    Fresh blood through tired skin
    New sweat to drown me in
    Dress up this rotten cock
    just to make it look alive

    I honestly can't believe he's saying 'carcass'. And it sounds exactly like cock again in the live version from 2009. I can't be the only one, can I?

    In the Satellite remix, it sounds like he says, "What is love?". Then I say..'baby don't hurt me no more'. lol.

    Holy Shit. I thought he was singing "see I could die into myself" too! Had to look up the lyrics to verify I was wrong. WTF??? Mind has been blown.

    Your reaction of "Trent's gonna Trent" is awesome too.

    My own misunderstood lyric, when I was younger (and smaller) I used to think the opening line to Last was "raise up, kinda bigger and now" instead of "gave up trying to figure it out". But he was really angry when he sang that song....always shouting, that younger Trent.

    Edit: the first ten times or so that I listened to Terrible Lie, I thought the chorus was "Tell the Lie!", which still makes sense. And my fiance' thought that the pre-chorus whisper scream of "God Given" was saying "Goddamnit!" We were singing along and cleaning and I had to stop the track and ask her what she sang. Good times.

    @BenAkenobi - Thanks again for pointing that out for me. That was funny, and a little bit embarrassing, might I add.

    Wow.

    I have to admit that I have just now been corrected on a NIN lyric that has been around for 9 years. I feel like my life is a lie. Kris, I have heard "pig" every single damn time that I've listened to "The Collector"...and I will probably still hear "pig" even though it's wrong every time I hear it for the rest of my life.

    Edit: regarding the song "last", there was a time that I thought he sang "dress up this rotten carpet just to make it look alive"

    This has been a great thread BTW.

    On Various, I get..I am balooping in my head. I had to look it up just now to see what it was! I was like, lol, he's not saying ballooping, is he? Cause that's kinda bad lyrics there. Like, he doesn't know what to write about anymore if he says ballooping...I was like what does that even mean? Like things are noodling around in his head? lol.

    Not a huge one, but I always heard:

    We're all hiding behind something
    They won't look behind

    instead of

    Well I'll hide it behind something
    They won't look behind

    @kleiner352 - It took a YTMND for me to hear that, but yes, you certainly aren't the only one.

    It actually happened to me when I was listening to Physical (You're So).

    Physical (You're So)

    Actual: "I want your roughhouse baby! I want this night in your ear!"

    What I keep hearing: "I want your rough ass baby! I want this right in your ear!

    Every Day Is Exactly The Same

    Actual: "I think I used to have a purpose, and then again, that might have been a dream."

    ...Holy frap, I actually had to look this up to make sure you weren't screwing with us. I've always heard that too! It never seemed weird to me, but then again, I've been listening to PHM since I was three...

    On the top of my head:

    Copy of A - "Always trying to catch up with myself" ... I always hear "Always trying to ketchup with myself"
    With an image of Trent pouring ketchup on himself.

    Came Back Haunted - "Now I've got something you have to see" ... I hear "Nah I got something, you have two sheep"

    In the bridge portion of THTF, I originally heard "so many" instead of "so naive".

    Whoa. I was way off on this part of While I'm Still Here. This is also yet another reason as to why I'm thankful for this thread's existence.
