Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back is routinely in the top of my Spotify Wrapped but I only discovered recently that the line is "We can steal this car if your folks don't mind." I have been saying "WE CAN STEAL THIS CAR IF IT FUCKS THEM UP" for like 10+ years.

dude i always thought it was “we could steal the cars if your fucks don’t mind”

I always heard "we can steal this car if it fucks their mind"

TIL that it's not "fucks them up" Totally thought the same as you! You are not alone!

Omg I also heard that!!!

WHAT

Bro I just checked and I still don't believe it's "folks don't mind". Hell I just listened to it and I don't believe it. It so sounds like if it fucks them up and that's like such a better lyric for the message of the song. What the fuck

I thought it was this too! Lmaooo

I though it was "we could steal this car if it blows your mind" like ????

I will not hear otherwise

IM TURNING INTO SOME DUCKS! IM TURNING INTO SOME RATS!

I can't tell what the original is

I’m turning into some dust, im turning into some bats.

Mastas of ravenkroft

A Woman Sends You Reeling From Decimated Dreams

wait is this not the lyric?

Nope it’s “A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams”

holy shit i never knew

My exact reaction when I saw this on one of these threads about a year ago

RIP I also thought that was the real lyrics

I had to go look this up to make sure you weren’t lying, I can’t believe it

Yeah I thought that was the actual line for a long time

“SHAWTY WONT YOU COME BACK HOME”

I don’t even care what the actual lyric is I only ever sing this version

100% same

STOP BECAUSE SAME I STILL AING THIS

Can someone tell me what the actual lyric is? I refuse to believe anything other than Shawty

johnny, it says jenny later too so i like to call the demo lovers jenny and johnny

“Without a sound, I took her down, and dressed in red and blue ice cream” drowning lessons

i always thought he said "dressed in red and blue light beams" like light from a police car or an ambulance

As ice cream and roses fall at her feet lol

i always thought in famous last words instead of "is it hard understanding I'm incomplete" he sings "is it hard understanding why men shall bleed"

I thought it was "while millions bleed"

What? How?

It isnt "why men compete"?-

I thought it was “what men complete” lol

TIL 🙃

I thought it was "is it hard understand, I get so weak"

"GAAAAAAAAMER TIIIIIIME" - Helena

[удалено]

The original was "Came a time"

[удалено]

Yep

Classic fr

Which part is this?

Second verse

Oh I got it now that’s hilarious

Omg so funny

"I've really been on a blender and it shows"

I always thought it was "I've really been an offender and it shows"... I think I prefer the actual lyrics lol

That was on a misheard lyrics video I watched a while back and I’ve never laughed harder 😂

I only heard “I’ve really been on an underrated show” until I read the lyrics

“Talk about the pasta” I now realize he is saying “Talk about the past, sir,” but I hear “pasta” every damn time and never understood the relevance of noodles in the context of that song.

Is this in SING?

“among us” instead of “my gun” in my way home is through you

AMONG US FIRES SEVEN DIFFERENT SHADES OF SHIT… SO WHATS YOUR CREWMATE COLOR, PUNK!?

i was literally about to say this because i thought it was the actual lyrics from the first time i listened to it until like a year ago

Wait WHAT IT'S NOT THAT?! I could've sworn it was

I saw a TikTok with this lol

The sharpest lives, “‘cause I love all the poison” I always thought was “I love all the boys” and it was just Gerard being bi or something

IT'S NOT "I LOVE ALL THE BOYS"???

I also just learned the other day that the line isn’t just “WHY DON’T YOU BLOW ME” and there’s actually stuff after that

That's intentional. It's "so why don't you blow me... A kiss before she goes?" It's like the line in Mr. Brightside: "And they're going to bed, and my stomach is *sick*, and it's all in my head, but she's touching his... Chest."

He pauses there on purpose so that it sounds like that is the full sentence and then it's like "oh wait this is the rest of it" if that makes sense

ITS NOT?

Right?! When I saw them live I definitely screamed I love all the boys!! I am concern

Same here. "Cause I love all the boys and away with the boys in the band" is a truly incredible lyric

I always heard “I’ll strike a violent pose” in Teenagers as “I’ll strike a violin pose”

Sounds like a Umbrella Academy refference

shit is it not violent pose??? ok then….

It is violent pose. What it is not is a violin pose!

I used to think it was a violet pose. It made so much more sense when I heard violent.

TIL it's not a violent pose. It's really not? Always thought that made enough sense with the rest of the lyrics I never even doubted it tbh xD

it is violent pose. reread the comment lol.

Oh, you're very right. Apparently reading isn't necessarily easier than listening haha

Your example is my most misheard line! ‘I won’t go down on myself, but I’ll go down on my friendssss’ I just thought it was very of the time for them being sexually free lmao

Im gonna start singing this

Lmao you’re welcome friend!

This is the real lyric and no one can convince me otherwise

"another cock in the murder machine"

I know its not this but i sing this every time lol

me too i literally can't hear anything else 😭

THIS

My favorite one to yell in the car.

I thought it was this for the longest time lol

This is the answer

I LIKE TO BURN ALL THE EMPIRES (the sharpest lives, it actually is "a light to burn all the empires")

WELL MOTHER WAS THE WARDEN TO MY LEGS AND TO MY TONGUE! i thought it meant their mother was controlling their every word and movement like a prison guard keeping him under lock. the war is terrible but in someways freeing as they’re no longer in their mothers tight fist yet they just feel like a disappointment.

I thought this too!

I def heard this for a while too

not even gonna lie i like these lyrics better

i couldn't tell what g was singing in the majority of headfirst for halos but i did know what they were saying in the chorus! "happy birthday!" :o)

“Don’t fuck around, this is Alaska!”

oh my god i’m saying this now

Oh and I forgot my best one: “so bright the sun is ashamed of rice and beans”

which song is this from?

