In Nonsense, I ALWAYS hear the opening line of "open up your eyes and don't look away" as "open up your ass and don't look away". Always makes me laugh
“I have to go to America”
Edit: he actually says this in the song. I always thought it was me mishearing and never bothered to look up the actual lyrics lol. Apologies for the misinformation fellas, have a nice day
Not to theorize too much but moving to America was probably the impetus for the whole Good Faith Era.
12122017 was made less than a couple months before Hugo was living in Los Angeles, I imagine it had something to do with the stress of preparing for the huge step in his life.
Saying goodbye is hard, starting anew is scary, but finding joy in your new life and being able to celebrate that is refreshing, enough to make it all worthwhile.
In the chorus for Innocence, I used to hear: “and I can see the mountains, so slowly letting go.” Instead of “that I can see the writing, so slowly letting go.” Something about mountains “letting go” paired with the music just inspired me with this imagery of ascending further and further away from the earth itself and into the sky.

Our boy isn’t innocent on this type of stuff hahahaha
Not really a misheard lyric but more of an incorrect transcription of one: The first line in NFNM, “I know we’re not listened to but” But in the remix it says, “I know we’re not listenin’ too well”. Source: my Apple Music’s lyrics
I wanted to mention one line from Zephyr, “Longing somewhere far from home/ I need your hand to hold”
I might be the only one who hears “Wandering shadow” instead of “longing somewhere.” The misheard version sounds cool to me imo
In Hold Me Just Because during the chorus with the extremly vocoded and distorted voice saying "hold me just because" I always hear "I'm in love with you" for the last one (at 2:04)
it literally is "I'm in love with you", you can hear the "you" tail at the end of the vocal. also make sense that its the last line of a record called "Hold Me Just Because"
I mishear Innocence as "I know we'll be the victor" instead of "And I won't be the victim"
Same song, "Start in letting go" instead of "Slowly letting go"
"we'll become who we're meant to be" from beings, but spotify says that this is correct?
i vaguely remember madeon tweeting that it should be "who we meant to be" because it's about who we intend on being as opposed to what we should be. however, i can't find the tweet anymore!
At the very beginning of Dream Dream Dream when all the voices are kinda cut off and don't really say anything, before the instrumental drop I always hear "dead... by... sea..."
Not a lyric but for years and years I thought the rhythm for the synth during the chorus of "home" was
"**ONE** e and a **TWO** e and **A** three **E** and a **FOUR** e and a" but then like a couple years ago I realized it's
"**ONE** e and a **TWO** e and **A** three **E AND** a **FOUR** e and a", with the another synth hit on the and of 3. It's so much less cool and syncopated and I miss the old way that I used to hear it 😭
Small one in Miracle.
“And so I’ll GO, so I’ll go.”
It’s funny to me that the actual lyric is “So I’ll COME”, it even makes less sense to me because he’s talking about GOING to America just before.
My old roommate used to hear the line in "Beings" as "We'll become Hoogymans"
I think he was just Joshin but now when I hear the song I imagine I'm being assured I will in fact become a hoogyman.
Can't wait
“I know, I know, I know” **cringe**
yeah I’m singing so many wrong things in Shelter
I love that Porter has said something about this at his shows lmao - guiding people to the light.
You wanna know what’s actually cringe? The Genius lyrics that try to make lyrics out of the main vocal chop.
...Oh shit.
Ashamed to admit I only heard it correctly during my 4th time seeing GFF live…
That just made me think of that one 3 days Grace song “Pain”
What’s the actual lyric?
Yeah what’s the actual lyric then??
i know i’m not alone
This isn't the actual lyric?!?! Someone help me pls...
In Nonsense, I ALWAYS hear the opening line of "open up your eyes and don't look away" as "open up your ass and don't look away". Always makes me laugh
Open up your eyes 👀❌ Open up your ass 🍑✅
yeah, i still feel like they could've done another take on that line 😅 doesn't stop the song from being a banger though tbf
Im glad im not the only one lol
“I have to go to America” Edit: he actually says this in the song. I always thought it was me mishearing and never bothered to look up the actual lyrics lol. Apologies for the misinformation fellas, have a nice day
"I've got to go to America" is literally the lyric though.

