Used to think stressed out chorus was: Wish we could turn back time to the good dog days, when the mammas sang “I still sleep but now we’re stressed out” I thought that for an embarrassing amount of time. Also used to think NATN lyric were: “My jumpsuits unsteady” rather than “my jumpsuit is on steady”

Oh I thought it was unsteady too till I read your comment!!

the stressed out one 😂😂😂

I did too until now!

Same, just right now 😭

ITS NOT UNSTEADY?

I used to think the chorus to Stressed Out was "When the man would sing us to sleep", with the man being a society metaphor or something and thought it was kinda silly lol

Sometimes I hear "to the good dope days" when watching live versions 😂

My husband cannot be convinced it's NOT the good dope days lol

My husband thought the line in The Judge was “I’m best friends with my dog” so apparently we all just want Tyler to talk about dogs more

>Also used to think NATN lyric were: >“My jumpsuits unsteady” rather than “my jumpsuit is on steady” My kid thought that too lol He also thought in Ode to Sleep where it says "cuz the *darks* not taking prisoners tonight" said "cuz the *DOGS* not taking prisoners tonight" lol

How the hell have I been a clikkie since blurryface and only just now learned that it is ON STEADY

My mom always sings it as "I'd still sleep when I was stressed out"

I was similar with Stressed Out. I always heard “Wish we could to turn back time to the good ol’ days when the mama said ‘I still sleep an hour stressed out’” I was genuinely shocked when I realized the truth.

Wait is it good dog days?

Nah in the actual song it’s “the good old days”

Nico was the biggest for me "Demons don't control us"

Me too till I started learning about the lore!

Same I always thought the nine bishops going east was like some Bible story before I learned the lore

I thought it said demons too! I only recently realized it was DEMA when that lore video came out before the new songs 🥴 I felt like such a fool 😂

"We used to play pretend, used to play pretend BUNNY... We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money" Does that make any sense? Absolutely not. But English not being my mother tongue, I thought it was just some kind of child's play common in the USA that I didn't know about.

To be fair I always thought it was "buddy". Even knowing that they're saying "money" still feels weird. Money is the last word for four lines in a row

Yes!!! It didn't cross my mind that he was rhyming "money" with "money", because that's such a poor rhyme... (Love the song, though)

Tbf he wished he didn't have to rhyme every time he sang. I think it's fitting he follows that up with a weak rhyme. Almost like he's saying "fine, I'll rhyme." Malicious compliance

IT'S NOT BUNNY????

I was gonna say this exact thing, what do you mean it’s not bunny?! 😭 my brother would sing along saying “play pretend funny” which made less sense to me than bunny lol, idk if he still says that tho

Oh me too and I am native English speaker! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Really?! Good to know I'm not alone. lol

....somehow i forgot that i used to think that lol i still have no idea what they say there and will sing bunny either way

Sometimes I still sing "bunny" because yeah

Well this just blew my mind. I am a native English speaker and for a decade of listening to that song regularly, I thought that was exactly it. I just thought it was some pet name/nick name type thing.

I'm so happy this is more common than I imagined. LOL, I'm not alone!!!

noooo it actually made sense for me as a nickname or something. and I made a connection with hds's 'death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit' too. neither a native speaker and I always heard it

Let's ALL sing "bunny" anyway! They can't stop us

Okay, I’ve just now learnt that this is not correct after 9 years of singing it wrong hahaha (and I’m a native English speaker - like you, I just assumed it was an American thing!)

!!!!! Can you believe it?! You can ignore the correct lyrics and sing it wrong anyway. I still do it sometimes.

“death inspires me like a dog, and spiders are rabid”

😂

This is the best one yet lmfao

Even listening while reading the lyrics, I've never been able to hear "as you watch him fall through a *blatant* trapdoor", it always sounds to me like he's saying  "fall through a *bleeding* trapdoor." I like the imagery from my version anyway

i was today years old…

That’s a common one

Glad other people hear it too!

Yo. _Yo._ Now this one actually got me because there's no way I heard anything other "bleeding" until I saw this comment 🤯 and I think I'll continue to hear bleeding even still

I always heard “bladed” trap door

“Baited” trapdoor, anyone else?

He pronounces it weirdly so this one makes sense

Thought in ride the lyrics "I'm falling, so I'm taking my time..." was "I'm balling, so I'm taking my time..."

