Misheard Lyrics:
And though you're singing, God, believe me.
Original Lyrics:
And though you're cynical, believe me.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Caz

I always thought it was "singing, God" but one day I just realised, just like that, that it was "cynical". It makes me laugh that lyrics sites think it's "dead and gone" because that wouldn't scan anyway!

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Cemetary Drive"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Singing songs that make you slit you wrists it
isn't that much fun staring down a loaded gun
Why They're Inappropriate:
They aren't someone else on here said they were because it was relating to cutting and suicide, in fact the actual lyrics are meant to be seen as 'Singing songs that make you slit your wrists, it isn't that much fun' so My Chem are in no way promoting suicide or self harm to kids.

Scary Song Lyrics:

"Our Lady of Sorrows"
The Lyrics:
And then we'll solve the mystery of laceration gravity
Why:
...It kind of paints violent mental images, if you ask me. Being virtually sliced up just by gravity.
Submitted by: Aninnymouse
"Early Sunsets Over Monroeville"
The Lyrics:
Up and down escalators, pennies and colder fountains
Elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains
Running away and hiding with you
I never thought they'd get me here
Not knowing you'd change from just one bite
I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight

But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
But does anything matter if you're already dead?
And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
And in saying you loved me,
Made things harder at best,
And these words changing nothing
As your body remains,
And there's no room in this hell,
There's no room in the next,
But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed?
Why:
I'm not even entirely sure why this song creeps me out so much... It starts off for the most part seeming sane and good-natured. When it gets to this bit where it sounds to me like the girl is a vampire and he has to shoot her... Eh. It all changes. And I find that the music is tense and building, too.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"Headfirst For Halos"
The Lyrics:
And now the red ones make me fly, And the blue ones help me fall, And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling. And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall, Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
Why:
If you don't listen to the lyrics, it's actually a very happy song. But the lyrics is about how the leadsinger used drugs.
Submitted by: Rianna
"Headfirst for Halos"
The Lyrics:
Well let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
Why:
It's probably about bipolar disorder. Also, the person takes drugs and commits suicide.