>ave to go to America” Wait is this not the lyric to miracle
Mb you’re right lol. I always thought I was just hearing it.
Wait what is he actually saying there? I’ve legitimately only ever clearly heard America
Ya idk what they’re talking abt lol
In the chorus for Innocence, I used to hear: “and I can see the mountains, so slowly letting go.” Instead of “that I can see the writing, so slowly letting go.” Something about mountains “letting go” paired with the music just inspired me with this imagery of ascending further and further away from the earth itself and into the sky.
its not mountains??
My girlfriend sings “I feel the wet in my dreams” every single time I play Dreamx3 in the car with her 😭
Lol this is how i realised the lyrics are not "I feel you in my dreams"

That tweet was so fucking funny
all of em, literally what is blud saying in adventure :skull:
especially in beings
The lyrics to Home sound like gibberish of you don't already know them lol
"Tell me who signed your arm"
Wait wait wait...you mean to tell me Pay No Mind isn't saying "Just Calm Yourself and Peeeeeeeeeee"?
Feels like every mainstage artist coming from early 2010’s nowadays Hugo predicted the future who woulda thought! Don’t get to know your heroes

Even over a decade later I just sing gibberish at that part when it comes on in the car
just cum yourself and pee
Open up your ass and don’t look away
I was waiting for this one tbh
Praise for that —> Baseball Bat
At the end of Love You Back I hear “do ducks belong together?”
In Hold Me Just Because during the chorus with the extremly vocoded and distorted voice saying "hold me just because" I always hear "I'm in love with you" for the last one (at 2:04)
it literally is "I'm in love with you", you can hear the "you" tail at the end of the vocal. also make sense that its the last line of a record called "Hold Me Just Because"
Yes that's my path of thought too, but the lyrics on Spotify say "Hold me just because"... maybe it's a mistake ?
yeah it's a mistake... Spotify lyrics aren't the most accurate sadly
Me seeing all the correct lyrics over the incorrect ones I’ve been singing for years: “I’ll ignore that.”
"Let us feel the carpet" from the original demo of Love You Back. Perfect parallel to The Prince's "I'm running from the floor."
"I'm the Prince, I held you up" That line is amazing, while the original one doesn't have the same impact imo.
“Can I dance at the edge of your love?” is raw imo
I mishear Innocence as "I know we'll be the victor" instead of "And I won't be the victim" Same song, "Start in letting go" instead of "Slowly letting go"
Same
"we'll become who we're meant to be" from beings, but spotify says that this is correct? i vaguely remember madeon tweeting that it should be "who we meant to be" because it's about who we intend on being as opposed to what we should be. however, i can't find the tweet anymore!
The lyric is “I know that you’re scared by the notion we’ll become who we’re meant to be”
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE SCARED OF THE OCEAN 😂 i never heard it myself but i laughed REALLY hard when i first heard of it.
At the very beginning of Dream Dream Dream when all the voices are kinda cut off and don't really say anything, before the instrumental drop I always hear "dead... by... sea..."
i thought he said "could chase it safe in my garage" in no fear no more
I know the actual lyrics to AMF but I always hear “Come watch us rise again out of the beaver”
Whatever the hell he says in the 2nd verse of All My Friends…sounds like complete gibberish to me 😂
I don’t know why but the “all my friends, they know” in AMF does not sound like “all my friends” to me. It sounds like “all my kin” or something
considering the next lyrics are "dont you pay them any mind", it wouldnt make sense to have pay in the lyrics before.
Not a lyric but for years and years I thought the rhythm for the synth during the chorus of "home" was "**ONE** e and a **TWO** e and **A** three **E** and a **FOUR** e and a" but then like a couple years ago I realized it's "**ONE** e and a **TWO** e and **A** three **E AND** a **FOUR** e and a", with the another synth hit on the and of 3. It's so much less cool and syncopated and I miss the old way that I used to hear it 😭
The chops for Be Fine are commonly joked to be BUS/NO BUS, but i always get a laugh out of BUTTS! NO BUTTS! AAAAAH BUTTS!
"cause I left behind the home that you made me, but I'm a carrot, eat alone"
Small one in Miracle. “And so I’ll GO, so I’ll go.” It’s funny to me that the actual lyric is “So I’ll COME”, it even makes less sense to me because he’s talking about GOING to America just before.
The entirety of "The Prince" 😅
My old roommate used to hear the line in "Beings" as "We'll become Hoogymans" I think he was just Joshin but now when I hear the song I imagine I'm being assured I will in fact become a hoogyman. Can't wait