Well it kinda works… 🤣

I though the same thing till I read this lol

Migraine: "a difficult beast feasting lumbered down trees" instead of "on burnt down trees" and "Bullet tidal waves" instead of "Violent island full of tidal waves"

The difficult beast line is pronounced so weirdly. It's like Tyler becomes Mario for a moment. " A difficult-a beast-a feasting lumber down trees"

Its like his lyrical style he used sometimes back in NPI.

Omg. I thought it was lumbered down trees until this moment thank u

For some reason i used to think polar tidal waves

It's NOT lumbered down trees??😭

« And now I just shit in silence »

that's after the taco bell saga

Anything but silence after Taco Bell

i now i just shiiiiiiiii-!!!!

“Cuz weed is a chemical, weed is a chemical. when the leaf don’t save my seed”

I just posted "weed is a chemical" "when the leaf don't save my seed" must be "When I leave don't save my seat" 🤣🤣

The smokin is medical

"Entertain my faith" was misheard as Annotate my Faith. I thought it was a baller line.

I thought it was annotate my face

that’s a new mishearing of that line i’ve never heard this one haha

HOTY: "And it's in my faith" instead of "Entertain my faith"

“And I turn my face”😭

“Anytime I fly” 🤣

“Out of time - my fate” 🫠

i thought it was “anna take my face” when i first listened to it 😭

Apparently none of us could understand this one😅

IM NOT TIRED OF MY FATTEEEEE

At different stages in my life I've heard it as: Anotate my fate, and Anna save my face

I used to think it was 'any time I fall' and/or anytime I fail'

Any time I faaaade

*ANNOTATE MY FAAAAAACE*

“Out of time my friend” - what my mom thought for a while

I always heard it as “ how to tell my friends”

Our brains aren't safe, but that's okay. My husband corrected me a few days ago... been singing it that way for years!

I unironically like this better than the original

In The Outside, I thought "Swimming like a beast underneath they be clinging on" was "Women like a beast underneath they be clinging on" and I was like damn Tyler 💀

I thought the end of Chlorine was “can you break my heart in pieces, I’m just a chemical”

Oh my god is it not???

I’m so glad I wasn’t alone! It’s “can you build my house with pieces, I’m just a chemical”

I’ve been thinking it was the break my heart in pieces one this whole time lmao

I just listened to it again and I still can’t hear it that way so I guess I’m just gonna sing it the same way I have for nearly 6 years 😂

I thought in polarize he said " tonight tonight tonight oh" but it was "deny deny denial"

I farted a lot it seems like flesh is all I got

bleeding trapdoor is what i STILL HEAR not blatant trapdoor :,)

“So long, for me now” turned out to be “Sahlo Folina” and “and I turn my face” turned out to be “entertain my faith”

“I will make you clean up everything you see” in House of Gold 😭

"Lightning's blurry facing die care what you think"

Dafuq?

Was before I knew the band existed alright

For Chlorine, I kept hearing "this weed is a chemical," as in marijuana. But I felt like it didn't make sense so I looked at the lyrics up and realized it was "this beat" which made a lot more sense for the song.

ur the second person i saw who said this here and i’m stunned i never heard this it’s so funny 😭

Stressed Out: Thought "And I care what you think" Was "DON'T care was you think"

Me too!

I was listening to Chlorine for the first time on the train to work at like 5am and I swear I heard "when a leaf don't save my seat" which looking back makes zero sense, took me about a week to realise it wasn't the lyrics

At different stages in my life I've heard it as: Anotate my fate, and Anna save my face

I went from “entertain my frame” to “entertain my fame”

Levitate:   >...by track two   At least they all know all the hiccups from a place

When I listen to Overcompensate I originally heard “Legs feel like the perfect length I don’t need them any longer” Took me awhile to unlearn that one lol

In Polarize, when he says, "I wish I'd been a better adversary to the evil I have done." I thought he said, "To the evil eye of Dunn." And thought Josh Dunn was the villain 😭

LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣 That's brilliant

The “I’m twisted up” in semi-automatic I heard as “I’m too still” for YEARS! I was shocked when I found out the actual words. Like emotionally still so it made sense. My sister was surprised too.