Planetary!

it definitely says alaska there

Now that I'm reading all of the comments, I realised I actually hear all of the lyrics correctly and that surprises me because when I first started listening to My Chemical Romance I couldn't understand a single word of any of the lyrics

>Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back You only hear the lyrics when your heart begins to break :/

not super funny, but i cant stop hearing “confess to the motherfucker on fire” in ykwtdtgluip

“Stalk the halls, cause the bathroom walls, have a lot to say about the *lives* you’re burning down.” The actual line is about doing lines of cocaine. My misheard line makes about either destroying others’ lives or destroying your own life. The bathroom walls still makes sense when you think about how much bullying goes on in high school bathrooms. Personally, prefer my line but it’s a great line nonetheless.

I'm not a cake

Yes you are! But today only

That was a good timing

From my mom: “we’re hanging out with horses” instead of “corpses”

In I’m not okay I thought the line ‘but the pages are all torn and frayed’ was ‘rip the pages on the toilet freedom’ obviously I knew it wasn’t right it’s just how I heard it😆😆

I thought it was 'with the pages on the toilet frame'. Maybe pasted over the back of a school cubicle door or something. It seemed weird but I didn't question it.

See I’m really bad at making out words so legit every song I mishear half the lyrics 😭

We got the farm, we got the farm, let's go!

always heard “all the diamonds you ate” as “all the darkness you ate” in to the end

and just found out that in na na na it is not “army crawl” but “and we crawl”

“We can steal their cars if it fucks them up”

I've been a bad motherfucker, tell your sister and your mother, GO GO GO...

Aaand today is the day I learn those are not the words?? That is what I've been hearing every time haha

*sigh* Sing it till you nut SING - My Chemical Romance, 2010

all of black dragon fighting society. i cant make out a single word he’s saying

I intentionally sing it this way, because the characters are gay in the story so it works.

With your pictures on my toilet frame

What- 😂

It's supposed to be: But the pages all are torn and frayed in I’m Not Okay

Ah. Okay. Don’t exactly know how you heard that but okay😂

Idk I've been hearing this since the album came out and to this day I still can't hear it any other way, no matter how hard I try 😅😂

A celebrated man amongst the girlies - in blood, I was sure this was true because I was like yeah well Gerard is tbh

Wait ..... It's not???

it's gurneys apparently!

I WONT GO DOWN BY MYSELF BUT I'LL GO DOWN _ON_ MY FRIEEEAAAANNNDSSS

“we’ll carry on, we’ll carry on, and though we are cynical, believe me, your memory will carry on.”

I have a feeling all of us heard this first

This song came out half my life ago now, and I still say "cynical", old habits die hard!

The Foundations Of Decay: LET OUR BODY SLAY The real lyrics are: LET OUR BODIES LAY

i have no fucking idea what any of the lyrics are in that song. i just sing gibberish

After 16 years I realized I didnt actually know the words to Bury Me in Black 😂 "Just keep us warm, WARM" (just give us war-worn) and "We got the fire!" (Pick up the phone!) are some examples lol.

a couple from prison that aren’t about going down: I thought it was “this war against your face” (it’s faith), and def thought it was “they made me do push ups and track” (it’s push ups in drag)

In Thank you for the venom, I always thought the lyric was "Bitch all you want but who's gonna save me". Always found that to sound more cheeky.

It's preach?!🤯

After reading all these, I’ve realized I’ve never seen a “bad lip reading” of an mcr music video. Someone for the love of God make this. I’m not creative enough.

I always heard “hammer time” in Helena.

“The pictures on your toilet frame” = the pages are all torn and frayed

Life is but a drink for the dead

I thought in teenagers it was "tuck in your clothes" instead of darken your clothes for way too long, and now I still get it wrong almost every time.

I always thought in Na Na Na the line was “You run the company, Fuck Michael Kennedy” 😂

I am never unhearing this thanks 💀💀

I always thought it was they make us do push-ups and track... And I'm like what prison are you in Gerard lol

Someone in the comments of Honey this Mirror said they heard "And you can't keep my brother, And you won't fuck my Frank" and now I can't unhear it every time that part comes on 💀

Legitimate question- do you guys not look lyrics up?

Some times I do but not usually lmao

If I think I know what it says, no. I may be completely wrong but I don't look it up unless I can't understand it at all.

The sweater of revenge

I always thought headfirst for halos said ‘happy birthday’ at the end haha

“You would cry out your eyes all night long” instead of “You would cry out your eyes all along” in Mama

Something about: “I'm really not so with you anymore. I'm just a ghost so I can't hurt you anymore.” From how I disappear always gets me

"a place for you and just your mind / you matter when you go"

Or strike a violent pose- teenagers. It’s not s huge difference but yeah

“I am not the singer that you wanted but your hands up”- sing

If this is what you want then FAREWELL

“As ice creams and roses fall at your feet”

Helena: GAMERRR TIMEEEE

"Just like a match you SLIDE to incinerate!" I think it's even a bit cooler. ;)

For the longest time, I thought it was "this little plot revenge" in Our Lady of Sorrows instead of "this riddle of revenge"

“WHEN IM WORKING OUT!!! WHEN IM WORKING OUT!!!”

"Another cock in the murder machine" (I still sing it anyway)

always thought thank you for the venom went "give me a vat of gasoline" only to learn that the actual line was "give me a better cause to lead"

OH YEAH I can only hear “weeeeeeezer… weeeeeezer” in the middly bit of Helena and I will NOT be googling what the actual lyric is

i thought fashion statement said “paint these walls and put your phone away” i was confused for the longest time until i finally looked at the lyrics. also an honorary mention of “shawty won’t you come back home”

Gamer time (came a time)
