not always. I saw this in a forum meant years ago, I wish I had saved a screenshot or something…
the forum thread was about the dumbest lyrics in songs and someone said sanitarium by metallica had these lyrics:
Got some death to do Mirror stairs back hard
Kill, it’s such a friendly word
and complained it’s nonsense. why would stairs be made of mirrors, and what did that have anything with the rest… also what does stairs back hard even mean, etc …
as you may have guessed even if you don’t know the song, the lyrics are “mirror stares back hard”, which means the person is talking about their own reflection having a look in their eyes.
not only were the misheard lyrics dumb, but I always admired the sheer confidence of the person who, upon hearing these nonsense lyrics, instead of using their internet access to look it up to confirm, used it to complain how stupid it was without thinking twice about whether they could have misunderstood.