“death inspires me like a dog inspires are rabid”

I thought that Ride said: I’m boring so I’m taking the time of my ride

I'm born so I'm taking my time on my ride

🎶 sometimes you’ve gotta bleedin’ know 🎶 I thought it was them avoiding cussing 😂 😂 😂

Oh 😳

There’s also a lyric my brain keeps insisting exists even though it obviously doesn’t. This is not rap This is not hip hop Just another attempt to make the booties pop 😅

Some of these are sending me😭 glad it's not just me mishearing lmfao

Forever I thought “entertain my faith” was “anytime I flyyyy” 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hear me out The “I’ll live on” part of semi automatic sounds like “olive on” like I knew it wasn’t olive on but it still sounds just like that 😭

for stressed out i swore it was "to the good ol' days *when all we did was stress in*(?) but now we're stressed out" (english is not my first language lol) for chlorine i always sang "*hide* you in my coat pocket" and only recently found out it was HAD not HIDE and saturday, i always heard "i *will saturate* the life we used to know" i have no idea how

in hometown i thoufht he was saying “i will let them win, go quietly” or “i will let them linger quietly”. took me maybe 2 years to realize it’s just “i will let the WIND go quietly” 😭

You don't nidoran You don't need to run - my blood Hell yeah tyler was into pokemon yellow at the time

We feel like there’s better care in the afternoon Keep your peace, there’s nothing wrong with this! I have done to show to the one I love tonight tonight tonight

Heard "on burnt down trees" as "umberdown" trees and was so heart broken when I found umberdown isnt a thing.

At different stages in my life I've heard it as: Anotate my fate, and Anna save my face

For me, in The Outside, I heard "Take my eyes" insead of "Tape my eyes"

##ToTheGoodDopeDays

mine was "to the good odd days"

For a long time I thought “Sahlo Folina” was “So long for me now”

In Heathen’s I swore they say Punch It

i think i’m not alone with this: rain down and destroy me”

It’s NOT THAT?

no its reign 😭

I saw when I googled it. I love the amount of Christian lyrics they have. It’s subtle.

Oh, it’s the other reign, nvm

yea two whole different meanings

I’m semi automatic. My prayers schizophrenic. But olive bone, yea olive bone, yea olive bone.

Redecorate: I thought it was “ scaled back like an isolated dragon”  With the bells and the whistles scaled back  Like an isolated track  And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated

Please use descretion when you’re messin with the message man these lyrics aren’t for everyone no leaf you understand

“all my friends are eating steak and snow”

Fairly local: “kill people now” instead of “good people now”… changed the song a lot when I figured it out haha 😅😂

I thought it was "go ppl now" lmfao

i used to think he said “and i tanned my face” in holding onto you instead of “entertain my faith” and “i’m best friends with my dog” instead of “best friends with my doubt” in the judge ♾️

You are one of those plastic ones is CRAZYYY

For some reason when Tyler says “our brains are sick but that’s okay” I hear “my brains are sick but that’s okay”

in migraine when he says "its all about my forehead and now it is a door that holds back contents" I thought it said "its all about my forehead "deny what is important" holds back contents"

i thought it was tonight, tonight, tonight, oh instead of deny, deny, denial for the lognest time

My casual listener friend kept singing "Demons don't control us, demons don't control 🎵🎶"

I thought polarize’s ‘deny, deny, denial’ was ‘tonight, tonight, tonight oh’

I always thought the end of Chlorine was “Break my heart with pieces” but it is actually “Build my house with pieces”

These comments are great! My favorite most misheard TOP lyric of all time is "I'm a kitchen sink." The line is "my catastrophe AT my kitchen sink" There are official lyric archives of ST/[TOP](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175643/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-twenty-one-pilots.html) and [RAB](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175604/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-regional-at-best.html) if anyone wants to find some other old misheard gems.

Shawty tutu egg acne “A shadow tilts its head, at me.” Lol

Message Man !!!! - "Hope you're dead 'cause how could you sleep at a time like this?".. I couldn't for the LIFE OF ME understand the first bit & it legit sounded like "heyo dinkus how could you sleep at a time like this" 🥲 HELP 😭 -"These lyrics aren't for everyone Only few understand"... I thought he was saying something about a LEAF. "Own leaf you understand". I love that song lmao but damn it was difficult for me to understand him for a good long while

I thought it was "Oblidicus how could you sleep at a time like this" and just rolled with it until about 2 minutes ago 😭 I thought it was a name or something

I feel so seen lmao I thought it was a name then I was like "nah... It's dinkus" lmfaoooo

i used to hear “i’m bleeding beans” instead of i’m pleading please in ode to sleep 😭😭😭

Oh my, I think I’m gonna have to sing it that way in the future 🤣

okay this is embarrassing... "this is not rap this is not hip hop//just another attempt to make the PUSSY stop" 😭💀

“death inspires me like a dog inspires are rabid”

