It happens to the best of us. What Protomen lyrics have you or your friends misheard?

This one isn't mine, but my mom's. She thought 'My father's battle will be won!' was 'My father's building will be done!'

Kind of minor, but until the album came out I thought "there's something wrong here" from Breaking Out was "there's something wrong with the air". I sometimes still sing it like that, just because I'm so used to using that lyric instead.

The part in 'Breaking Out': "I can't hear nothing but the static. For years now, there's been nothing but the static on the radio!", I thought was, "I can't do nothing but hold steady. Oh yeah, I can't do nothing but hold steady, turn up the radio!". Haha.

Hahaha, not really a misheard lyric... but in Breaking Out I never really knew what Panther said near the beginning so instead of saying the true line "I am, I am ready" I would say "I don't know what he says here".

It actually works quite well... XP

realllly minor ones: "Everything that I've done I've done for you... but let's turn that around" (which didn't make any sense, so I listened more closely) Also, he sounds a bit like he's singing "water have I done" instead of "what" ;)

Also, "this city... she's been there for years now".

In Light Up the Night, when Light sings " It's like they gathered up the city", I used to hear, "It's like the god of the city". I don't know why I thought it was that though xD;

I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS mishear it as:

A beacon of light in a burning machine...
