thought he was saying 'It's almost time but we're alive' instead of 'It's all messed up but we're alive' and at the end of it I thought he was saying 'It's almost over, we'll, oh we'll, survive' instead of 'It's all messed up but we'll, oh we'll, survive'. I sang it like that for the longest time until I looked at the lyrics and was like, 'Hehe, oops!!' :mrgreen: :oops: . I still sing it wrong because I'm used to it, but I'm trying to stop and sing it right.


EDIT: I forgot to say before that when I first heard 'The Birdman' I thought that when Raine was saying 'The Birdman wouldn't lie' he was saying 'The Birdman wanted light', and when I first heard 'Made Of Steel' I thought that when he was saying 'You wanted a hero tonight' he said 'You're the one that I care 'bout tonight' :lol: :mrgreen: I feel silly. :D