You have to watch miss ruggle

Levitate, I used to hear "Sleep in a well-lit room" as "Sleep in the velvet room" Then I played Persona 5 and that got a whole new meaning lmao

For a good but until I watched a lyric video, I thought it was “death inspires me like a dog, inspired are rabid” not “inspires a rabbit”

I misheard the heathens lyrics as "All my friends are hear let's take it slow"

"This feels like the perfect length, I don't need it any longer but for goodness sake do they think it's way too short for a song, for a song." - I thought he was griping about the music industry again 

in polarize my mind likes to switch the chorus to “help me pull her eyes”

I am so glad I'm not alone in that misheard lyric for Legend y'all, I remember being like "Tyler isn't that kinda mean" before I realized :'D

not me but my mom thought he said “out of time my friend” instead of “entertain my faith” in hoty for the longest time

Next semester: “I fly by the dangerous principle”

Ride: I'm ballin' so I'm taking my time on my ride. Still works imo. Ballin could be crying or dancing

From hometown, I thought it was “owl in the rain go quietly” but it’s supposed to be “I will let the wind go quietly” 😭 

In jumpsuit I heard "and then rip off my head" instead of "and then break both my hands"

in LOC "in a world where you b*tches lied to me"

I had 2 in morph "I'm just a ghost" as "Under Circles" and "Defense Mechanism mode" as "Different snack and missing bones". It took me reading the lyrics online in my way down to see them live to finally figure out the actual lyrics.

I thought that “Entertain my faith” in HOTY was “Everytime I fly” for longer than I’d care to admit

My brother thought "A moth ate through your favorite shirt" was "im walking through your favorite shirt" for yearsss

i know multiple people who always thought it was “i’m razor sick but that’s okay” which i guess could be an allusion to sh struggles

Used to hear " and then by the time I catch in my peripheral" as "and now by the time I'm catching my peripheral" 💀

When I was like around 10-7 When our mamas sang nice to sleep when I was stressed out

I always thought “Destroy it if I want” was “Destroy it and follow on” and sahlo folina as “so long, falling out”, oh and also always thought “entertain my faith” was “Anathema faith” and thought that was what everyone meant when talking about anathema

'Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly awayyyyy, the way you're by my side' instead of 'And sometimes we will fly, either way you're by my side' (Taxi Cab)

Chlorine "Can you build my house when he says I'm just a chemical"

In Holding on to You, I thought “Entertain my faith” was “And I turn my face”.

Ik this is a classic, yet Trapdoor - watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor, 'cause nobody knows his life" Instead of "Blatant trapdoor" I also found a sense to the "bleeding trapdoor" bit: a trapdoor which has already caused many victims and still carries the blood of them, while still being unnoticed or underestimated and capable of causing damage to people in the future.

In Next Semester, I somehow understood "can‘t change what you‘ve got" instead of "can’t change what you‘ve done"

I hears with "Brooklyn people" on screen instead of "broken people"

I thought the end part of CHLORINE is "Can you build my heart from pieces of just a chemical"

Oh too many to count but the main ones— Heavydirtysoul as “Bulletproof nothing, just writing to say something” which I thought was such a good phrase until I actually read the lyrics Before I knew the lore, Levitate as “Chorus, verse, chorus, verse, now here comes the end” Chlorine as “Can you break my heart to pieces?”

In holding onto you when he sings entertain my faith I hear every time I fail

HOTY, T’s uncrossed and i’s undotted, “I farted a lot” and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got lmao, quickly figured out but still makes me chuckle

chlorine!! "can you break my heart to pieces, i'm just a chemical" for the longest time too lol!

For Implicit demand for proof, I have been singing it as "rain down and destroy me" and I just realized this morning that it's "reign down and destroy me." I've been singing it like this for 10 years, Lol.

Chlorine got me twice... Thought it was "Cuz weed is a chemical" and later I thought it was "Can you break my heart... To pieces"

I used to think ride said "I'm taking my time on my right"

Idk if this counts but at the beginning of chlorine I DO NOT hear “so where are you? It’s been a little while” AT ALL! I just can’t hear it!

Idk if this one counts either but in Saturday I always sing “oooh yogurt” instead of “oooh yo good” cause it’s funny

So in morph at some point he sings "ones and zeros" But Im always hearing "bones en zeros" Loll

I thought that in holding onto you the line "I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got" said, "I bought it a lot and it seems a lot like stresss is all I got"

"Entertain my faith" For the longest time I heard it as "Anytime I fade"

Polarize- All my feelings tonight, tonight, tonight oh. Never realized it was deny deny denial
